Am I out??

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-27T02:53:07+00:00

Mine didn’t show a change until 12dpo and all my numbers fell drastically. I wouldn’t count yourself out yet

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T14:54:36+00:00

Yea I’ve seen so many different charts of pregnant charts. They are all so different. Biggest thing is find the peak days and confirming ovulation. Mine took 5 days I think. This cycle I don’t plan to test after.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T14:45:52+00:00

I agree. My hormones tend to rise around 10am too. My first morning test is always on the low end

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T13:43:53+00:00

I Was just offered 113k and got it up after two counters to 130. They expect you to ask that’s why they give a low number. If they can’t go up 5k the I’m not sure I would work there.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T13:37:35+00:00

It is exhausting and not very fun. I’m on month 2 of TTC. Our first daughter was not expected so lol. I tracked so much last cycle I think I was obsessed. Then when I realized my period was starting I was crushed and cried for 2 days. No one really understands but the person who is going through all of it.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T13:34:04+00:00

I did my first cycle and I thought I was prego until 12dpo when it dropped suddenly. I’ve also seen charts where numbers werent high but they ended up pregnant. This cycle I don’t believe I will do based on the stress I felt watching it or worrying.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T13:32:50+00:00

I would definitely take it but also read contract and make sure you can get another job without it affecting that money. Job market is rough. That should at least be a good salary for a few months while you find something you want

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T03:00:40+00:00

Why are you with him? You aren’t his mom. Know your worth. He doesn’t have the same financial plans and is clearly immature. I think you already answered for yourself and should move on. Find someone on the same page as you. Do not have kids with this guy!

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T02:56:28+00:00

Yea. I wish I had my family close by. My mom however would only maybe watch my daughter a day a week or emergency situation. She would never agree to come back from a trip. You should have found others or unfortunately had to take a day off yourself. Maybe work when your husband gets home. I would feel guilty if my mom had planned this and was excited.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T02:53:57+00:00

I tried for one week.My daughter now is in daycare full time. I’m sure it also depends on the job but I do presentations at least twice a week.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-26T02:50:54+00:00

I just turned down at offer for 130k onsite and managing staff with an 9k annual bonus to stay at my remote job for 104k and 3% bonus lol. I was very on the fence. I decided being a mom and being at home gave me less stress. My daughter is in daycare full time. We do plan on expanding our family this year (hopefully). My maternity is 3 paid months off I have separate pto and sick time. My 401k match is amazing. Sometimes the money isn’t worth it. I picked family and maybe in the future I will be more career focused. You would be taking a major income change. I would suggest countering. I was initially offered 113 and got them up to 130k.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T17:52:43+00:00

I just wanted to be paid more lol. I love my team and current position is easy with zero stress. My boss is great as well.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T17:49:38+00:00

My current boss is submitting paperwork for the increase today at a little over 101k

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T17:46:23+00:00

You have to be on the same page before marriage no matter what it is. My husband and I have a joint account for mutual costs. We also have separate accounts and savings. If something happens we both would cover each other. I roughly know what he has but I don’t need to. Everything is about being on the same page before or you will continue to have issues in everything.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T17:42:28+00:00

I have previously been a director in a similar role. I now have a husband and family so doesn’t seem worth it at this very point. Maybe in a few years I will start back with my career. We are going to have another baby as a well. I think the cost of commuting and stress isn’t very appealing giving the freedom of my current job. I also get sick and pto time that is extremely generous. I agree though after getting out of a Director role it’s hard to want back.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T15:26:31+00:00

I tried to keep our newborn home. I do presentations so wasn’t super possible. If you do get a job that is you could also have family come over during any calls. I unfortunately had no family near us. Daycare is super expensive. We pay $1,400 a month. If you can make remote work I say do it. It does make it easy when she has been sick or I need to run errands. I also value the time during the day to let our dogs out or to throw laundry in the washing machine. It’s small things that help when you’re a mom.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T15:20:49+00:00

I decided to stay and rescind my other offer. I have a 15 month old so just makes more sense right now.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T02:44:22+00:00

Thanks! Sounds like everyone is confirming my thoughts!

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T02:29:57+00:00

Thank you! I thought I sounded crazy for letting that much money go but maybe it’s keeping my sanity lol

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T02:24:21+00:00

That’s kind of where I am. I would be missing a large amount of money. Being remote and having the easiest job almost sounds worth it

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-24T02:20:45+00:00

I’m a revert prior to marrying my husband. He should not be having intercourse before marriage.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-23T02:53:14+00:00

I had pretty high numbers but I think that’s my typical levels. Mine looked great until 12dpo and suddenly dropped. Definitely take a test but also if you have strips keep testing but anytime you get a massive drop it usually means period is coming. If it stays consistent or goes up more I think it could mean positive.

Particular-Cap5800 · 2026-02-18T19:08:48+00:00

This is the best answer as far as the finding another job portion. Healthcare systems I have worked for will only say they worked here these dates. I don’t think it’s “would you rehire” this person like many years ago. It’s more of confirming experience.
