I have consult with RE coming up next month to potentially start IVF. I’m not happy where I’m (job/company) and looking to switch. Current job has good fertility benefits. Wondering if I switch jobs, do fertility benefits typically kick in as soon as you start or there is a delay when you become eligible? Anyone has gone through this or know?

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.

Hi fishes,

29F here. Is Deloitte (India and USI) having any women in leadership hiring programs going on?

Any advice on passing the SHRM exam the first time around?

When is Salary day...last day or first day of a month ??

I have been selected at citi but HR is unable to release offer letter. This is because I have worked for citi as contractor or consultant in past but I don't remember my SP ID or GP ID which Citi provides to its temporary employees. HR is checking my SP ID or GP ID which was allocated to me in the past but I don't recall it is. HR is checking this with US team and this process is taking time. If they cannot extract it due to some reason, will they release my offer letter? Please clarify this.

I gave an interview yesterday in CG. The interviewer told me I cleared the technical round. When can I expect the call from HR for next round?

Currently have 10 years of experience as an RN ranging from Multi-system/transplant, cardiac, and burn/trauma ICUs, to NICU and currently pediatric ED. Please feel free to DM me instead. Thanks in advance!

How possible is it to negotiate internal transfers at your company. What is the best strategy for this?

What order do you study - read chapters in the book, flash cards, quiz , tests then simulations ?!

Insurance companies are now allowing embryo banking. This happened to me and also another friend who works at a different company where we decided to go through with another IVF cycle before attempting a transfer (because an optimal number of embryos was not achieved) and insurance approved them. Hallelujah!

Has anyone done a hysteroscopy before FET? I’ve had multiple failures and miscarriages so my RE recommended a hysteroscopy. Just curious what anyone else’s experience was with this and if it was useful in diagnosing uterine abnormalities.

How do people handle the post-transfer wait? I’m losing my mind.

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

My transfer day is coming up tomorrow. Any tips for higher success (other than meds and taking it easy)?

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?

As we start our fertility journey, is it worth paying for a tracking app like Flo? Or does the free version work just as well? Open to other app recs too.

I'm planning on doing a fresh transfer this cycle (today is cycle day 2) with SGF, and they want me on birth control until 9/21. Isn't that too long or is this a normal timeframe?

Any sucessful ivf experience with DOR ?

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

Does anyone have any recommendations for egg retrieval in the Boston area? I’ve heard great things about Boston IVF and CCRM, but would love to get additional opinions. CCRM seems a lot newer, while Boston IVF seems much more well-established.

Hi everyone, first fishbowl post here :) I’m currently 4W4D pregnant! I’m excited but also very anxious. I had a miscarriage first time I got pregnant last June and a chemical pregnancy in Jan. I REALLY want this to work and need to obviously keep my stress and anxiety in check. I read everything there is to read on what to do/not do/eat/not eat… My previous experiences have removed any kind of “innocent excitement” I had. Does it ever come back?

I had a FET two days ago. But woke up today feeling really energized. Now mildly freaking out that that means that the implantation wasn't successful. Waiting is the worst.

Giving away 4 vials of menopur (EXP 06/2023) and 4 crinone progesterone gel 8% (EXP 05/2024). Unused. Please you need it, please DM me. You only need to pick them up or pay for shipping! Based in Boston.

Was overjoyed when I got my positive. Should be about 6 weeks today but first scan went not as i expected. Gestational sac was empty. No yolk sac no fetal pole. Hcg and progesterone are high and good. Not sure how to feel :( praying next scan shows something. Worried this could be blighted ovum. 😭 Anyone else experience something similar?

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?

Did my first egg retrieval today. In so much pain. Feeling discouraged because they counted 30 eggs during monitoring but only retrieved 13. Really sad and disappointed. I've already had 6 failed IUI's.

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 you have to use a specialty pharmacy for your FET transfer drugs, or did your local pharmacy carry these?

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.
