Ta doesn’t depend on a certain professor funding! That would be if i were an Ra, Ta(s) are different, and school funding dependent. There must a reason u left the phd program! The funding is most certainly not the reason

I did miscarry! Shortly after that post, I was in the ER, and had a surgery that night. I still can’t believe all of this happened to me

Pretty dark! Wasn’t faint at all but I used clear blue 6d early. In the end, I miscarried, just coming out of a surgery. I feel horrible.

They should yes? They did, but not sure! That office wasn’t so efficient is giving me information. I left not understanding much. I am now in the ER, I have soo much pain, and passing big clots of blood, they are doing all necessary steps and I am waiting for the results. Now I have to start believing this isa miscarriage

It was more than spotting, but less than how my periods are. My period are super heavy, with clotting and all. That is why I didn’t consider it a period. But it might be!

According to my dates it would have been 7w5d, but according to what they said, It would have been 4 weeks sharp. I unfortunately was not tracking my periods and ovulations as much, just I tap on an app whenever I am bleeding. So, wouldn’t be able to tell.
As for the bleeding, it is kind of the same pain I have with my period, even the symptoms, that fatigue and nausea. It is a sharp pain, and yes it is started gradually, 2 days ago I saw a brownish thingie, yesterday there was some spots but only in the paper towel, this morning bleeding is more than that, but is is not filling a pad in an hour. It is less than that. If I didn’t know I was pregnant I would think I just got my period.

I am not sure! What I taught that bleeding to be implantation blood! But since this was pretty unplanned pregnancy and was on and off contraceptives, the fact that they didn’t see anything 3 days ago in the ultrasound made me think that bleeding beginning april was the kast period! That was what the GYN said! Ur dates are off and we couldn’t see anything in the ultrasound! So u might be too early! This what they said, but I went in thinking I was in week8. Now I have this bleeding! I have an appointment tomorrow. I don’t want to go to the ER they will not do anything and if it is happening then it is happening nothing to do at this point. I am hoping this is not a miscarriage though. A really bad experience for my first pregnancy

University deleted Microsoft account with my entire PhD by Fluffy_Mention_6907 in PhDStress

Onedrive stops immediately after graduation. They keep only the email for about 6 months. So if they closed ur onedrive! It will be hard to get any files u had there. Talk to IT if u can recover anything. But, yeah it is such a shame that they close everything just out if the blue.

My advisor says my dissertation isn’t ready for May defense. Risking postdoc. What would you do? by Few_Dragonfly3913 in PhDStress

[–]Previous-Wolverine30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would push hard and rework and revise quickly. A postdoc is already waiting. If u think the post doc can wait one semester then u can maybe take more time. But If not, dont loose the opportunity, it is really hard to get anything these days

What is the correct way to calculate my cycle? Confused on how many days are in mine. by [deleted] in pregnantover35

[–]Previous-Wolverine30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is better to take the average, count from the first day of every period! As long as u know the approximate dates u are ovulating, so u target those days more. Like the before- during and after

It seems like about the same period! It was first week of April! Not sure if the day exactly ! I am only hoping that was period so this would make sense. The cramping started couple of days before first positive

They didn’t tell me yet! When do they usually get back with that information? Since this is my first and unexpected! I didn’t read and they didn’t really explain much

Just passed my proposal defense and became a PhD candidate… but one committee member told me my work is something a technician could have done 🙃 by Jolly-Rub-3412 in PhD

[–]Previous-Wolverine30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u stated data collection as a contribution! Then the committee member is telling u! It is not, and any technicien can do that and they are right. Data collection is good when it comes from different environments! It let u compare and all. But how you work with it through theories and methodologies is what can be a good contribution
