Seeing Kanye in an obvious manic episode and everyone yelling at him / treating him like he doesn’t need professional help bums me out. I love Ye but the man is sick. It seems he has no real friends / family who are willing to tell him he needs to go get real help. As a bipolar guy myself I couldnt imagine having it be so public and to get seemingly 0 support from family/friends to get better. Breaks my heart.

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife!

Quick question, I’m starting timed intercourse with medication. I received my ovidrel injextion 4 months ago. It’s been in the fridge. I’m anticipating a potential trigger today or tomorrow (measured today with one 17mm and one 18mm) waiting to hear back on my hormone levels. I assume the fridge was a good call as that’s what the pharmacy reccomended. Should I take it out now? Leave it in till last minute? Thoughts comments?

Did IUI couple of times but failed. Not sure it works , fertility specialists are not that much interested in IUI but directly recommend IVF.

Fellow KPMG, anyone with aetna pos II plan? It seems like you have a 35,000 lifetime maximum.

I also understand that oral drugs such as letrazole are covered under the prescription plan and you only need to enroll and register in the fertility plan if you need IUI and the more rigorous treatments.

Questions:
1. Does the letrazole count towards the 35 lifetime maximum?

Any other advice or insight would be appreciated.
