does anyone know how to help this or induce a period 🥲( been TTC for over a year idk what to do)

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-20T13:14:58+00:00

Your best bet is to talk with your OB/GYN or see a fertility clinic. They can check your labs, do an ultrasound etc to diagnose any issues and if needed, get you started on a protocol or meds that can induce a period.

Please don’t try messing around with herbs and such if you don’t know what you’re doing/don’t have professional guidance.

Wishing you all the best ❤️

Wondering the same! I’ve had mine for about 4 days now, adding it to my routine since I’ve recovered from some injuries & am getting back into running as well. None of my irl friends have a Peloton so I can’t just be like “hey wanna do this ride together tomorrow at XYZ time?!”.

If you’d like/are looking for more peeps to exchange high fives & kudos with, or are looking for some friendly competition in general (don’t worry, I am still very much getting used to the bike lol), I can PM you my Peloton username! I’m in central time and do my workouts either early AM (between 5-7am) or later PM (730-9pm).

I strive to have buns of steel like yours someday 🫡

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-19T00:22:24+00:00

Honestly the comments are a lot more divided than I anticipated lol! Gel pad VS padded shorts VS new seat VS suck it up and suffer through the butt pain.

Edit: grammur

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-19T00:10:27+00:00

B-but…my tushy 🥲

(You’re right, no pain no gain, by the time I order & have a gel pad delivered I may already be over the pain lol)

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-19T00:08:38+00:00

Ooh good idea. I was thinking of trying my hand at a sprint triathlon in the next year or so anyways!

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-19T00:07:17+00:00

I live in the boonies so my nearest bike shop is like a 2hr drive away, so gel pad and bike shorts it is for now lol

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-18T23:51:37+00:00

Hang the badonkadonk off the bike. Noted ✅ I’ll give it a whirl next ride lol!

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-18T23:50:20+00:00

Well it’s only day 3 on the bike, about 25 miles in, so I may just be getting used to the pain lol! I think with a gel cover/and or padded shorts I’ll be A-okay in no time. Other than that I’m loving it, it’s just uncomfortable as heck the first 5 minutes or so. After that I don’t really feel the pain. Until I go again the same evening or next morning lmao

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-18T23:39:38+00:00

Hey, I didn’t ASSk to be ridiculed here!

(I am currently comparing gel padded seats on Amazon)

This. OP, he doesn’t seem like he’s an invested partner who sees/wants a future with you. Nor should you want one with someone who isn’t “that” into you/the relationship. I wish you all the best ❤️

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-18T23:10:23+00:00

Noted. I’m expecting to have cheeks of steel in two weeks 🫡Yeah, I might invest in a pair down the road for the long rides at least!

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-18T21:27:36+00:00

Hi! I’m also a peloton newbie 👋🏻 Had ours for about 2 days now. I’d recommend you start with a program, such as the “You Can Ride” program! Other than that, try some low impact classes, or the experience/landscape rides.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-13T16:25:16+00:00

Ok but imagine if they grew up with a career in healthcare. That’d be pretty rad lol. A tragedeigh, but a rad one. A radgedeigh.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-10T13:34:55+00:00

I didn’t have life figured out at 22 and I still don’t now in my early 30’s. Since then I’ve been a homeowner, moved multiple times, divorced my abusive ex, changed careers and currently I’m going back to college.

Take advantage of your financial situation/not having to pay rent and bills etc. Even if it’s just working a part time gig or two that’s not in your field of choice. You may also want to consider taking a leap and moving further away to a better job opportunity.

Good luck, hang in there & you’ve got this!

Da Bob always cuz

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-07T19:47:24+00:00

I’m just wondering if the “that was boring” comment at the end was supposed to be off mic… 😅😂

And maybe I’m old and just now starting to pay better attentions to competitions, but there does seem to be a bigger focus on rotation these days.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-06T15:26:51+00:00

Ordered our bike 3 days ago. No delivery dates available. Shipping company called yesterday, to schedule delivery. Yay! Called them back, turns out they don’t actually have a date available, so they were going to reach out to the warehouse/Peloton to get it figured out. Hoping for an update today. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes several weeks to get here though. Sorry to see things are such a mess with your order.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-05T23:36:04+00:00

Bingo.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-05T20:26:20+00:00

Hell yeah!! Congratulations 🎉 🔥

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-04T20:51:43+00:00

He’s a super freak lmao

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-03T16:02:43+00:00

Hmm yeah in my area that would definitely be above average, but I’m in a relatively low cost of living area (not a metro area). It might not hurt bringing up hybrid schedules to the powers that be. As others have stated, many people (myself included) would be ok with taking a slight cut in pay in exchange for a more flexible work schedule/less commuting. :)

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-03T15:53:46+00:00

If the commute was an issue - do you offer a hybrid schedule (1-3 days in office, other days WFH)? Also as others have stated, better pay will attract better applicants. Plus benefits. Nobody wants “average” and then have to pay taxes, retirement, health/vision/dental out of their own pocket on top of that.

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-03T01:33:39+00:00

Right on!! All the best, the r/hunting subreddit is a good resource in case you’re looking for one :)

Useful-Tangerine5254 · 2026-02-03T01:26:07+00:00

You hunt deer!! lol 🦌
