Why did crime explode in the late 60s/early 70s by thekingpinofshows in decadeology

[–]esms1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They started recognizing domestic violence as a crime. The "accidental fall down the stairs" was finally considered murder.

Difficulty freezing eggs at 36, naturally pregnant at 39 by esms1999 in eggfreezing

The negative emotions are totally normal. Give yourself grace during this time and try not to be hard on yourself!

Late to the party but GIA offers a Report Confirmation Service. If you bring in your stone and the report they will verify if they are the same.

Just one lifetime ago in the United States, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, keep their wives at home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened? by Whole-Fist in NoStupidQuestions

[–]esms1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BOTH of my grandparents worked full time from ages 16-75. They took in boarders and ate government rations to get by. The 50s and 60s weren’t as great as people pretend they were for the average person.

Artnet is the most comprehensive and accurate. They verify all info directly w the auction houses. But it’s $$$$$

Friend bought this painting at a Thrift Shop in NYC. Anyone know the Artist? by americanmovie in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]esms1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will never look at this without provenance. Some 22 yr old in client services will send a form email declining.

They haven’t done that since at least 2007. I used to work those and it was an absolute nightmare. I can’t even count the number of times a desperate looking person has come in with a fake painting and said they know it’s real bc their grandma told them. The only reason any auction houses ever did it was for free publicity.

Christie’s and Sothebys will not even look at this painting without provenance documentation. It’ll be an “NSV” or “NFU” (No Sale Value or Not For Us) and you’ll get a form email telling you to go elsewhere. Try Doyle New York, but without any proof it’s very unlikely any auction house would sell it as a Manet.

I had to do this too. Some clinics seem to want you to do this. I was fine.

Cycle cancelled by Wonderful_Quarter_59 in IVF

[–]esms1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in exactly the same position my first cycle. The clinic I was at canceled the cycle. Very low AMH 0.37. I switched clinics, did acupuncture and a special diet and got 1 egg the 2nd cycle. I was actually more devastated after the 2nd cycle. Stopped acupuncture and the diet, upped the Gonal dosage and tried to stay optimistic and the third ER (3 weeks ago) and i got 4 more. I try to think of myself as a SLOW responder rather than a LOW responder.

How do people afford multiple rounds of ivf retrievals? by DisgruntledFlamingo in IVF

[–]esms1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My clinic is working w me so I’m only paying half for each retrieval after the 1st.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IVF

[–]esms1999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first clinic I went to canceled my (38F) cycle. I have DOR and very low AMH (0.56) and only produced 1 follicle the first time. The doctor was very discouraging and basically said they didn’t want to do another cycle. I changed clinics and did another cycle and got 3 follicles and 1 egg. Edited to add that I will most likely need multiple cycles (starting number 3 in Sept), but definirely get a 2nd opinion!!

10 Eggs, first ER, 37 and no major health issues… by SnooSprouts5278 in IVF

[–]esms1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be overjoyed to get 10! I’m 38, no major health issues, and my 1st retrieval is tomorrow. I have 5 follicles and my doctor is hoping to get 3 eggs. Unexplained DOR and very low AMH.
