Hi Fishies, I turned 32 a week ago and I had modified FET transfer on 11/07. We went with IVF(ICSI), as we have male factor, spouse is 34 yrs old. We transferred 5AA, and my clinic(CCRM@Boston) told that they will be doing first blood work on 11/16 and if it’s positive, will do second blood work on 11/18, and asked not to test at home, I’m not even planning to do any test anyways. Im trying to stay calm and relax. But I’m having stomach cramps same like period cramps, is it normal?

Everyone outside and inside is wearing masks again. It will take years to get back to normal. 🤦🏼

Really annoyed that during a majorly stressful campaign (for a client that quite frankly sucks lol) that in every meeting, forum etc Project Management isn’t EVER mentioned in the acknowledgements. I guess it’s normal but I guess since I almost lost my mind and had three anxiety attacks in one just one week alone I’m feeling salty. I can’t even begin to describe the mental, emotional and spiritual fortitude this took. Again I know I’m preaching to the choir, PM is such a thankless job but argh!

Have anyone 35+ had successful pregnancies after one or more miscarriage(s)? I’m feeling defeated, don’t know if we should try again :(

Hi guys, I really believe to be into ADHD and to have always been into it. I’ll get a diagnosis in the next few weeks. In your experience, how are things changing (and how long does it take for a change) in your private and professional life once you have a diagnosis and start meds?

When, or if you set time aside to take care of yourself or do something for yourself, what do you do? I'm realizing I don't really have any "healthy" ways of relaxing outside of work, so drop whatever you got. It's starting to affect my personal life and I'm worried I won't be able to have healthy relationships unless I can take care of myself first.

I’ve been on Adderall IR for awhile and just got prescribed Zoloft by my doctor today. Anyone have experience taking both meds?
(Asking because I was taking Adderall and Lexapro together years ago and had to stop because I started getting tons of random bruises, so I’m wondering if there’s anything y’all have experienced with Adderall & Zoloft.) Thanks so much!!

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.

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.

Did IUI couple of times but failed. Not sure it works , fertility specialists are not that much interested in IUI but directly recommend IVF. For context am 39 , although have history of endometriosis and have a cyst in ovary do only 1 ovary is producing eggs. IVF seems little invasive and not sure if artificial babies are ethically correct . Just confused ...

So far 5 - 0

I am 34.5 and have been TTC for 1.5 years. Failed one cycle of timed intercourse and one natural cycle IUI. At this point, considering IVF- there were no major issues when got tested by RE. Had a microadenoma and have been on medication since. Husband’s count and motility came back normal but morphology was a bit low. RE said low morphology does not matter much. Any advice before going to IVF? Thank you in advance

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

I am suspected for endometriosis. I haven’t tried hormones yet but getting an IUD on Tuesday. Is it worth doing a laparoscopy? I am concerned about the risks. 33F, planning to have kids in the next 2-4 years. Not sure if I should wait and try it out before I get surgery.

Third MC at 6 wks. First was chemical pregnancy, second was Turner's. On this one they said the baby was Male but I (husband) am missing a Y chromosome so I can't father any males. I have no idea what this means for our journey 😞

Just did 1st Semen analysis and looks like sperm morphology and motility numbers are low.

Is that a concern ? How do I improve it.
