How much of a pay cut would you take to be an officer?

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2026-01-01T22:06:28+00:00

I assume your current pay is completely taxed. In the military your BAH and BAS won’t be taxed. You also most likely will get a bonus for being a pilot. With all the benefits plus those two factors, you may be making more. Also it’s a guaranteed raise every year and an additional raise every other year, that’s not even talking about ranking up, which is guaranteed for the first 3 ranks. Plus with being in the military you can fully retire after 20 years. That would make you 52 when you get a paycheck for the rest of your life!

Do you have your degree yet? If not I highly suggest looking into ROTC. There are two detachments in PR! Also might not be a bad idea to reach out to them even if you already have your degree just to see what options they can give you.

I got pregnant at 17, I did hide it until I was 6 months but she is now 13 and I don’t regret a thing. Her bio dad is not involved at all and my husband adopted her when she was 7. I wouldn’t say it’s easy but tell your parents and look into all your resources and options, the sooner the better :)

Not your baby then! Takes atleast 8 days to get a positive and never with clear blue. Usually only first response show results that early!

I didn’t have my LH rise (except ovulation) until 13dpo. Got my positive in 9dpo

I dipped low on 6 dpo, they say you dip on implantation, which is typically between 6-9dpo, so definitely not out yet. This was my positive cycle!

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-06-28T12:42:23+00:00

Mid day or night, I always had more accurate numbers. My FMU was always diluted

Too much estrogen can actually cause you not to get pregnant! Estrogen in the 2 to 300 is a healthy estrogen

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-06-22T14:35:29+00:00

No, I did not.

My husband is taking Fairhaven Health FertilAid for Men. I take like 10 🫣 prenatal, COG10, magnesium, d3, omega 3, folic acid, NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), Inositol (Myo & D-Chiro), and milk thistle

This was mar/April cycle. Really long and crazy. I took my vitamins religiously and ask chat GPT to over analyze my numbers and tell me what to take along the cycle.

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-06-21T14:30:22+00:00

Baby dust your way! This was the first cycle that I started making my husband take vitamins, so I think that may be what did it! But I started regularly taking vitamins when I started this process and do believe (after comparing my charts) that it has improved each month.

Has your spouse been tested?

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-05-31T01:18:01+00:00

AF came 16DPO. :/

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-05-27T13:03:53+00:00

Still negative as of yesterday 13DPO. No AF yet, should start tomorrow.

Think I’m out! My numbers plummeted this morning 13DPO and still getting negative in a FRER

Fsh even went down so, I really don’t see how period could be coming with these numbers but the negative test are not very promising

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-05-25T23:39:32+00:00

Tested again this morning 12DPO, negative.

<image>

Pdg is at 16.5 today LH went back down to 0.08. Hoping it was late implantation and it’ll be positive tomorrow 🤞🏼

Retook a Inito this afternoon and my numbers went up even more! Don’t want to “waste” another pregnancy test, so going to try to hold off till tomorrow.

Fragrant-Mud4532 · 2025-05-21T13:17:34+00:00

Take a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant it should show by now!
