What are the basic steps to start my IVF journey?
I’m super stressed and clueless on the process.
I don’t want to overwhelm myself by being overloaded with unnecessary information and overlook something that is priority.

I’m looking for a checklist of sorts.

My firm is having a big conference with hundreds of people. There is going to be lots of mingling and the attorneys are expected to give presentations to the entire crowd and also to smaller groups. I am fully vaccinated but need to avoid getting COVID because of preexisting (but invisible) conditions. I just learned that attorneys are expected to remove their masks while presenting. I do not want to face blowback from management but also want to protect my health. What should I do?

After my first FET with a PGT tested embryo my HCG was 145 (8 days post transfer); one week later my HCG dropped to 31. My RE mentioned there is no hope and we will move on to additional testing before going into the next transfer cycle. Is there indeed no hope for the HCG to increase at this stage? What tests did your RE conduct after a failed FET. The embryo did implant, but did not develop.
