Has anyone been to the Zoolights at the Zoo? I have never been, I'm relatively new to the area. Is this a good event for a casual walk around date night?

Do we have any generic certification policy at HCL for upskilling.

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Anyone can share experience working industry for SOX/IA roles? Is there work life balance, good pay, etc.?

KTOS - seems like a good play if things escalate in the Middle East

Given crazy market returns recently, do you still expect the market to rise at 10% over the next 30 years?

How far would market have to dip before your FIRE plans are altered? I feel my plans are pushed from about 2 years away to 6 or so

Has anyone ever worked at or heard anything on Wedgewood Communications?

Hello Amazonian,

Did anyone got to know their revised compensation ? And any idea how much it could be ?

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

Tips on Boston fertility clinics? So far looking between Boston IVF and MGH. (Also cross posting to Boston consultant bowl but thought I’d try here for the fertility fish)

Anyone took DHEA for diminished ovarian reserve ?

I was trying naturally (<1% chance of conception) and supposed to go on my first Clomid cycle now/near future. Is it irresponsible to try now? What do you all think?

We are adding Ganirelix to our routine tonight - I’m pretty scared as the doctor said it can hurt even more than the menopur. 😱 Can anyone validate??

Anyone else dread baby showers? I don’t want to go to my friends baby shower just because of the social aspect of it. Dreading the side conversations that I may have. I know it’s to focus in on my friends upcoming baby but I’d rather just do a 1:1 to catch up. What’s the best way to change your RSVP without lying and looking disrespectful?

Any advice on how to improve embryo growth drop off rate? Just finished our second retrieval and I’m frustrated by how many dont make it to blastocysts. We have good fertilization rate through ICSI. Is it normal for about 25% of fertilized eggs to make it to day 6/7? Husband has low count & motility and i have endo, both 33

Has anyone had any side effects from Ovidrel? I did my shot on Wednesday night and Thursday and Friday I was SO tired and fatigued and it was impossible to focus. Did my IUI on Friday and I’ve been SO crampy and in pain and I’m soooo cranky and irritable and I can’t figure out if it’s from the injection still or what

Hi All! For those that have had HSGs/saline sonos done, did it mess up the timing of that cycle? I’m going on 2 weeks after my period was supposed to start (and am not pregnant) and frustrated because my doctor is waiting on my period to start in order to start with IVF. Thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

One of my out of state REs is suggesting that birth control for three weeks before having starting a cycle. I consulted with another RE previously and he noted that he doesn’t recommend birth control for too long when planning an ivf cycle since it can impact response to fertility medication. Does this sound right ?

I got a positive pregnancy blood draw!!!! 2 Round IVF - this was a natural cycle and my HCG was 257 at day 9 post transfer!!

Has anyone successfully used FMLA to take leave while dealing with side effects from IVF?

Day 4 stims. Many of the follicles are super small but one is 12.4. They are adjusting my protocol but didn’t tell me much more than that - any sense of whether that’s normal or something to be concerned about? TIA!

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

Just started progesterone suppositories. Anyone else worried that you are starting them either too early or too late in your cycle? I read that too early can increase risk of tubal pregnancy…

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?
I’ve been in my current role for almost 4 years. While I am generally happy, & have flexibility with time off for personal matters, there are things that bother me. I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

For those who have researched these things at length / spoken to doctors: if I’ve had children in the past and have had a chemical pregnancy recently, is there any point to sending my husband for a sperm analysis? E.g., his swimmers hypothetically must be at least kind of working?

Does anyone have any recommendations for egg retrieval in the Boston area? I’ve heard great things about Boston IVF and CCRM, but would love to get additional opinions. CCRM seems a lot newer, while Boston IVF seems much more well-established.

Hi! Have any here gone the natural cycle IVF route? What was your experience like? Did you have success in growing your family this way? Would you recommend it to others?
