This was my second IVF cycle. First one was with antagonistic protocol and the second one with micro dose Lupron flare protocol and estrace priming. Both resulted in same number of follicles. Feeling really sad. I was hoping for better results this time. Have people seen better results with a different protocol. It is just 5 for me each time. I am 35

Realtors, whenever you do a house showing, what is your policy on mask-wearing? I've had some people come in and get mad whenever we ask them to mask up. Am I in the wrong here? I do it to protect not only me or my team, but also the other guests.

Has anyone taken part in sperm sorting at their clinics to give a better chance of choosing X or Y sperm in IVF? My clinic has a study where it can skew girl 60/40% but the working hypothesis is that the abnormal Y sperm will fall down with the heavier X sperm, so there might also be a higher chance of aneuploidy. Wanting other people’s results on this. If not, on IVF genders in general - are you getting more boy or girl normal embryos?

That moment when your "smart" plan to boost your hours this month by working the Labor Day weekend (thus turning down all the fun plans your friends made) becomes sitting on your hands & feeling dumb because all the partners are too busy to delegate anything. The worst kind of "off" day is one you planned to /wanted to work, but there's no billable work...

We have a case going to trial soon. I think we have a decent chance but a lot of obstacles. I don't think it's a case for the jury and defense is threatening to pull their very real offer because they are about to dump a lot of money into the case. I personally haven't had an offer pulled from me but has anyone here had that happen? Or is it a bluff? Thanks, all!

I am so sad and will seek therapy. Have one son via ivf and was overly optimistic . My next ivf cycle was awful, despite good amh/fsh, with a huge drop off with day 5 embryos and abnormal results.
