If you can, take a couple of days off. Not because physically you need it, but because having the mental break and avoiding stress can help. There’s a study that shows women who were exposed to humor after transfer had higher rates of implantation. YMMV, but I binged Ted Lasso like it was my job.

Reduce stress where possible, eat well. If you have a choice on cycle type, do a natural or modified natural cycle. Ovulating improves long-term outcomes (though no impact on implantation rates, and is more stressful because the scheduling is last minute).

My husband and I have gone through all of the preliminary fertility testing with our RE - so blood work, Karyotype testing, baseline bloodwork and ultrasound on day 3 of cycle, HSG test, sperm analysis, and a genetic screen. Zero abnormal results found… we’re both 29 and healthy. Have been trying for about 14 months and have had 2 early miscarriages, 6 months apart. Anyone in a similar situation? Our follow up/treatment appointment is in 2 weeks, feeling anxious about next steps!

I am planning to change jobs but worried about losing the IVF coverage. I was reading that New Jersey mandates that all insurance providers that cover pregnancy, should provide fertility coverage. Does that mean, we have blanket coverage if we stay in New Jersey. What if the employer is in New York? Looks like NY also have similar mandate. Which one will apply and how?

Looking for some advice. I'm 35 turning 36 soon. After 2 months of trying with my husband, I got pregnant. We were so happy until finding out 7 weeks later we miscarried. My doctor is telling me to wait another 6 months and keep trying. Then we would start looking at fertility and going down that route. It has been 2 months and haven't gotten pregnant (after the miscarriage). I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with fertility clinic now versus waiting another 4 months. Any advice for me?

Any thoughts from anyone on freezing embryos (with donor sperm) after freezing eggs? I only very recently froze eggs as I turned 35. When I started thinking about this a year ago (Single) my follicle count was very high but dropped by almost half in the past year. I was able to freeze 18 eggs. I now have a partner but it’s only been some months so I’m trying not to factor him into my previous plans. I had planned to do another cycle for embryos but using donor sperm. Thoughts on the risks?

Thought I was being really proactive by looking into freezing my eggs at 29. Did the initial testing and am floored by how poor my indicators are (amh = .7, etc). ☹️ anyone else find out like this? Completely didn’t expect it.

I’m 31yrs old and husband is 33yrs old, his motility and sperm count is too low, all my results are normal. so we decided to go with IUI first and see and then try for IVF as I cannot afford IVF, my insurance is not covering for treatments. I was taking letrozole And ovidural injection(only one injection), and got ready for this cycle, but unfortunately when the sperm was washed his motility 2.5 and our doctor at CCRM suggested not to go, as count is too low and it doesn’t work.😭. Will IVF work?
