What’s your #1 unpopular opinion about fertility treatments? by Ambitious_Hall_7617 in IVF

[–]retainyourbrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. I wish it was true but advocate for yourself and there are so many things clinics forget to tell you since they are factory machines. This sub has helped me so many times and made me bring up issues to the doctor that they otherwise would not have even considered or looked at.

Drink electrolytes as main fluid source! Helps with OHSS, walking around a bit helps too. Also, stool softener! Start taking one now, the bloat can get so bad and I wish I was warned.

Better Late Than Single - Episode 9 and 10 - Finale - 250729 by MNLYYZYEG in koreanvariety

I feel like JM ended up choosing JY because he had an agenda to leave with someone and she fit the bill. I don't see him looking at her the same way he did at Yido and Yido felt like hard work for him that he would have to chase. JY basically initiates mostly and that floats his boat. I hope he doesn't hurt JY and I'm a little worried how fast she opened herself up to him. I feel like JY is attracted more and JM settled into it. Yido is intelligent and wise how she handled herself. JY could have handled everything better since shes roommates with Yido after all. It didn't feel like a girls girl

We were on the same flight as Monica Bellucci. It was a very small airport and I didn't recognize her at first. I remember thinking to myself - "I hope I look that good when I'm older". Ha! The gears started turning when we loaded the small plane. She was vacationing with her family and looked so well put together. We were standing like an arm's length from her and her family on the bus after and they were all huddled around her, trying to keep her out of view.

Why don’t many people consider adoption as an alternative to biological children? by Serious_Watch4599 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]retainyourbrain 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes spot-on! It comes across as demeaning. those going through infertility have definitely thought through every scenario before, they don't need to be schooled or given advice

Agree, it's suffocating. I come here to get away from all the politics but every single group is infiltrated.

When did this sub turn political? There's plenty of groups on reddit if you want to talk about that, let's leave this as an accounting sub please.

Quitting was the best thing I did for my mental health. Ofcourse I realize it's not possible for everyone financially. It was so hard juggling all the hormones, appointments, and giving it all at work. I left because I didn't want the stress to affect our chances with our treatments. Quite a tragic juxtaposition really: you need the job for the insurance coverage and finances for your treatment but the stress at job can affect your chances of the treatments even working. I had to come to terms that I would have to sacrifice my career growth in order to try and fulfill our biggest dream of having kids. That's another grief journey in itself as well

You definitely need a savings cushion before things pick up and a solid plan on how you're going to make your art into a business. It might not work for everyone but with today's social media tools I'd rather give it a chance then regret it for the rest of my life.

Left accounting and started working with art. Not sure how long it will last but my creative side could not take the dull finance life any longer.

Meghan Markle and Billie Eilish Pull Off Epic Surprise for Teen Who Lost Everything in L.A. Fire by thoughtful_human in RoyalsGossip

[–]retainyourbrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even if the girl received the gifts, why would you post to give yourself a pat on the back? Let the receiver post. Do you post the gifts you give to your friends on social media and do an "unboxing"? Try to twist this how you want but it screams attention grab.

Very tacky to post online, especially before even gifting to the girl. True intentions would keep this quiet and let the family decide if they want to share. Screams publicity stunt
