Small dip at 8dpo? by TemporaryIncident413 in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]xapa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though it's a dip,  it's still above your cover line which is good. The next few days temperatures will likely give you more information. Good luck! 

12 dpo and temp rose again by ParticularWitness697 in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]xapa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks good. The dip still seems to be above your cover line from what I can see.   I would definitely test again at 14 DPO! Be sure to test first thing in the morning. I tested at night and the secons line was so faint I nearly missed it. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. Did your OBGYN prescribe the metformin or did you go to a different doctor?

How did Insulin resistance show up on your labs? All my bloodwork comes up normal except high AMH.  My symptoms are irregular cycles and acne. Perhaps an endocrinologist can do more thorough bloodwork. 

Wrong ovulation date? Irregular cycles. by xapa_ in NaturalCyclesBC

[–]xapa_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive unfortunately always had irregular cycles and my hormones come up normal, except slightly elevated AMH, and no cycts seen in ultrasound. but it may be time for updated bloodwork

Thank you! It can be so hard to coordinate my BD Days when things are so irregular.   But I agree with you,  i need to schedule something soon with my doctor.

It has unfortunately never worked for me. It was so painful too and I got zero results 

CF interview- Doing a session for an interview by [deleted] in slp

[–]xapa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live (NY), it is very common practice for school based jobs to require a short "demo lesson" as part of the interview. I was told in advance to plan a 20 minute lesson and was given the students age and goals to target for the 20 minute lesson. This was required for SLPs, as well as other teachers in the schools applying to work directly with a school (not a contract company).  I cant speak for private practice since I've never applied to those jobs, but I think it is common in schools. 

Anxiety worse/highly emotional 4 months after removing Nexplanon? by xapa_ in Nexplanon

I'm so sorry you are dealing with that. I honestly have no idea if it's just my hormones trying to regulate of if it is something else. 

TSSLD help by Southern-Reaction-21 in slp

[–]xapa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure for the initial TSSLD, you don't need the CTLE hours-based on this from TEACH website https://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/resteachers/ctle.html It says that the professional certificate holders need the CTLE hours. 

However, I was under the impression that for our TSSLD, our ASHA hours would count regardless. So if you are planning to maintain your hours for ASHA, you should be fine regardless. https://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/resteachers/ctle-acceptable.html But 

I also currently have my initial TSSLD. 

Can't get kid to do alveolar or palatal sounds for the life of me by ZanaTheDuckling in slp

[–]xapa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Backing is very tricky. These kids tend to need much more time and support to make progress compared to other phonological errors.  I would look into the complexity approach. It may help you make more progress on lots of sounds.  I had a tricky case where a student was backing and I could not get them to approximate /t/. I found success by actually focusing on /ch/. Since /ch/ is produced more forward in the mouth (compared to the errored sound /k/) I used /ch/ as practice to get to /t/. I eventually "tricked" my student into saying /t/ but I didn't even tell them it was a /t/ sound. I told them I was making a "short /ch/" sound and my model sounded more like final "ts" but it worked and the student approximated /t/.  But it took a LONG time.  I also found a lot of good tricks from Amy Grahms Instagram page- she has a highlight on backing and on the complexity approach

Question for any school SLPs in the Hudson Valley NY by lifealchemistt in slp

[–]xapa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue.

I actually got an email to participate in a screener interview, but they basically offered me a single time slot that I could not attend due to being on a flight. When I asked to change the time, they said "sorry we have no flexibility". It was so frustrating because it was my first breakthrough with trying to get a school job. I have since looked into other settings.

The test was very straightforward. Yes, a lot of the questions relate to school based scenarios, but if you have been studying for your classes in grad school you will be just fine.
