Has anyone’s medical provider prescribed femera? I have well documented PCOS and my GYN said I don’t need to wait 12 months for intervention because I have 16 years of documented menstrual irregularities. I just got off my birth control in December. We want TTC starting in my next cycle. Just wanted to hear peoples experience with femera. My whole life I’ve been told it will be a struggle

Got pregnant through Letrazole + Ovidrel IUI and my doctor has me on estrogen 2mg 3 times a day and progesterone 200mg 2 times a day. I’m week 7 and already am or feel huge. I’m so paranoid these hormones are making me gain so much unnecessary weight in my first trimester. I’ve been eating the same and literally none of my pants fit. Will my body readjust when I finally hit week 10 and can hopefully be off both hormones? Any advice here?

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

I am 6 weeks pregnant in a stressful job and it is making everything harder. Normally I handle it all well, but now I feel like a total space case, get stressed out more easily, and get so sick to my stomach and tired. This is after nearly a year of fertility treatments which as you know, are also incredibly stressful. How have you coped?

Good Morning! I have an employee who’s been with us 6 weeks. Training process usually is about 8-12 weeks to be fully up to speed. This employee has already called off sick 4 days since start date. I have an am meeting block and came into 6 messages asking if this person would be working this weekend as planned, so I asked what the plan was from them. Immediate response was that I am abrasive and don’t make them feel valued. Keep in mind nothing medical was disclosed prior. What should I do?

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.

SO beyond frustrated with my work environment I think it may be time to leave for good. I returned from maternity leave after 4 years of working at my very old-school, boys club, nepotism-friendly company. The number of remarks I got on my appearance, my pregnancy and etc was a little annoying before I left, but since I've come back it's been nothing but comments on how they can't believe I'm leaving my husband home with the baby etc. Sorry for the long post just needed to vent!!

Any hospital hiring for acute care/inpatient physical therapist?

Anyone have a gym bag they travel with? Looking for some recs! Ideally something that has enough room for two pairs of shoes (lifting and gym shoes), accessories, and supplements. Durable for travel.

For those of you at your goal weight/peak physical health- what are some of the benefits you’ve experienced aside from aesthetics? For background, I’ve gained 20 lbs this year and I can *feel* the difference and it’s not pretty. For example, I now have acid reflux which I’ve never had before 🙃. So I’m wondering if there’s other benefits I never even considered! I would love to hear some inspiration about other end of the spectrum as I begin this lifestyle change to lose weight.

How do you handle it when your kid can’t go to school/daycare? Daycare options in my area are extremely limited, and the one are in is pretty good. They are very strict about kids not being there when they are sick, which I appreciate and mostly agree with. Except that the rules are along the lines of if your kid has a temperature over 100, they cannot come in until they’ve been under 100 for 72 hours. According to every doctor I’ve spoke to, 100 isn’t even considered a fever. (See rest below)

Any tips on faster recovery after egg retrieval? Had egg retrieval today and am sore all over my pelvic area. I was riding subway on my way back from the hospital and for a min I started to sweat, feeling week and thought I’d faint. I regretted not taking a cab:) But overall I’m not in pain just feeling sore, especially when I move. Were you able to go back to work the next day?

Anyone have a successful baby after first IUI or first IVF?

Hi, any virgins froze their eggs? Is it painful?

Did my first egg retrieval today. In so much pain. Feeling discouraged because they counted 30 eggs during monitoring but only retrieved 13. Really sad and disappointed. I've already had 6 failed IUI's.

Decided to seek a second opinion. Does anyone have any recommendations for a fertility doc in the Los Angeles?

Any Deloitte fish do IVF and medical cryopreservation of embryos (not social cryopreservation - as my wife has diminished ovarian reserve)? I’m having a hard time understanding our benefits for embryo freezing. We would like to retrieve as many as possible, given diminished ovarian reserve, and would commence with IVF immediately, hoping to bank others for children two and three

Had my baseline blood draw yesterday for my first IVF cycle. My doctor said we had about a 1-4 day window to start stims. Today, I got results back from my baseline stating that my estrogen levels are too high to start stims. Has anyone else had this happen before? Is there anything I should be doing/taking to lower it before stims?

I went from having pretty much always regular periods in my 20s to now having way less regular ones in my early 30s, often occurring 8 weeks btwn periods versus 4. Is this a sign of fertility issues or just lifestyle and more stress can cause more irregularity consistently?

Any suggestions for Fertility treatment and IVF facilities in Orlando ?

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has any doctor/clinic recommendations for egg freezing in nyc? Been looking at extend, nyu, Cornell, Columbia, kofinas, etc.

Does a great doctor and lots of physician interaction matter that much for egg freezing? I know it matters for IVF but curious if that weighs as heavily for the egg freezing process as well. The larger clinics I’ve talked to (nyu, CCRM, etc) seems to have less interaction with the doctor and are costlier while smaller places cont…

My husband and I have gone through all of the preliminary fertility testing with our RE - so blood work, Karyotype testing, baseline bloodwork and ultrasound on day 3 of cycle, HSG test, sperm analysis, and a genetic screen. Zero abnormal results found… we’re both 29 and healthy. Have been trying for about 14 months and have had 2 early miscarriages, 6 months apart. Anyone in a similar situation? Our follow up/treatment appointment is in 2 weeks, feeling anxious about next steps!
