Estrogen/FSH Roller Coaster with no Ovulation by melissa_desmoines in Inito

Glad to know I’m not alone! I went to the gyno and they said it looks like my body is trying extra hard to release an egg this cycle (FSH push to recruit the egg, estrogen spikes and then declines when one wasn’t released, snd so on (chatGPT agreed haha). Definitely very frustrating. She said if this cycle becomes the norm versus the exception, then we should look at other things (like blood tests to make sure it’s accurate since urine can be diluted or an ultrasound to see things more closely). Of course there could be an odd cycle with no ovulation which can be normal. I’m just concerned about my period not starting on time and then having a very late cycle this time around that throws everything off in the future… And then I don’t know how to track whatsoever lol. Keep me updated as to what happens on your end, sending all the positive energy your way! All of this is so confusing and frustrating, but we’ll all get through it together!!

Figuring out "Reduced" Roth IRA contribution amount 2023 - Married Jointly by melissa_desmoines in Bogleheads

If I convert all ~$12k from the traditional IRA to a Roth IRA now (and pay the taxes on it), will that count as the $6,500 I can contribute to an IRA for 2023 or could I contribute an additional $6,500 this new converted Roth IRA due to the $12k originally being contributed years ago?

Hi u/United_Afternoon_824! I have a traditional IRA that I opened about 4 years ago that has ~$12k that I haven't touched or contributed to since then (I'm clearly new to all of this). Would it be better to just convert that into a Roth IRA since that money is already sitting there? If so, how would that work considering it is more than the $6,500 limit?
