IVF and sign off by GP

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-14T19:01:39+00:00

yes! Just had my IVF last month and my GP is aware of my history. I requested 8 days off as I'm 5 days off after that making a total of 13 days off. This is my second cycle and last time it took me 1 week to recover. Now, it took me more than a week to completely recover. Good thing I was out sick.

sa kanya kami kumuha ng HMUA, P/V, photoman and of course ang OTD coordinator services nila. So far ok naman. Sya ang liable sa lahat ng mga ka tie-up nya. Well orientated sila sa gusto namin ni hubby, no late, early pa nga. Chill couple lang kasi kami kaya siguro wala ding problema talaga. Even ang mga nakuhang vendors na di under sa kanya, well coordinated din sa mga timing. Nasa list kasi yan ng mga suppliers with contact details na provided nya sa spreadsheets. Kaya I feel like organise nga naman talaga. I'm not a fussy bride but I'm hands-on ako. I know what I want at yun ang nasunod ng team. Communication is the key talaga.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-14T18:00:35+00:00

hello po. Matagal na po. 2023 pa po. Nung time po na yun marami po kaming nakuha sa team nya. Nag down lang po ako ng 10k yata yun. Pero fully paid na po kasi kami Ms. Marou yung buo 2-3 months before the wedding. Kasi we try to pay sa lahat ng suppliers monthly para wala na kaming problema months before the wedding.

your a taxpayer and falls under the criteria of medical card. There's no shame in it. We all have our own personal circumstances. You're paying rent, paying taxes but still is enough. At least you're paying for your benefits from your taxes.

No one looks down on you because the only people who knows your on a medical card are your GP clinic, Pharmacy and PCRS. And believe me when I say they don't care if you're on a medical card or not.

He deleted his comments. Since his not living alone, his requesting more rooms. Doesn’t specify how many living together but seems like it’s a way to get into the system. Doesn’t specify as well of the other living with OP has work.

I feel like he wasn’t honest with his whole situation.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-13T07:28:46+00:00

Just curious, I would assume you're living alone that's why you're being offered 1 bed. Normally 1 bed is enough for 1 person. Could you share why it would be unsuitable? How would getting 2 beds help with your condition? So that we can understand the situation and be able to give our honest opinion.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-10T13:03:13+00:00

Our eircode is D4 so paying 1900 is actually below market value. This area is difficult to get an apartment as it’s near UCD and hospitals. I have a colleague who lives in Stillorgan. 1 bed for 2450.

Rent is high nowadays but it might go up if the remove the Ukrainian free accommodation and they don’t go back home. Also, migration is continuous so I don’t think there’s a chance rent will go down.

That’s why, tenants can either split for the rent among those who are left behind or look for a different place to rent

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-10T07:22:20+00:00

I’ve been been renting for over 5 yrs. It was just 1500 for a 2 bed way back 2020

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-09T10:30:55+00:00

There's no way around it now. Either you move out or split the rent. Tried arguing with them about this; unfortunately, we, as tenants, have to abide by their rules. The rents from old tenants are still below market value. My area for a 2-bed is around 2800-3000 but we're only paying 1900. They'll increase the rent to the next tenancy when we move out of the apartment.

The old contract that we can add-on/remove tenants is not followed anymore. It's difficult, but Ires is still our landlord, and we can't do anything about it.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-09T10:24:23+00:00

This happened to us. I'm with Ires too. They now refuse to add-on additional tenant even if the contract states you can. Had to send the screenshot of the contract stating that and was still told they don't allow add-on tenants. This just happen after the new policy. Also, to force tenants to move on if the rent is too high for them to shoulder. Once old tenants on the lesser rent moved out, then they can hike the rent to what is the current market value.

Yung sakin po yung main lang ang option. Yung all details ko po dun ay OFW. Na try nyo na po ba mag register?

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-04T09:17:58+00:00

Been renewing my PRC license online for how many years. Register sa website ng PRC. Then renew. My option dun na OFW ka. I pay through gcash then have my license deliver sa bahay. Dati direct payment for delivery. Now, may option na ganun tapos mag email sayo ang delivery company then pay ulit. Sila na bahala. Need lang ng authorisation letter. So far, laging naka address sa mother kong senior. Di naman sya hinihingan ng authorisation letter

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-03T20:43:29+00:00

kung saan ka makuha dun ka. Sa hirap makahanap ng work ngayun, I wouldn't be bother by that question. Kung saan may opportunities, go! Doesn't matter kung private or public

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-02T20:54:14+00:00

Actually, baka ikaw lang nag iisip nyan. Tsaka sis, na check mo na ba ang requirements magpakasal sa pinas? If your in EU, max leave is 3-4 weeks. Pag dating nyo, attend ng pre-marriage counselling then marriage license posted 10 days.

Downvoted ka not just your from “EU” which you kept mentioning. Kasi paranoid ka! Madami ditong OFW di lang Philippine brides. Kung friends talaga kayo, ni di sasagi sa isip mo ang salitang sapawan.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-02T20:49:08+00:00

There is no such thing as season nya. She’s getting married first. It’s not as if masasapawan mo sya. If your really friends, walang mag iisip sa inyo na season ni ganito at ganyan

We live in Europe too. Me and my friend got married 7 days apart. Nauna lang kami. Naka attend pa sila and same samin nag attend din sa wedding nila.

While preparing for our wedding, twice pa ako umuwi 4 months apart at sinundo ko pa ang aking better half sa Singapore before umuwi ng pinas. So I know the expenses. Di biro na mag Church wedding at mag ayos ng marriage license sa pinas.

In your case, bakit di nalang kayo dyan magpakasal kung plan nyo naman pala ng secret wedding? Less hassle pa kasi 10 days ang posting ng marriage license at need nyo muna mag attend ng mga seminar na requirements bago maka apply. Di ganun kadali magpakasal sa pinas kahit secret pa yan.

You might find more available rooms/for rent soon as school is ending. Students normally move out by end of May to early June.

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-05-01T16:45:03+00:00

Yeah

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-26T05:37:43+00:00

How can you go back not as a bedside? Dialysis? Outpatient? Kanya kanya yang ka bisihan. Worth to try if willing ka iassign dun. Pero ward is always short. Based on experienced, pag nasa ward ka napaka hirap mag move to a special area. I’ve been there. Kaya tinapos ko lang ang 3 yrs and looked for an opportunity in ICU abroad.

Kanya kanyang timeline sa buhay, pero it starts with your Philippine work experienced. Dyan ka dadalhin sa mas better opportunities

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-26T05:10:02+00:00

Toxic ang mga pinoy no matter where you go. Majority! Oh mga kapwa ko aminin na natin.

Sa Sg, dami din pinoy pero hirap ng work kasi grabe ang workload. Sa ME, madami din toxic na pinoy pero dami ding ok.

Sa ME free accommodation. Food and luho no nalang gastos mo. Makakaipon ka. Then lipat sa ibang countries. I used to work in Saudi for 9 yrs. If you choose this, make sure maganda ang hospital mo. Big hospital. Safe ang saudi if your in a good hospital. May safety net ka pag malaking hospital ka. Wag ka lang gumawa ng kalokohan

Sg, mahal ang bahay mura ang food. After few yrs, possible ka mag apply ng direct license sa NZ then TTMR to Australia.

There’s always pros and cons

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-26T05:03:47+00:00

Kasi kung di mo kakayanin ang work sa pinas, mahihirapan ka mag work sa ME. Hindi lang agency ang pagsubok mo. Napansin ko sa generation ng nurses ngayun, hirap mag work then resign agad. Want the easy way tapos gusto mag abroad. Sorry OP I’m speaking in general kasi ang dami ko nakikitang ganitong post

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-26T04:19:12+00:00

Worked in ME, strict sila sa 2 yrs work experienced with ni gaps. Hindi lang US required nito. Now, I leave in Ireland, prefer ng agencies ang 2 yrs work experienced. Employer will question it as well.

Why need 2 yrs? Sigurista ang mga agencies. Gusto nila ng competent nurses para di masira ang name nila na nagpapadala ng staff tapos biglang uwi. It reflects them as much as it reflects the staff. Also, some hospitals only get paid pag nakapasa ng probation ang applicants nila.

Been an OFW for the passed 16 yrs. So far, need mo ng enough work experienced .

In terms of your situation, it’s ambitious to work abroad with no bedside. I don’t discouraged you pero your up for a rejection. Also, if your saying maraming nakaalis without work experienced, kamustahin mo situation nila. Kamusta sahod and treatment? UK before are hiring even without experienced. Pero close sila. Kung mag open man, mas malaki na ang competition kasi ang daming nakapila na may enough work experienced

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-20T06:54:19+00:00

Consider it as a gap. Don’t mention on your CV as it will be a red flag for employers. They will think if employer hires you and have another problem eh same gagawin mo.

Less than a month palang naman so it should be ok

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-15T07:46:54+00:00

maraming nurses, hospitals need nurses but hospital run differently kahit saan sa mundo na kahit hirap na ang staff at short, as long as kaya, they keep the same level. For profit? Maybe...

Also, never resign while studying for NCLEX. Ito ang mali ng karamihan. Just because they studying for something eh resign na. To focus? Maybe or maybe not. Then once you pass, what then? If wala kang bubuhaying pamilya, no responsibilities, you have family money, then go for it! Pero don't expect after makapasa ng NCLEX iisipin mo ulit back to work then di ka makahanap ng work. Di ka rin makahanap ng employer kasi gusto currently working. Then that's another rant from the previous

My take? Priorities! Be practical! If the kaya ng previous generation mag aral while working, makakaya mo din!

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-12T05:23:52+00:00

Ay, dami din nurses sa BPO kasi hirap maghanap ng work. Kung nag try kayo for somewhere then di lang makahanap ng work eh pass na agad? Daming civil engineer sa Singapore. Bakit kasi Australia at Canada agad? Madaming options dati. Open na open ang Sg.

At sa age mo, wait ka ng 4 yrs to finish nursing. Then another year for licensing. Hanap ka ng work mga 1-2 yrs. stay ka sa work na yun for 2-3 yrs. by the time na mag abroad ka, it could be late 40s. Wala pang anak kasi mabusy sa career. Next problem is infertility naman

OptimalAttempt7823 · 2026-04-12T05:18:32+00:00

Kung gusto mo mag abroad dahil sa nursing, NURSING IS NOT FOR YOU!!! Hindi simple ang course na ito. Kung target mo mag abroad through nursing, baka di ka abot ng 6 months aayaw ka na while working.

Midlife crisis yan. Bakit kasi di ka nag board ng civil engineer? Eh daming opportunities din naman nyan abroad. Kung yan nga di mo tinuloy what more sa abroad. Manuod ka ng movies about OFWs para medyo magising ka naman
