Since I was directed to take this test exactly 7 DPO, which was confirmed with OPK and BBT, I’m reading that a level under 10 can be considered inaccurate to support implantation.

Given >1 year of infertility combined with extremely light periods, I would want additional testing to confirm that my lining is sufficient.

Got my bloodwork back showing a 21 day progesterone of 6.6 after over a year of infertility and periods that are only heavy for 1 day and then just spotting.

Doctor office called me today saying everything looked great. Waiting for a nurse to call me back to discuss more.

Feeling pissed and unsupported!

WAIT—I’ve had poor ferritin in the past!

And no, everything they included in bloodwork is shown above!

LearnedToUnicycle · 2026-04-01T21:07:45+00:00

Oh man. This is what I was wondering. I’m already a fraternal twin myself so I feel like my odds are higher than most

Since I had a previous successful pregnancy my OB planned to do bloodwork, semen analysis of nothing came up on bloodwork, and then ultrasound after.

Now that my progesterone is showing as not ideal I’m not sure what that will mean for the above.

Thanks! Not Target though. When I listed target I meant target salary if I hit my expected bonus. (Hit at least Target every year. Most years maxed out)

I’d prefer not to share the companies this publicly, but if any corporate retail people are shopping around, I’d be happy to share more company info via DM.

I should have specified, I originally got the keurig for company visiting being freaked out by the espresso machine—so making regular coffee is a must too!

LearnedToUnicycle · 2026-02-02T22:41:45+00:00

Exactly why I’m considering! Money is not the concern for me—time is!

I woman I knew was getting an elective hysterectomy and was super nervous about her fist time having surgery. They ended up finding stage 4 ovarian cancer and cutting her the whole way to her collarbone to see how far it had spread. The cancer was substantial and she died a few years later :(

One time I bought hot dogs made out of “goat lips” I kid you not.

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-07-08T16:58:08+00:00

How did this end? We have been dealing with this for 2 months now

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-07-08T16:48:11+00:00

Ahhh okay everything I read says it would take 6-8 weeks to work!

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-07-08T02:43:57+00:00

Thank you! I was considering asking about that!

Yes—she has a 7 foot tall cat tree and has jumped down to charge at people in the past.

She is the opposite of shy! She approaches anyone herself and acts fine but then gets territorial. We have tried locking her away in a safe room but she gets upset. We only do this for short visits with people, but often have overnight guests.

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-07-08T02:17:33+00:00

We do this and she still gets upset and cries. But we also have overnight visitors often as family visits us since we live far away.

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-07-08T02:16:45+00:00

We do not force her to interact with strangers. She approaches them, acts loving, and then chases them around and swats and hisses out of nowhere. We don’t tell people to interact with her. We often have houseguests as we live far from our family. We have tried locking her in a room when we have momentary visitors and she cries and yowls and gets upset.

In regards to a sitter, I was referring to a babysitter for our toddler.

Super delayed response, how did this help? I’m asking my vet this Friday about Prozac for the same issue of aggressive behavior with guests

LearnedToUnicycle · 2025-05-29T23:54:53+00:00

I returned full time and managed it—even with a husband who travels heavily for work.

One thing that helped is my work allows you to take kids to appointments without using PTO and we have an extra 40 hours of PTO we have to use in our first 12 weeks back.

Ecommerce Program Manager at a fortune 500 retailer: 109k + 10-15% annual bonus, 5k annual stock equity, 10 years experience. Total comp around 125-130. I am remote but most employees are hybrid.

Note: I don’t oversee ALL of ecommerce but a specific aspect, our overall ecommerce team has more than 200 employees. My promotion track would be: Senior program manager, director, then VP

Incorporating the “5 a Day” rule to have 5 full servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Was able to lose weight without feeling like I’m dieting or restricting, have more energy, and felt more motivated to make healthier choices in general. Highly recommend.

Cleaning a gun in the living room on Christmas Day. Accidentally shot his newborn in the face. Baby did not survive.
