I know we've all been there. That seemingly innocent question, "When are you having kids?" It's the absolute worst for me. My husband and I have been trying for years, and it just feels like a constant reminder of what we don't have. I dread family gatherings and social events because I know it's coming. How do you respond without breaking down?

Need motivation to start running. How did y’all get back into it after getting out of it and becoming out of shape? Anyone?

Is it a norm to send a thank you note through your recruiter? I had an iffy interview, and wondering if I bother sending a thank you note. It was very clear that they were trying to do a stress interview so I feel weird saying the usual nice things.

Hi, looking to connect with someone responsible for CSR in an organization. Need to understand the functions in an attempt to validate a hypothesis for coming up with a non profit to amplify the csr quality. TIA

Anyone tempted by joining a start up in London. What would you look for?

Currently an Assoc at McK. Recruiters are reaching out with roles and specifying that senior execs are ex-MBB and ONLY hire MBBs. Does this raise a red flag to anyone else?

I did an HCG trigger on 6/26. Took 1 test/day days 11-15, all positives. Now (day 17pt) I’m having cramps and lots of bloating. Is that normal in very early pregnancy? Slightly panicking...

Just did my baseline testing and got results. My appointment to discuss the results with my RE is in mid January. Any guides / ways I can start to interpret them on my own before then?

Just got another negative test. I'm so lost. How do I handle the monthly roller coaster of emotions? Hope, disappointment on repeat. 😔

Currently going through the nerve wrecking 2 week wait. For those who have gone through IVF, did you test at home? If so, how early and was it accurate? Did you feel any symptoms? How early on?

Scared to start clomid next week. I’ve already been so emotional just about starting this process overall!

Planning to freeze my eggs early 2021, how far in advance should I go off my birth control? (I’ve been on it for 9 years). Planning to stop permanently and hopefully conceive next year.

Finally had a breakdown over infertility this AM and trying to pull myself together for Zoom. My tests are fine, but husband can’t deliver during my fertile window. I feel so hopeless with every month that goes by, and he doesn’t have any sense of urgency when HE is the one who wants kids more than I do. Just needed to vent.

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Questions to make sure to ask at first egg freezing consult with RE? It’s my first time so I want to make sure I don’t miss anything!

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

Insight into fertility benefits at capital one? Would appreciate any input

Does anyone have success conceiving with low AMH? I am 30 yo and my AMH is 1.11, RE says it's low for my age.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)

At the donor egg phase and just not dealing with it well. Having all kinds of regrets if I tried hard enough. Maybe should have ate better, tried all these different things. Did I do IVF too quickly? Some say IVF makes your eggs worse. Is this true???

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.

We are trying to change plan. What you’ll think about Aetna EPO, heard it pays 100% for IVF? Currently on BCBS not much benefits if we would want to skip IUI and jump to IVF. Any suggestions here would be helpful. Thank you.

Husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. His semen analysis came back all normal with the exception of morphology at 1% (Kruger Strict criteria). Anyone have insights into morphology and it’s impacts on fertility? From what I’ve read and after talking to our fertility specialist morphology seems subjective.

Sry if this is not the right place to ask .. but I'd love to know at what age would you consider the latest to get engaged/married?

& At what age did you start checking your fertility status?

I'm 31, in a long-term relationship (7+) ... Known each other almost half my life. 32 is 6 months ago ... i'm scared for the future but I also don't know where to start. Do I need to start looking into the fertility stuff now?

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.

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?
