Had a MMC in June and have been trying to conceive since then with no luck. I just turned 38 and so sad thinking it might never happen. I got my period yesterday after being late for a few days so I’m very frustrated. Any success stories that can give me some hope? 🙏

I’m sorry for your loss. I’d push for testing. They are often resistant after only one loss but given that time is of the essence I would go straight to a fertility clinic / REI. I’ve had 4 losses and they’ve never been able to tell me why but without any real scientific explanation IUI did work. They can see so much via bloodwork and will likely be able to help you conceive and sustain pregnancy

I had a MMC last Dec and had no luck since then either. Unexplained infertility bc all test results came back fine. It's definitely made me question my life.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

Does Next Gen issue a formal report for PGS testing results? I had my embryos tested and my clinic just told me which were normal and abnormal. No other info on embryos ratings, etc. they could have not even sent it in for all I know!
Also, how involved are you REs? I’ve been through 2 retrievals now, but feel kinda in the dark still on a lot of things. Some of the nurses are hit or miss and if I want to talk to my doctor I have to schedule a consultation and its typically a 2 week wait.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment.

I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon.

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
