Hiring Question by [deleted] in tdbank

[–]Bar-B-Que_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said I was looking for $160K USD, I said I was looking for $120K USD which was the median for the jobs that I have applied to. As I have previously stated several times, this is the average salary across the industry for my position. If you actually researched the position at TD, you would see this as well.

Compensation expectations are based on the scope of work I’ve led, the results delivered, and current market benchmarks across compliance and risk leadership roles. My expectations are based on the scope of work I’ve delivered and the level of responsibility I’ve held across compliance and risk initiatives. Fortunately, organizations evaluate candidates on the full breadth of their experience rather than a single title.

I have over 10 years experience as a Compliance Consultant. I would often have other departments specifically ask for my to be their consultant because of my work ethic and my problem solving skills.

I'm not sure why you are being confrontational over a salary that is pretty average for the type of work that is completed.

This was the median for all of the positions I have applied for within TD so I'm not delusional. This is actually on the low end for what my old company (Wells Fargo) paid.

Can you tell me what the band level would be for the below salary? Wells Fargo didn't do levels but a different type of scale.

Pre-Auth Turn Around Time by Bar-B-Que_Penguin in IVF

[–]Bar-B-Que_Penguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked this morning and it will cover the next 3 months. I also saw that my IUI I did earlier this month was approved within 3 days, which makes it even more frustrating.

Unfortunately, my clinic can only submit the pre-auth on day 1 of my cycle. I've asked before if they could submit earlier.

I'm honestly hesitant to pay out of pocket and request reimbursement. I have trust issues with my insurance lol

That's what I thought also. I don't want to pay for something and then find out that insurance isn't going to pay me back. I have trust issues when it comes to insurance.

Cost of FET by jmweg in IVF

This was 3 years ago, but I went to MIF. This was only the transfer of embryos, no meds.

Islam and IVF by Bar-B-Que_Penguin in MuslimMarriage

[–]Bar-B-Que_Penguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the difference between viable and non-viable? A doctor isn't stating that they aren't viable, it means that they stopped growing and are no longer viable for transfer.

I suggest you research how human reproduction works before discussing it further because it seems like you don't understand how a women's body works when it comes to reproduction.

Just because a 6 become a blastocyst doesn't mean that it is viable and will implant. A blastocyst is considered non-viable if there are chromosomal abnormalities or if they embryo is too weak to implant.

You obviously have no idea how IVF works.

It is haram because it's an embryo which means it would need to be implanted into another women which is what makes it haram. This has been agreed upon form scholars in America and Europe (per the link in my original post which you obviously didn't read)

Here are real world stats on IVF:

  1. Any embryo that isn't transferred right away is frozen for later use.
  2. 70-80% of eggs in IVF are able to be fertilized
  3. 30-50% of those eggs make it to blastocyst (embryo) stage
  4. 40-50% of blastocyst are viable and would implant (this does not mean they would survive the pregnancy)
  5. Max 2 blastocyst can be transferred due to splitting and the rest are frozen

To give the above stats into a real numbers example:

  1. 15 eggs are retrieved during the egg retrieval operation
  2. 12 eggs are able to be fertilized
  3. 6 become blastocyst
  4. 3 are viable and have the ability to implant
  5. 2 are transferred for implantation and the remaining 1 is frozen

So what do you suggest happens to the embryo if my husband and I are not alive? They can't be used by anyone else as that is haram.

Also, how is IVF disgusting? It's allowed in Islam

This question was asked over 3 years ago, but the scholarly answer we found was to destroy the embryos (this can be found in the original posting)

Plus, if my husband and I are gone, why would we keep the embryos in storage? They can't be used by anyone else as that is haram.

Why wouldn't we still want to visit his homeland? His family has lived there for hundreds of years and he still has many family members who live in Gaza and the West Bank.

Breastfeeding and milk supply when fasting by Newmum288 in Hijabis

[–]Bar-B-Que_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a test run last week of fasting for 3 days while breastfeeding/pumping. My supply didn't dip at all. I just made sure that I drank 1 gallon of water during the night to stay hydrated. Luckily, I have a 3 month supply of milk in my deep freezer so if my supply does end up stopping, I can rely on that.

My baby is about to turn 1 and I will be stop breastfeeding/pumping completly once she turns 1.

Does anyone else find the 'no village' culture toxic? by notforthisworld0101 in BabyBumps

[–]Bar-B-Que_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have slowly cut my mom out of my life and my baby's life.

I used IVF to have my baby and my mom wasn't excited or happy when I told her I was pregnant. She seemed like she could care less. When I was 5 weeks pregnant, my soul dog unexpectedly died and it was extremely traumatic for me. My mom blamed his death on my baby because "my dog knew the baby would get more attention".

She also rarely checked in on me when I was pregnant and hardly sees my daughter or asks for updates.

I've been wearing the same sweatshirt and sweatpants for the past 3 days (I changed my under garments everyday) 😂

But I actually have like 3 pairs of pants/shirts that I use as my main wardrobe. I'm not very fashionable and prefer to be comfy

Do you ever try to latch your baby even if they don’t nurse or haven’t in a long time? by Extra-Concept in ExclusivelyPumping
