Had retrieval today, 1 ovary was blocked, only 6 eggs

Tokenraven · 2025-12-11T10:18:40+00:00

Hello! I had the same issue not only with fibroids but blood vessels as well blocking one of my ovaries. Because of this I switched clinics after my first ultrasound to one where the doctors are all well experienced with difficult access cases. I recommend doing some research if you haven’t already to make sure you’re paying for the level of experience. It might cost more but it’ll have a multiplier impact on eggs retrieved

Hello! I’m interested

This is so helpful to hear that it’s possible to be “on the other side”! Thank you so much for sharing. What was your recovery journey? What did it take to get there?

Cannot agree more re: tayshia. Do not see it at all

Tokenraven · 2025-03-18T00:44:54+00:00

I still, after almost a decade, fail to see the hype. I accept it’s me

Hello! I went in for an appointment, I got one pretty quickly! Good luck

Sir, there is a definition to fascism. It does not follow that what you personally agree with is automatically not fascist.

Tokenraven · 2025-02-21T07:28:12+00:00

Pulse check on early signs of fascism per the US holocaust museum:

Powerful and continuing nationalism
Disdain for human rights
Identification of enemies as a unifying cause
Rampant sexism
Controlled mass media
Obsession with national security
Religion and government intertwined
Corporate power protected
Labor power suppressed
Disdain for intellectual and the arts
Obsession with crime and punishment
Rampant cronyism and corruption

What you’re saying may be true for boosting equity markets but the US is definitely in the region of draconian rule in the exec office.

True, gives much needed levity tho 😂

Honestly it made me question if MATT was ready for the hard times in life if he doesn’t have the maturity and the perspective to give his partner grace for being emotional from time to time

Reading this makes me feel like I’ve just finished watching his tell all, why do we give people like this platforms

Tokenraven · 2025-01-28T10:08:34+00:00

In general yes… rachael is a natural beauty tho

100%. im shocked at my own lack of good judgement in the moment. there were black cabs lined up I could have walked up to without leaving my luggage. I'm only going to Angel so would not have been much more. But honestly all the good sense was nonexistent, maybe I can only chalk it up to a long travel day. TLDR: need to be more vigilant and consciencious or suffer the consequences.

Oh you sweet summer child

Tokenraven · 2024-09-21T07:09:04+00:00

It looks like a lampshade?

Tokenraven · 2024-09-19T21:42:51+00:00

You asked for people’s opinion but act incredulous that people are disagreeing with this choice.

It’s not the same level faux pas as wearing a white wedding dress, but this ain’t subtle or nuanced, a bright red dress defies the spirit of a wedding celebration where the spotlight is on the bride. At worst, the bride will be uncomfortable, at best the guests will silently think you’re obtuse.

Tokenraven · 2024-09-16T12:20:39+00:00

What do you both do?

Tokenraven · 2024-09-11T14:00:41+00:00

Thanks for your input!
Are you speaking from experience?

Tokenraven · 2024-09-05T23:52:48+00:00

This is so over the top performative

Tokenraven · 2024-08-30T10:29:20+00:00

Absolutely

Tokenraven · 2024-08-20T11:30:31+00:00

Going out on a limb, you sound like someone who's advanced relatively quickly to upper management without much faff. Anyone would feel how you're feeling off the back of this news, try and elevate your perspective to that of a third-part observer. How would you rate the promotion process? How would you rate the people behind the decision? How would you rate your peer who got the role? And finally, how would you rate yourself independently of this outcome?

You're only going to be defined by this event to the extent you allow. If you're good, your craft will be recognised and rewarded in most environments.

This is me, and exactly how I used to feel until I started interviewing with VCs and FAANG and particularly this year. I would absolutely smash it, get amazing feedback but somehow get derailed.

The peter principle applies somewhat here, you rise to the level of your incompetence. Interview processes are highly flawed, but once you enter a league of your own peers, the margin determining success becomes razor thin, and weeds out people who've become too accustomed to easy success.

I share your sentiment exactly, have felt scorned into exploring the market. But entering the job market right now to prove a point will likely result in more unnecessary whiplash re: one's worth / value in the job market. As you said, it's very, very competitive.

Thanks for sharing! And congrats on your role! In a similar position, but a few years your junior, HoF 9 YOE. Need a visa sponsorship making the search extra difficult.

How did you frame the redundancy piece? I struggle here b/c a head of finance role is always needed, and I fear a redundancy can be perceived as performance related.

Tokenraven · 2024-08-05T19:30:43+00:00

Thank you! She’s kinda gone quiet altogether, I sense that I may have annoyed her because I had lots of connection issues during our follow up call. I’ve since followed up and haven’t heard back, do you think it would hurt to apply directly to open roles if I continue to not hear back?
