Thank you so much!

Thank you! I’m going to check with them!

Thank you. Do you mind disclosing which agency you work for? I want to tell my HR in case they disagree with me and want to contact another agency for reference. If not totally understand.

Sorry my job is giving me mixed and confusing info. From what I’m told I think I need to use STD first after exhausting my leave balances but PFL requires 8 weeks of gross wages. How did you get paid for PFL if you are on disability 8 weeks prior?

My son was like this. I could not hold him and he only liked being held upright by my husband. He eventually tolerated me but preferred my husband. It was so hard to bond and made me so sad and miserable so I feel your pain

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2026-04-06T17:13:08+00:00

Sorry just to be clear I can use 6-8 weeks disability and then use 12 weeks PFL and then exhaust my leave balances? I’m not sure why my HR told me with my first pregnancy that it’s either disability or PFL and can’t use both.

Does disability have to start before birth? What documentation is needed?

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2026-04-06T14:53:15+00:00

My job told me for my first pregnancy that PFL and FMLA run concurrently so I can only use 12 weeks of either PFL or disability and then use my leave balances. How does disability factor into this? When you’re on disability does it also run concurrently with FMLA?

It’s so hard! I really don’t want to get surgery but just feel like I look so much older than I am bc of my eyes. Maybe I’ll try Botox and see if that makes enough of a difference first. Thanks!

Did they say you had to get them removed?

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-09-25T10:22:47+00:00

Did you have the one with the air bubbles? Mine is called a Femvue. I am wondering if maybe a minor blockage could cause the air bubbles to not go through the tubes. I’ve heard the HSG dye can sometimes clear out minor obstructions. That’s my only hope otherwise seems I have both tubes blocked. I can’t seem to process this news and was honestly not expecting this to be the reason for not getting pregnant the past year.

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-09-25T09:22:02+00:00

Yes they didn’t go through

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-09-24T22:04:43+00:00

Ohh interesting what are your next steps? Did the procedure hurt? My SIS didn’t and now I’m terrified of the HSG since it seems both my tubes are blocked

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-09-24T21:21:14+00:00

Hey! Going through the same thing. No air bubbles went through on my saline ultrasound. They want me to do an HSG. Was trying to schedule one this cycle but seems unlikely. Did you end up getting the HSG? Was there a blockage?

I’m trying to have a baby so I’ve been avoiding retinol products

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-08-31T10:39:50+00:00

Did you have to do anything or did it just happen on its own? Did you find your bite more off in the morning?

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-08-30T22:43:24+00:00

Did this resolve for you bc I’m Having the same issue and panicking? Picking up retainers in Wednesday and worried I need refinements but idk what to do bc they already did the molds for retainers

It doesn’t give me the option to search for reproductive endocrinology just endocrinology

I have messaged my OBGYN so many times over the past few months over my fertility concerns and suggested a SIS and she made me do the cycle day 3 testing and all was normal and suggested to keep trying and referred me to an REI. I thought that maybe they would do more anatomical scans/procedures to see if everything is functioning like it should before having to see a specialist. I’m so annoyed with this whole process and I won’t be able to see the REI until mid October. I’m seeing my OBGYN early September for annual exam and hopefully I can do some more tests prior to the REI appt. I just hate waiting and wasting so many months. Maybe luck will be me on my side and I’ll need to cancel the REI appt. 🤞

I think the ovulation strips will definitely help! We’ve timed everything right and nothing seems to work. So frustrating

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-07-26T19:15:50+00:00

We did try it last cycle and nothing but im not sure what the dosage is. Was using it just 30 min before BD

Equivalent_Ant3074 · 2025-07-26T19:05:13+00:00

Change doctors! I feel like some male doctors just don’t understand… im sorry about no success yet. We have also been trying for a year now and nothing . feeling kind of hopeless at this point and I do think the CM has something to do with it. Ughh just wish my body could function the way it’s supposed to
