What is up with the pet pics? Is it karma farming or spam? Either way kinda cringy, this is a bowl about job referrals.

If you want to do strategy and you’re at a mid-size agency, is it just reality that only AMs and ADs handle it? At larger PR agencies, I’ve seen entire teams of strategists, and you can get started much earlier in your career. What’s the solution other than to join a larger agency (if you want to stay at a mid-size one) and still grow faster than years down the road?

FET - has anyone done 2 rounds of letrozole for a transfer? I did one round of 5mg daily, but at my day 13 scan it still looks the same as baseline, so my doc wants me to do another round of 7.5mg right away. Seems strange, and I’m debating asking to just fully scrap the cycle and go to HRT…

I’m starting to looking into freezing my eggs. 1. Is it possible to store your eggs in multiple facilities; I’ve been reading a few cases of centers having having accidents and material being destroyed. 2. Does anyone have any recommendations for egg freezing facilities in Chicago?

Hi all. Thank you for sharing your journeys, it’s really helpful to read and feel a little less lonely. We had a 5 day FET and it worked. We are 7.5 weeks a long. We transferred 2 embryos and so far it’s a twin pregnancy. We are very happy as it has been a long road. I have been experiencing cramping and some bleeding and discharge. Had 2 ultrasounds so far and things are well. But the cramping, spotting and discharge makes me nervous. Any words of wisdom?

Posted this in the moms bowl but figured I’d try here too. Have any KPMG ladies gone through IVF with any of our insurance plans? We are on my husband’s plan right now so just looking for feedback on coverage to compare the two. Thanks!

Tested a day before I was supposed to get my period and got a faint positive. Glad I didn’t tell my spouse because my period just came three days late. Is this common? I’m reading it may have been a chemical pregnancy

Trying for 6 months. Cycles have been ~6 weeks, but it’s been 60 days - no symptoms & negative home pregnancy test. Made an appointment w/my OBGYN this week. What should I ask for? 30 yrs old.

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.

Okay, so I have pretty bad cystic acne, clogged pores and enlarged pores. I’ve been using curology and a mild dermatologist recommended soap. I have seen some improvement, however I was curious if anyone was struggling with it and has tried the “Flo Vitamin gummy’s “ on top of my fertility struggle this really has kinda killed my confidence. I know it’s not specifically fertility related but Was hoping to get some feedback on similar situations

Is swimming okay after transfer? Have a transfer planned Memorial Day Weekend and I wonder if I should freeze my gym membership or keep it just for a pool and maybe light yoga… gained a lot of weight during egg retrieval and need some exercise but also don’t want to miscarry

I just found out Mitre (husband's company) covers fertility benefits. Breathing a huge sigh of relief as we're doing IVF next month!

I didn't see this online anywhere and wonder if we need to create an excel of IVF supportive companies somewhere. I've only seen lists of top companies, not all companies, with fertility coverage

Does anyone know if Fertility Insurance usually covers extraction of eggs for freezing? My job covers $25K for Fertility Treatment & 15K for Fertility Medication. I'm about to turn 30 and want to have kids in the future maybe 36? Just not right now.

TTC since 6 months with no success. 31 year old. Hubby’s semen analysis came back normal so we starting my testing. Just got AMH results and it is 6.52. Is this high? Always have regular periods so not sure if I should be worried? Talking to RE next week.

Any 🎏 have reciprocal IVF experience? Wondering how that would be covered under insurance? SO and I would probably have to be on the same insurance plan?

I’m currently undergoing IVF at BCG, where I am able to use the infertility benefits because I have a genetic condition I do not want to pass on (not for a diagnosis of infertility). I’m moving to Deloitte soon, and would love to know if the infertility benefits will be accessible to me there - has anyone used those benefits with a similar situation (not for actual infertility)? Hoping to get similar coverage, but ready to continue COBRA for a few months/pay out of pocket if needed.
