My husband did his semen analysis last week and his morphology came out to be low i.e. 2 (normal range 2.5 to 4). He had done it couple of times few years ago and results were great. My doctor said I should check with fertility clinic for assessment. The appointments are not available immediately. Wanted to get guidance on these results. Anyone has been in a similar boat? Are these results really scary? His motility seems to be fine. Do these results fluctuate? Hope to hear back. Thank you!

My eyesight is getting worse and it’s lowkey stressing me out lol. On that note, do you know what the cheapest way to get contact lenses is?!

Anyone have perspective on taking creatine and partying on the weekends? I don’t drink during the week but I know alcohol and creatine both go pretty hard in terms of dehydrating your body. Recently passed the 3 week mark of taking creatine (5 days a week), and again, only exclusively drink on the weekends. Bad mix? Good in moderation? And btw I regularly hit a gallon a day of water intake.

Make sure you show your loved ones love. Chances are it’ll come back to you. Giving and receiving love is great towards staying healthy.

Pls give your valuable suggestions ..

I have planned to go to gym in the afternoon , so I might not be available for some time . Should I inform my TL about it because this is not just for a single day but 2-3 days in the week ..?

I am doubting if I will get the permission or not .

What’s going on with the shutdown? Shutting down bars, restaurants, etc., and meanwhile although COVID cases are equivalent to their earlier peak the number of deaths and hospitalizations are far lower.

Anyone ever used Ashwagandha pills? Do those work?

Is there any research saying young kids aren’t major covid asymptomatic spreaders? As more businesses open up, more kids are in day care. Young adults (millennials) are parents of kids. Kids are at family events and bbqs, but not at protests. Kids put things in their mouth and touch and jump on everything, very unaware. It seems convincing.

Any one have success with taking premama for her? If so did you stop taking everytime you ovulate?

If you want to stay lean and not bulk up then reduce your calories. Mix in some high intensity work.

Hi all! Have been working for around 16 yrs and mostly behind desk. Having backpains and always needed to crack my back / stretch every now to relieve a bit, especially after sitting > 1 hr, or after getting out of car/bed/chair. 8 glasses of water everyday. Started to do road cycling and it helps, but not completely. Any suggestions?

Anyone hear about Equinox Sports Club being open to corporate all access members on weekends? (All access normally doesnt include sports club)

I've struggled with taking meds. I never understood the concept of "take your meds even if you feel good."

Today, I'm 28 days consistent taking my meds and I feel so. damn. great.

Keep going friends

Anyone use an under the desk bike? I hate sitting all day and I am looking for a way to make it a little healthier

My advisor called my medical accommodation a “benefit” when bringing up their frustration about two people in my team taking vacation at the same time so FA will have to be in office those days.
I literally had nothing to do with their issue. They were like “well what if you decide you need t work from home that day?”
I’m thinking about talking with them and clarifying that my accommodation is not a benefit and I would appreciate it if they addressed it as such. It caught me off guard I’m ngl.

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Tried to find a psychiatrist in Chicago and everyone I call isn’t accepting new patients ❤️

How is everyone staying motivated at work while going through fertility treatments? On days when I have appts or get my period, all I want to do is google and read forums about it. My utilization is tanking (not because I’m blowing off work, but because I need to find and take on new work) but can’t get the energy to). I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

I’m trying to go back to the basics. How do you guys structure thoughts around identifying the correlation between 2 variables? A basic example: the number of steps I take in a day and the hours of sleep I got that night.

How do you relieve tension in your traps when you start to get stressed? I feel like I will start to tense up out of nowhere and I don’t know how to stop it

Hey guys. Company is going back in person full time and really looking to stay remote. Do you have any leads to a remote position for someone who has about 2 years in a cyber security position. I have GSEC and working on GCDA. I’m going back for a part-time masters but for now, don’t have a ton of experience.

Just got an offer from a BB in a sweaty coverage group. I’m a 1st year analyst at a MM tier II bank right now, coming in as a lateral. The offer is 85k + 10k signing (I will lose my original signing bonus bc of clawback and the bonus I’ve been accruing here ~15k). Does anyone have advice on how I can ask for more money or figure out who the other lateral hires are to see if they negotiated anything?

Hello Fishes,

Need an advice which is the better organisation to join Accenture or Deloitte if both are giving the same package.

Any Boston guys here? Care for a meet up?

About to start egg retrieval process next month. Is there anything I should do to prep my body?

How long did it take to bleed after a 10 cycle of provera? I just finished day 10 yesterday.

My sister in India is struggling with IVF. What would the process be to donate an egg to her over there or get them her in the USA to do it ? Thanks a lot . Also if you know of great fertility clinics in India please recommend !

Anyone have any experience with APS? Did some blood tests after two early miscarriages (5 weeks and 6 weeks) and my anticardiolipin levels are somewhat elevated. Still have a couple weeks before I can get in to see my doctor, so curious what other people have to say in the interim.

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

Did anyone experience extreme fatigue, difficulty sleeping/insomnia, nausea/lack of appetite after progesterone in oil shots? Wondering if this is normal or a reaction.

Has anyone noticed traveling has an impact on implantation/getting pregnancy?

PwC Fish - I’m considering where to have a baby, either the US or Austria (I currently live in Vienna, but thinking to move home to the US). What’s maternity leave in the US? How much does it actually cost to have a baby with our insurance? In Austria, I can take up to a year off, but only receive €2,000 a month from the government 😳… I don’t think there is any paid leave through the firm. Pregnancy through birth costs are pretty covered by insurance though. Would love your thoughts!

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?

Hi everyone, I’m a 27 y/o female who recently found out that my AMH level was a 0.5 which I wasn’t expecting. With no plans on getting pregnant anytime soon, this made me really worry, so I’m looking into egg freezing for my future fertility journey.
I’m currently located in NYC and I was able to get my first fertility assessment done at Kindbody, but now wondering if I should get second opinion at a different clinic (maybe im in denial).
I would love to hear any doctor or clinic recs in nyc!
