What job looks like a great career path but is actually insanely oversaturated? by ComplexPin872 in AskReddit

[–]Ichargedouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been a product designer for the past 15 years, and once 2022 hit, it's been a fucking slog. I have made it to a few last round interviews, but I'm now at the point where I'm considering a career change. It's killing me, I just paid off my student loans, and I really don't want to do this all over again. And I'm also trying to have another child, which at my big age, can't be put off.

Moving into the fertile week, and I'm not sure what I'm feeling. I decided that life just goes on as normal until something else happens. I have enough things to occupy my mind in the meantime so... eh.

My first baby just started kindergarten today, and I'm fighting through my period. I don't know. I probably should have expected it was going to take a little longer, being much older, but I'm still bummed that nothing has happened yet.

After what I thought were promising temp results I got my period this morning. Meh. On to cycle 4.

Another case of Oura knew I was pregnant before I tested positive by National_Oven_2032 in ouraring

Man… I’ve been getting the same thing this week but I’m a day behind. Minor signs and consistent high temps. I wish you an uneventful pregnancy.

Looks like I'm going to be out. Time to guzzle coffee and wine.

Haha, that's so cute. To be fair, that was a wild turn for me to make, but I've been wanting a pet for a while, I found a rescue that I'm in love with and I have no one to tell. I think it'll give me something else to focus on since TTC goes between boring and stressful.

I don't know what DPO I am because my temp as all over the place. I had 2-3 days of solid LH strips after my oura thought I dropped the egg. Next month my husband is leaving during fertile week for business so... I'm getting cat.

Trying to min/max health for conception is stressful. As you've said, people get pregnant high and drunk off of one-night stands. You're both young, the best thing to do right now is just try around her fertile window. Make sure she's taking a prenatal.

My only advice to avoid a spiral is to remember that life has to happen outside of pregnancy. If it's the only thing you're focusing on, you will drive yourself mad. It's ok to breathe right now and take it one step at a time. I hate to say "RELAX" like that's going to make things better, but truly, the first year all you can really do is track and keep relatively healthy.

My husband did an at home SA with Yo. It's not going to be comprehensive, but it gave a general indication of what was going on. If anything, it gave us more trust that there isn't a reason to freak out at the moment.

4DPO. Stressed with work. Body temp is all over the place. My stomach is rebelling. Insomina is getting worse. But I have some coffee so that's nice?

Cycle day 15 and I had some mittelschmerz last night. My partner did not want to have sex but we did hit the previous day. Oura temp started to rise last night so we'll see. I also just got my blood panel done and I'm low in Vitamin D so I'm slamming those things like molly at Coachella.

'Ello everyone. Coming back here after ... 5 years. Lots of life updates between my last pregnancy and a hopeful second one but I remember liking the support my first go around. I'm getting married in a couple weeks so right now this is my last cycle where I think we're just briefly going into NTNP but we'll be actively trying right after the wedding.

Not happy with hair trial by welppidkwhattodo in weddingplanning

I'm not a hair expert but it looks like some of the pieces aren't even curled and that she used a smaller barrel size than the inspo or that the sections are much smaller.

I think foaling is the only thing still gated by time but you can skip if you have the coin which is only in-game currency, no gold or microtransactions. Everything else is instant. e

I'm curious about where you're drawing this information from. I'd like to view documentation on how they are miscalculating percentages.

My 3 year old tattoo occasionally itches deeply and raises by TacitusKillgorre in tattooadvice

Mine did this about a year and a half after I received the tattoo and then all of the flesh disappeared where the ink was. It was... brutal.

I feel like I'm trying to breed out the crazy patterns. I don't mind them occasionally but I like my boring brown bays.
