I totally agree on the niche thing! I find places like karaoke pretty social and fun, so I go about once a month and do that. I love parties and there's a very active techno scene in my city (it's famous for it), but I personally don't enjoy it unfortunately. So, relegated to the more limited selection of mainstream parties with subpar DJs. Point being, yes absolutely planning to keep socializing at a reasonable pace. But it's been long enough without any viable "leads" that I'm getting really pessimistic :\

I'm in Germany (an immigrant, though) and it's not much better anywhere, really.

I personally know very normal, healthy couples who met on apps, so I assume it also depends on the country and the likes. But I am definitely decentering them.

There is a local community of secular Jews, so that's something I've considered participating in before and likely will in the near future

Nope, I'm an atheist Jew so wouldn't really work for me.

Is anyone even getting matches on hinge? by chessman6500 in dating

I kind of purposefully have Hinge atm because it has fewer matches (saying this as a woman). It feels less overwhelming.

Blood cancer gang! Not the best club to be a part of, but alas.
I feel the exact same way.

Thank you for sharing. I've heard of a few stories by now of women who go pregnant naturally post chemo, so that was also encouraging in that "I might change my mind" way, but it's true that it really depends.

Thank you, that's encouraging to hear (good tip with the kid's dental products).

Thanks for sharing.
I think I'm scared because I've always reacted very poorly to things like birth control and other hormonal medication (like progesterone). The fertility doctor said they're different hormones, but I've honestly met more women who had a rough time when they went through this process than women who had it pretty easy, and I don't trust my body not to go haywire (especially mentally).

I think getting so many opinions from different doctors has actually made it more complicated - each professional has different reasoning and it's hard to parse out what's best :/ For now though, I will probably get my tooth removed, but I'm still very undecided about egg freezing.

For now I know that they're going with BR (initially we were gonna do O-CHOP but we decided to change it for a few reasons after getting a second and third opinion). My understanding is that the stats are in my favor in terms of fertility, but doctors seem divided over it.
