Never heard of those procedures, what are they?

Retrieval day

We did ZyMot (husband had very high dna fragmentation / low motility and morphology). The post-ZyMot sample was much higher in motility and morphology (makes sense), but the ICSI fertilization rates were the same as our non-ZyMot round, so not sure it helped where we needed it to. May be good for IUI?

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
