I just turned 35 a couple months ago. My doctor said it’s up to me to do a FET or fresh transfer. With FET we would do the genetic (PGT) testing. I’m 50/50 on what to do. I know the PGT testing isn’t 100% accurate and couple potentially damage healthy embryos. And even a genetically normal, highly graded embryo could end in a miscarriage. Any suggestions or advice? I don’t know what to do. I’m starting stims soon so I’ll be having my egg retrieval is a couple weeks.

How many dress shirts and trousers do you recommend I should have? New to this and need advice. Sorry if repost.

Male 🐠, what is your go to for dress shirts? Started with Hilditch and Key, then went to custom from Hong Kong, and then Charles Tyrwhitt. Love the CT price point and look, but think they’re scratchy.

What is your perceived risk level for contracting COVID these days? Are you back to work? Masking? My clinic still requires testing in spite of vaccination status.

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?

For those of you who had miscarriages after IVF, was there an underlying cause? Did you do genetic testing of your embryos? Did you do frozen or fresh transfer? Are there any ways to minimise chances of miscarriage during ivf?

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

Do you need to have your first day of period to start an ivf cycle ?

SIL and BIL told us excitedly last weekend that she was pregnant (had literally just found out, so barely four weeks). This week she tells us she’s not pregnant anymore :(. They did not seem super torn up about it and were very practical about it. We said how sorry we were, etc etc. should I do anything else? Should I not mention it again unless they do?

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval? I’m still on birth control but my doc said after egg retrieval (assuming we get a strong embryo), I’d get off of birth control and on lupron for two months before transfer. The reason I’m not getting off of birth control now is because it manages my pain.

About to start back in consulting and my IVF cycle is kicking off as well. How would you recommend broaching the topic with the lead office partner?

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?

Experience/success/insights with an “endometrial scratch” before first FET?

31 year old female here. Recently started ttc. Was on pill before. How many cycles should I try before consulting a obgyn? I want to be proactive in case there is a problem. Also, do I set an appointment with obgyn for a fertility workup? Pretty new to all this and would appreciate all advice.

Has anyone’s medical provider prescribed femera? I have well documented PCOS and my GYN said I don’t need to wait 12 months for intervention because I have 16 years of documented menstrual irregularities. I just got off my birth control in December. We want TTC starting in my next cycle. Just wanted to hear peoples experience with femera. My whole life I’ve been told it will be a struggle

Transfer day!!!! Wish me luck!!! 🤞🏼

I’ve never had marijuana. But the nurse gave me a Valium before my embryo transfer. I felt quite relaxed and good after taking Valium. Is it the same feeling as taking marijuana? Any sister who has had both can share? Thanks!

I’m on an estrogen patch and I feel like it’s making me really sad. Has this happened to anyone else?
