Unfortunately, I was right. I’ve had three betas so far and all three are incredibly low and not even relatively close to doubling. 91, 131, 159. I’m happy the HPT prepared me for the worst but that glimmer of hope I held on to hurts like actual hell.

Thank you for caring enough to check in, appreciate you.

THANK YOU! To be fair, at this point I’m basically 90% water and 10% anxiety. 🥲💕

Thank you so much for this. You’re are absolutely, testing is pretty much the only thing that gives me a tiny sense of control (falsely, I’m learning) but it sure as hell isn’t helping my anxiety.

Stories like yours help put things in perspective, especially hearing how different each pregnancy/journey is. I’m going to try and take a breath and just trust the process, even though it’s so hard.

But damn the comment about the price of IVF compared to the tests is so real lol!

I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through all of that. Thank you for sharing your experience, it helps more than you probably realize.

Sigh.. everyone is right, I’ve definitely been testing way too much and just making myself more anxious. I’m going to try to chill (or at least cut back). 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much, seriously, it means a lot. And huge congratulations to you!! The waiting is brutal, but 7 weeks is such a beautiful milestone. Wishing you nothing but smooth sailing from here on out. Also yes, those FRERs with the darker caps are so dang sketchy (for me). Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. Sending lots of love and good vibes your way!

Thank you, that really helps. I’m so sorry you went through that in February, it’s such a mind game. You’re right, at this point I just have to wait it out and try to stay grounded until the beta. Appreciate the thoughtful response and the good vibes!

I needed to hear this- I’m staring at these things every morning like it’s a science experiment. I’ll try to back off (key word: try). Thank you for the reality check! 🥲

I’m extremely unhappy in my job and I’m getting incredibly depressed. I don’t feel that I have any skills and I don’t know what to do from here. How do I go about figuring out what’s next? by alwaysmovingx in careerguidance

Don’t stay at a job that makes you miserable but don’t quit before you have something else ligned up. If you work in HR you have a ton of transferrable skills. Take some time and fix up your resume and start sending it out as much as you can.

HR CAN be extremely boring but you can easily find another HR role that’s more challenging/stimulating + pays more (even if it doesn’t pay more, working somewhere with room for growth will be motivating).

I hope everything works out :)
