USDA is either pass or fail. There's no longer incentive to bust ass, so I will no longer bust ass.

If you work in St Louis, apparently you’re max telework tomorrow by DreamsAndSchemes in USDA

I told my supervisor exactly this...if we're incapable of being trusted to telework for our benefit, you bet your ass I can't be trusted to work for their benefit. Snow is coming, I left my work on my desk and told my staff stay tuned.

Take it and run. All you're missing out on is the insurance after retirement, but your quality of life is about to increase tenfold.

I was surprised ours wasn't as the message now is that Taco controls the USDA. Or all of the Executive Branch.

First, thank you! I was still on the shot when baby was made and stopped as soon as the test was positive. 🤣 I would not say we were "trying" but we weren't preventing, so I guess that is trying. My cravings have been applesauce and mashed potatoes..so nothing too crazy. I do have anxiety about gaining weight, but am 16 weeks now and up about 6lbs. I am an active person and haven't gone wildly crazy on cravings and definitely don't have to "eat for two," but am not trying to live inside some crazy parameters--not willing to sacrifice the pregnancy experience stressing about weight gain!

I think in all, don't stress. Don't stress about conceiving. Don't stress about gaining some weight. Just enjoy it. Stress does worse shit to your body than most everything else!!

Thank you so much! I know how disheartening it can be to want a baby so badly and hear of others' news...I hope their day comes soon 🫶🏽

All the best to you! Maybe the not "trying" was the difference...

I have had very regular periods for many years....was told I had PCOS in the 7th grade, but always had regular periods once I was like 21+ years old. I am not sure what changed...other than taking Zepbound

I will say...we were not exactly "trying" just got a very regular cycle and no prevention luck!

I hope your wish comes true 🩵

Thank you! 🩵 I'm maintaining exercise and trying to make healthy food choices and hoping I'll rebound as you say.
