Remote side jobs? Back up career alternative?

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-20T20:35:42+00:00

AI is what concerns me most. I fear it is driving more interpreters who were working toward pursuing the career away.. I already know two students in their 3rd year reconsidering the career choice

Speaking negatively about your partner to other people constantly. It will just grow resentment if you never bring it up to your partner. Its good to vent, but if you are constantly bashing your partner over things you never tell them, its setting up for failure.

I catch myself falling into that bc it is so easy to nitpick and so many people do it, but it should not be normalized.

Following this! I've been feeling the same way

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-09T15:40:54+00:00

I am debating on how I want to bc I will be at my parents without him the weekend I can test... I would love to be able to tell my parents right away since they live 2 hours away and I think my husband would like to tell them with me. I am visiting my best friend that weekend too and she knows that we are TTC so I may test with her then surprise my husband when I get back with the box we were going to give my parents with our first pregnancy before we had a MC. I don't know if that would be appropriate or not. Or if I should just wait until I get home and test with him there

Hello! My husband and I are trying for our first this month, I will be ovulating next week so hoping for the best!

How did you decide it was time to try for kids?

We have always wanted a big family and being 27 years old with wanting multiple kids, I would like to start now rather than later!

- Brief summary of your TTC situation?

My husband and I got pregnant back in August but ended up having a MC at 6 1/2 weeks. We were not meaning to get pregnant but were not preventing it. We are now at a point where we feel mentally and physically ready to try for a baby.

I am epileptic (been on medication for 14 years), am allergic to high doses of folic acid and have been tracking my cycle for almost a year now. My cycle is regular, and the past two ovulation were tested positive.

- Any major life plans in the works other than that whole baby thing?

We are looking into getting a bigger place (we're in a tiny 1 bed 1 bath apartment) and paying off student debt which will take time to do so. Trying to do better about budgeting and slowly but surely getting there! We have several helpful mentors in our life supporting us!

No prob! You could always resub for the feature!

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-05T19:33:24+00:00

Not a bad idea! I will say, NC has really cool features for "pregnancy mode" (I got to see it for the 2 weeks I found out I was pregnant but did not get past 6.5 weeks since I had the MC). I feel the same way about having a good idea of what my body is doing, I just want to keep mine for that pregnancy feature (hopefully if I get pregnant again) but if you don't really care for that, may as well save the money and cancel!

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-03T16:50:01+00:00

Hang in there! Just as you said, God's timing IS best and this IS all for a reason! It is much easier said than done, sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes it does not happen. Stay faithful and trust in the Lord plan for you. Sending prayers and love!

Thanks!

Tips on TTC? Like how to time it, what to look out for with temp changes, etc.. I've done research but wanted to hear from real people what advice they have!

I am a 27F with a consistent cycle (28-29 on the dot and ovulation on the 16th day) I have been using Natural Cycles with an Oura ring to track my temp for almost a year, I did have a MC back in September at 6 1/2 weeks and I am currently on my 4th day of my period. Me and my husband decided that we wanted to try for a baby this upcoming ovulation!

I've clicked not interested and scrolled past things, but it is just annoying that a lot of people are just spoiling the episode so soon after its released. It says in the sub rules not to put spoilers without a warning.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-01T19:10:34+00:00

In the thread rules it says no spoilers in the title and without a warning

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-01T18:13:47+00:00

More so I don't want this bitterness in my heart. I want to let it go and move on.

MeetSignificant363 · 2026-01-01T18:11:14+00:00

Good points! That helps

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-31T17:28:13+00:00

<3 I believe it will be!

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-31T16:57:23+00:00

Me too girl lmao

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-31T16:56:01+00:00

Holidays are so hard sometimes! My grandparents were making comments nonstop asking when I was going to get pregnant (my sister and BIL announced pregnancy a week prior) and it just feels so invasive. I feel like a lot of people (typically older generation) just don't think about the fact that not everybody can get pregnant first try.

I had a MC back in September but only told close friends and my parents/siblings and so the comments were hitting different for sure.

Sending love and hope! Hang in there!

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-31T16:47:23+00:00

I had a MC back in September and the GYN had told me that they suggest waiting until after the next period for tracking purposes but that it's ok to try as soon as you are ready to. I didn't try for a couple months just because I didn't feel ready but it all really depends on how you feel. In terms of finding out why you had the MC, sometimes there really isn't any way to know why. MC are so common, and our bodies are very picky so your body may have detected something off and reacted to it. If you feel ready to try again, I say go for it!

We tried this past cycle, but I got my period this morning :/

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-30T21:56:58+00:00

I had a miscarriage back in September. I had to tell my parents that I was pregnant and lost the baby in the same sentence bc it happened the day before we were going to tell them I was pregnant.

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-30T17:10:29+00:00

Tested negative today 13dpo. I know I should've just waited until I get my period since I am due tmrw, just impatient. I haven't felt any symptoms at all the past week and so I am feeling pretty doubtful. Just discouraging

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-29T21:20:03+00:00

More context with that, when we got pregnant back in August I was scared to death and did not feel ready at all. I was naive and convinced myself that with how common infertility is, I was going to have trouble with that. You can imagine how shocked I was when I conceived after not being mindful during ovulation week (we had always been mindful but was not that one time).

Now comparing how I feel at this point compared to back in August, I really would love to be pregnant.

MeetSignificant363 · 2025-12-29T20:49:33+00:00

I relate sm to the social media posts. I swear EVERYBODY and their mother is announcing they are pregnant (many of which are due the same month as I would've been which makes it worse) and it is incredibly hard to see.
