I am heading into IVF and the clinic made us sign a document saying if one of us is tested positive for COVID, the whole procedure will be canceled. The testing must be performed at their site. My husband’s mom has been organizing a big family trip for two months. I already excused myself from that trip. But I am very worried my husband my get covid from this trip. His mom has a lot of friends who don’t believe in Covid, and she volunteers at a 2nd hand store. What would you do if you were me

Shall I send my daughter (almost 5) back to PreK/childcare center in 2 weeks when they open after thanksgiving after shutting down preemptively due to a teacher and 2 parents getting covid?

How do you get over the fear of becoming poor? My family has been poor for multiple generations. My parents are still poor and under a lot of debt. I make decent money now, but I’m rather cheap in my spending habits because it feels like this money can disappear one day. Is this feeling of insecurity normal, or am I hypersensitive? Wondering how others approach money.

All our boy friends in common keep telling me that he has a crush on me but yesterday when we were hanging out with some friends and they asked him about his crush he said " I don't know I think maybe I liked a boy instead of a girl". That made me confused is there something wrong I'm doing? Does he think I'm boyish or is that a common teasing technique ?

If I know I am making more than what the job I am interviewing for would most likely offer, what should I say if the recruiter asks what my target comp is? Realistically I’d take a pay cut to join this firm, but don’t want to outwardly say that upfront. Thoughts? Talking ~20-30k difference

Do you have trouble putting a title to a risk, a risk is a combination of multiple factors as one equation (i.e Threat event, impact, likelihood, control strength etc.) And really doesn't have a title. A combination of factors are the unique risk.

In essence, the threat event is the title of the risk ? Thoughts?

I don’t wanna use TurboTax for my personal taxes anymore. I don’t like the system. I’m an ex tax professional, so I don’t need as much handholding

any recommendations? 

Thought I was being really proactive by looking into freezing my eggs at 29. Did the initial testing and am floored by how poor my indicators are (amh = .7, etc). ☹️ anyone else find out like this? Completely didn’t expect it.

Has anyone had experience with follicle size discrepancy? I’m trying to freeze my eggs; on day 8/9 ultrasound they counted 4 follicles larger than 11mm, two of which are already mature, 16.7mm and 18.9mm. They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?

I understand that PwC reimburse the elective egg freezing procedure by sending you the money through our paychecks (and will be taxed as income). I wonder if we can use the amount for itemized medical deductible when we file our tax return?

For those in LA area, any RE recommendations? Also, any indication from your clinics will start new cycles (or any clinics in LA already reopened)?

Did any of you experience anxiety from IVF stims? I’m on day 6 and about to lose my mind from anxiety. And it isn’t anxiety about the outcome or anything like that. I just feel like I’m going crazy!

How do you keep yourself sane during the two weeks wait? Going crazy over here.

How are all the 2WWers doing? Three days to go over here, the struggle is real :)

EY ladies, did insurance require you to transfer all frozen embryos before doing a second egg retrieval? Would like to freeze as many as possible now but WinFertility nurse said it would be difficult to get another retrieval approved before using all embryos first

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper. We went with Natera - and they take so long!! It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).

Can one suddenly be diagnosed with PCOS. I had regular periods till end of last year. I had a miscarriage last May and then tried IUIs and harmone injected timed intercourses, with no success. Contd

Has anyone used a nurse to administer the IVF injections? The PIO injections are freaking me out and idk where to begin.

My RE is saying my ovulation is concerning. They are not able to see the follicles grow before ovulation and ovaries were small post ovulation too. All my labs are normal and periods super regular. What could be wrong? RE says he can’t say anything until we do ultrasounds next cycle.
