I am in the process of IVF due to my husband's male factor infertility. I am so grateful for the benefits that EY provides and wanted to know if there is any consideration for reevaluating those benefits? We know that IVF is incredibly expensive and for some of us, having children is a top priority. Does anyone know where or how we can petition for enhanced or shared benefits? I have ideas.

Anyone experienced with aging beagles? Ours is 11 and over the last few years her preening has gotten more and more incessant. It’s to the point where if she’s not sleeping, she’s licking her front legs constantly. Is this normal?

Has anyone done laser skin treatment or skin resurfacing? I have minor lines around my eyebrows (outer, not middle), and forehead. Any advice? I don’t think I want to do Botox but I’ve otherwise looked at maybe microneedling.

How long do you stay on holiday leave for the holiday season?

Is it just me or is hardly anyone wearing masks nowadays? Some clients come to showings without masks and it's really aggravating.

I’m an HR Generalist. My job is a mix of recruitment and Employee Relations. I find the recruitment aspect to be pretty enjoyable and stress free, but the Employee Relations aspect does often give me a lot of anxiety (I’m a very anxious person to begin with). Recently, it’s been worse because I have several ER cases currently that seem like they could be potentially turning into lawsuits. Do others in ER experience these anxieties? If so, how do you manage them?

@optum How many leave are there in a year

Thinking of getting a peloton but not sure whether to justify the expense of £75-80 a month. Are the alternatives (Echelon or just getting a decent spin bike (£300-500)and using apple fitness) better?

I still see the eyes of my patients as they are intubated and the fear they projected. So many died. My heart hurts for them, their families and all of those who cared for them until the end. Having some serious PTSD from this pandemic.

Has anyone recovered from egg retrieval where the volume of eggs was really high? I’m 2-3 days from surgery and at 28 eggs and counting. Just want to know what the recovery looks like.

Advice to young lawyers. Read a book.

I saw the thread about savings and many young lawyers (20s and 30s) don’t know how to open up a brokerage account or invest in their 401k. I know they don’t teach personal finance in school (though they should!), but my advice is that you should go to your local library and read a book about the subject. You have the skills necessary but you must invest in yourself. No one will look out for you.

What are your thoughts on taking a 6 month to a year sabbatical after about 5-6 years of work experience? My end goal is to move to the buy side but I would really like to experience the world before I settle down. Thoughts?

What are peoples current mortgage interest rates in the US and when did they start?

I'm from the UK and looking to move the US sometime soon with a view to buy and currently on a 1.4% interest rate on my UK property secured about 12 months ago for the next 5 years (so a good time to do it).

But seeing much higher interest rates mentioned on here so curious to get a temperature check on people's current deals.

If I bill 2400-2500 a year (corporate/M&A) what percentile would you all say that puts me national percentile wise for all big law associates? I know there’s some nuts who bill 3000 a year but I figure they have a screw loose…maybe I do too? Lol.

Ordering Limerick breast pump accessories.
Wondering how much of each item I should order. Not sure what item I would need the most or more than another. Don’t want to undercut myself nor go overboard. Would lactation consultant help with the quantity of each accessory I would need ?

Whats the process of enrolling in this? Anyone did it recently?

I have BCBS and have been having a hard time getting everything approved and set up. This process was much smoother when I went through it the first time in 2018. Anyone else’s having these issues? Is Win Fertility still the place that handles it?

Welcome! Let's help each other out with any questions or experiences about our own Pathways to Parenthood via IVF, adoption, surrogacy, IUI, etc! ☺

Hi - I have never used this. I’m planning to schedule fertility test. Would this programs offer me any benefits?

Thanks in Advance!

Does this benefit cover procedures such as freezing eggs?

I have been finding a number of providers that are in-network (UHC) but the surgery centers are out of network and I was told that I have to use in-network. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm not seeing how much use the benefit is when the most expensive part is out of network.

Fo getting the reimbursement what is the process? Just submit normally through insurance? FAQ says participate in managed fertility program. What does that mean?

I am wanting to start the adoption process. I reached out to pathways to parenthood for information first from my personal email. I got a response within 30 min asking me to email them back from my work email. I did so and it has now been 3 days with no response. Is there any other way of contacting them?

We are just starting out on our adoption journey and have sent in some initial bills from our adoption attorney to the Pathways email address. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from that inbox? It's been about a week so far.

About a year into our infertility journey and considering switching from my husband's company's benefits to EY's to take advantage of the 50K lifetime benefit. I know I would need to switch to EY coverage, but does my husband also haveto be on EY's insurance to have IVF costs fully reimbursed?

Is the EY 16 week maternity pay 100% of the salary ? I was reading the FAQs and could not find anything that said 100 % of pag provided in the 16 weeks of eligible time off.

Thinking ahead for next year
With the Pathway to Parenthood program which insurance provider have you used (Anthem BCBS or UHC) ?

Has anyone had any issues getting a response back from pathways. They are not responding to my emails when I ask for assistance.

Are we absolutely unable to get a pump that is not the Limerick one?

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

Where are you in your own path to parenthood?

How do we proceed with using this benefit? How to enroll if i want to start with IUI?
