How do you know if you need IVF? My obgyn confirmed I ovulate at my last appointment. Been off BC for 7+ years, been trying during ovulation for the last year. Haven’t had my husband checked out yet.

So I had a couple panic attacks and stopped smoking weed as I was worried about my heart/racing/pains and was having anxiety about that. It’s been a month now not smoking and I’ve had more panic attacks and my resting heart rate is up almost 10bpm. I also ruled out any medical heart issues with my doc. I guess my question is... how can I manage my anxiety without medication when I was clearly self medicating with weed before? Im trying to get pregnant so pharmaceuticals are not really an answer

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

IVF seems little invasive and not sure if artificial babies are ethically correct . Just confused ...

I’m f*cked… I impulsively signed up for a half marathon after getting sh*t faced Saturday with friends. I have 5 weeks for this half marathon in Philly and I haven’t run a mile in a year. Do you have any advice? Shoes? Training?

Heartbroken - found out yesterday that someone very close to me in my family who has been clean for 10+ years (addicted to coke and alcohol, used it as a crutch for sexuality issues), relapsed recently and has started casually drinking again. I am the only one who knows this, and if it gets around, it will mess everything up for him. At a loss about what I can do to help, but also want to communicate to him that I think it’s a very bad idea that he start drinking again. I think the main reason he has started drinking again is because he is a single gay man in his 50s who wants companionship. Advice and support is appreciated.

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.

Has anyone been on Lupron prior to an IVF cycle? Last one failed for unknown reasons but I also don’t have any evidence of endometriosis. Curious to get some second opinions.

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?

My doctors office is recommending that I do genetic testing on my embryos. Would love to hear if anyone else has done it or would recommend it? What does it entail? Is it worth it?

Sharing my story: I carry an abnormal gene in which me and my wife's first child was affected. We decided with our second child to use IVF. We started our journey in January 2021 and my wife went through 4 IVF cycles using my sperm in a 9 month span (her choice). We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. 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?
