I’m a 9th year in Big Law and have been struggling to get much work done the last 1.5 months.

Hello Everyone! Had a discussion yesterday regarding “claw backs” being included in a policy for sponsorship if the new employee leaves before 3 years. It was a declining percentage over a three year period. My POV was that it wasn’t something I’ve ever done and didn’t seem like they were sure of the hire they were making. I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!

Anyone here have a pituitary gland issue that caused high prolactin levels and found out that it’s related to the infertility issue? Just want to see how you had it resolved. Much love! Thanks!

Sharing my story: I carry an abnormal gene in which me and my wife's first child was affected. We decided with our second child to use IVF. We started our journey in January 2021 and my wife went through 4 IVF cycles using my sperm in a 9 month span (her choice). We decided after the 4th round failed to go a different route and use sperm donation to rid us of the gene. During 2022, she went through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got one that stuck. She is now 14 weeks pregnant and due in April 😊

I did not have a good retrieval and I’m having a hard time processing. This cycle took so much out of me, I don’t know if I can do it again. I just want to cry.

Received PGT results today and am thrilled we do have normal embryos! So over the moon, I know we have a journey to go but celebrating this milestone! Sending all the positive wishes to all of you as well!
