I’m an IVF Doctor. Business Is Booming Because Ob-Gyns Aren’t Doing Their Jobs.
Just last Monday, a woman sat across from me in my office and asked a question I have come to dread. Why had no one told her? She is 33, a therapist, married three years, and she has been to her gynecologist every year since high school. She was also on the brink of perimenopause.
She had assumed that when she was ready, her body would be too. No one in two decades of annual visits had ever explained that the most consequential decisions about her capacity to bear children were being made by her ovaries on a calendar she could not see, while her doctor took her blood pressure and refilled her birth control.
She is the patient I see several times a month. She is the most preventable tragedy in American medicine.

A condition that impacts millions of women is getting a new name.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, a reproductive hormone imbalance, will now be known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS for short.

I really dislike when people who do not listen to podcasts or shows assume untrue things. Dave Ramsey maintains debt should not impact marital decisions *across the board* as long as you are aligned on paying it off and maintaining no debt throughout the marriage.
The essence of the Girldad phenomenon.
Ramsey usually gives tough (and warranted) advice to people with debt problems. But when a guy makes the same demands on his gf, Ramsey goes full girldad and rips into the guy for having sensible standards.
This says debt is only a guy’s problem. A girl is fine to have massive amounts of it and no serious plan to pay it off. It’s a MAN’s job to take care of it
The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
made a new SAHM friend who sends out a weekly "loose plan" of park playtime, coffee runs, yoga classes, etc to her mom group with open invites to join
this is the energy I want to see spreading across the nation
Every once in a while I return to this evergreen quote from John Piper:
"Occasionally, weep deeply over the life that you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Feel the pain. Then wash your face, trust God, and embrace the life that he’s given you."
