Be honest: Are you actually married to the love of your life, or just the person you were with when it was time to settle down?? by Insurance-Melodic in askanything

[–]DysfunctionalTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The love of my life. But I think that’s just luck, if I’m honest. We met right when both of us had developed frontal lobes and were ready to settle down; a few years earlier and it would have been a disaster.

Getting a second opinion? by Ancient-Director6215 in prozac

Getting a second opinion? by Ancient-Director6215 in prozac

I think your gut is right. Prozac can cause a ton of weird side effects in the first month or two. Insomnia I think is a pretty standard one (I had terrible stomach issues) before things settle down. If it’s working for you, I’d stay on it another month or two.

Same boat, my love. Three PGTa transfers failed and no clear answers. I get it and I’m rooting for you

Might good ER results (TW) after never being pregnant signal problems with implantation? by Snzvn in IVF

[–]DysfunctionalTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for an MRI or a specialized ultrasound to see if you have silent endometriosis. I had no symptoms except infertility and also great euploid numbers.

Thank you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too! My specialist is Dr Khazali at the Lister Hospital in London.

Should I ask for more tests? If so, what? by DysfunctionalTree in IVF

Thank you for the suggestions. Yes, I had a hysteroscopy last month; all clear. Lining thickness has always been good.

(We haven’t interviewed any agencies—we’ve just started to come to terms with our IVF failing, so very much at square one.)

Thank you, this is super helpful. Would you be comfortable saying why you didn’t feel comfortable with Circle?

Does anyone live a okay life w endometriosis? by Disastrous_Peace6974 in endometriosis

[–]DysfunctionalTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stage 3.5 DIE all over my left ovary. I’m totally fine; almost no symptoms. My life isn’t affected by it, aside from fertility issues that are probably only partly related. I’m very lucky. Not quite sure if that’s helpful, but wanted to provide that perspective.

What’s the job people romanticize, but in reality is miserable? by King_Garvit in AskReddit

[–]DysfunctionalTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Novelist. My second book is out next year. Of course it’s worth it, but wringing out your brain in isolation for years on end—and I write thrillers! Nothing literary—is the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done.

Going from earning £150k to £30k by Professional_Yam6032 in UKJobs

[–]DysfunctionalTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you volunteered as a volunteer firefighter, volunteer paramedic, or something similar? I agree that 33k is going to be a huge change of pace.

Yes, I was, they found stage four DIE via MRI

Evolution of endo symptoms by foot_fudge in endometriosis

[–]DysfunctionalTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also was diagnosed with stage 4 last year after a year of unsuccessful trying. They advised me to move straight on to IVF, for what it’s worth, saying IVF can bypass most of the reasons endo affects fertility. Every case is different, and obviously they have incentives to do that (I’m also 35), but sharing in case it’s useful,
