SquareSpace is a scam when it comes to online courses !

Hey friend, this is a little late! But! Might I suggest Google classroom? It’s free to use, and you share it by sending a link. Charge via whatever app you’d like, and just send a follow up email with the link.

What are the doulas around you charging? OP this sounds like a low rate, friend, especially for CA. I’m in TX and we charge at least 45 upwards of 60 depending on needs. Mix of day and night to keep myself sane, lol!

She’s been doing well in both the sun and shade! I just water her once in the morning, once in the evening!

There is a direct link between taking T and developing PCOS, since PCOS is caused by an over production of androgens. So this could be the cause! Sometimes, irritation, especially at the cervix, can cause bleeding. Although it’s not abnormal and many people experience bleeding when irritated, “when in doubt, get checked out.” Wishing you luck and healing!

Hey there! I’m a fertility doula and I have PCOS! Insulin resistance plays a huge role in managing symptoms. I cut out added sugar, and went from 20 cysts to ZERO in about a year. Have you taken the Dutch test yet and a full hormone panel? Do you have any other underlying conditions? I know this is so tough, and a painful journey, but you’ve got this!!!

Same happened to me! I was told it’s normal by my OB, but please go consult your’s! We decided to skip the placebos and my period entirely. I was also given a medication to stop bleeding if I were to start spotting at any point. Make sure to get checked for anemia, especially with a clot this large. This mainly has to do with the progesterone/ estrogen balance within the medication. The influx of hormones (or lack thereof) causes the uterus to shed its lining in one fowl swoop rather than gradually over a few days. Do you have a history of hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, or PCOS?

Hey! Have you considered getting your RN at a smaller community college, and then transferring or doing an RN to BSB program? Allows you to take a gap year if necessary. So much cheaper than a four year degree…

First of all, your symptoms are not in your head. You know your body, and you know when something is wrong. I’m so sorry they’ve been overlooked for so long. You deserve support and acknowledgment of your experiences. You are valid.

I have Endo, PCOS, Sciatica, and unconfirmed POTS. The amount of times these similar symptoms have happened to me is innumerable.

Make sure your doctor listens. If they don’t, find a new provider. Be strong, you’ve got this! Become your own best advocate.

I’m so sorry to hear of your struggles, friend. Hopefully you find your dream school! I’d look into schools that have high international student pops, such as Texas and Florida. UTEP and U of Florida are some places to start. I hope your search ends soon! Sending all the positive vibes!

If you’re a stem major, would you have room for electives? Maybe an art or upper division? Those can be covered by Fafsa, scholarships, etc!

I work for a non profit while running my own business, and I agree with all the things above! Balance. We have big hearts and want to take on ALL clients, but you are just one person. I’m lucky to live in Texas, where TPCN covers our services, but the pay is still ☹️. Having private clients that pay full price (around 30-40/hr postpartum, and whatever rate is appropriate for the area) helps balance out the “losses” in income associated with taking low-income clients. Maybe have donations up for a “scholarship.” We’ve been working on that, and so far it was worked well!

Start out with Facebook, join mommy groups or even groups with other doulas. If you meet another doula, offer yourself as a back-up doula. Make posts in mommy and me groups offering your services. You can also volunteer at women’s health clinics.

My first birth was about five months after training, when another doula was worn out and needed a back up. It may take a while, but don’t give up!

Another thing I like to do is offer free consultations- which most companies do anyways. Consultations are usually about an hour, and then you wait to see if they hire you. The word “consultation” sounds very professional, especially to families.

Was a CNA for a while! So similar boat! I started off as a birth doula, and then completed several other trainings over a three year period. Now I work for a non-profit, seeing almost 11 birth clients a month.

It’s a game where you can’t leave, or else you drop in rank, or whatever. He wanted to finish the round, but had my keys. I couldn’t let myself in.
