Well, I have some stress from work, less from family problems. As for the election, I'm not sure what I'm feeling is stress, it's more like disgust. There are times when I can't believe what the country has been dragged down to. The jokes about Idiocracy being a documentary just hit way too close lately.

Honestly OP I stay focused on getting through each day. I have a routine that I pretty much stick to and I make sure to eat good food, exercise regularly, and get outside to get some sunshine. I definitely have my days where it feels like impending doom but I try to approach each day with an attitude of gratitude to make it through the day.

Shut down all the social media especially Twitter. You’ll feel lot of peace.

You really have to keep what matters at the forefront and only care as much as you need to do your job.

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs. We got poor results at our current clinic and, happens that our clinic is rated lower on SART website. Wondering if the lab quality is the reason or if the clinic handles complicated cases that lead to lower outcomes. Overall, unsure if we should switch clinics or just try again at the current one. Thanks.

I had IVF process to get pregnant. During pre- embryo transfer we were told that girl embryo is being transferred. Currently I am 18 week pregnant. I had anatomy scan and we found out we are having a boy. Baby looked all healthy but due to gender discrepancy, We are asked to do additional testing and genetic disorder screening. Anyone had similar experience?

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.
