Employer is forcing our hand to go into to office next week. Taking several trains to reach there is making me really uncomfortable with this. We have been working doubly hard, longer hours from home, and I don’t want to put my health at risk for a company that most likely doesn’t care. How to navigate?

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

I’m not sure if this is the right place but has anyone used a life coach before? I am feeling really run down and behind. I really could use real advice on managing work, health, etc. especially because I’d like to start a family in the next year or so.

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.

Ok keto crew. Keto is all well and good in the week & can make it fit my life well, but I struggle so bad at the weekends going out. Do you all really not drink? If you do, what do you have?

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

First day on sertraline (/Zoloft). Dr said might feel nauseous and agitated. Was OK most of the day but now I’m in bed I’m feeling restless, tired, and a bit short of breath. I think this is normal and need to stick it out for a week… can anyone else relate or share their experience starting medication for the first time? Thank you

I’m starting to looking into freezing my eggs. 1. Is it possible to store your eggs in multiple facilities; I’ve been reading a few cases of centers having having accidents and material being destroyed. 2. Does anyone have any recommendations for egg freezing facilities in Chicago?

Giving away 4 vials of menopur (EXP 06/2023) and 4 crinone progesterone gel 8% (EXP 05/2024). Unused. Please you need it, please DM me. You only need to pick them up or pay for shipping! Based in Boston.

Feeling a bit down today. Yet another friend just told me she is pregnant — not a complete surprise, I suspected when I saw her on a prior socially-distanced outing. But still frustrated at myself. I’ve had multiple egg retrievals and have already had two cancelled transfers due to issues with my lining each time. Just feels like everyone around me is getting pregnant while for me, it’s still issue after issue popping up. Also reminded of the fact that I had a miscarriage a year ago this time.

Post egg retrieval, and my doctor says my thyroid levels are a bit high for what he wants to see for FET, so he has me on medicine to lower it before it’s time for FET. Has anyone else experienced this? Was it caused by all the IVF shots? Will this be a long term issue?

Recommendations for fertility clinics / doctors in Princeton, New Jersey area?

Wife (29) and I (27) have been trying for just 2 months. She has PCOS. Does anyone have experience seeing a fertility specialist prior to a year of trying? Would it be worth doing sooner rather than later given the PCOS?

Looking for some advice from fellow fishes here. How important do you all think it is to have a second baby ? We have a 2 year old now and we are trying for our 2nd. We have been trying for over a year now and started fertility treatment recently. I am not looking forward to IUI, IVF etc especially since we don’t have any much help and my husband and I both have full time jobs. Is it a deal breaker for our kid not to have a sibling ? Is it going to be worth the pain to go through fertility?

I suspect the answer is no, but has anyone’s clinic given any sense of when they’ll reopen?

Does anyone have any ovulation trackers they recommend for PCOS? Curious to hear experiences with basal temp checks for ovulation, apps, etc. that people have used and found easy and successful.

I am heading into IVF and the clinic made us sign a document saying if one of us is tested positive for COVID, the whole procedure will be canceled. The testing must be performed at their site. My husband’s mom has been organizing a big family trip for two months. I already excused myself from that trip. But I am very worried my husband my get covid from this trip. His mom has a lot of friends who don’t believe in Covid, and she volunteers at a 2nd hand store. What would you do if you were me

My sister in India is struggling with IVF. What would the process be to donate an egg to her over there or get them her in the USA to do it ? Thanks a lot . Also if you know of great fertility clinics in India please recommend !
