Is it possible to link a title on a PowerPoint slide to other slides in the presentation? (Like how in Excel you can link to other cells so you don't have to keep filling in the same information)

For example, I have a title that has the format: date of meeting title of meeting. This is a weekly meeting so every week I have to manually change the date for 30+ slides. Any insights? Thank you!

I’ve had pain and discomfort lately and visited a gyno this week. When they examined me, they mentioned a endometrial (?) cyst on my ovary that I didn’t process fully, and prescribed low-hormone BC to manage the pain. After the visit, I did research and it appears this is a late-stage result of endometriosis, which I have never been diagnosed with (no previous gynos have ever mentioned it). Has anyone had one or have experience with endometriosis? I’m concerned about my fertility (still young).

So I thought I had Covid - I took 6 tests and they all say the P word..

Can anyone in the Charlotte area recommend a good, caring fertility clinic? Every single one I've researched has some pretty scathing reviews. Anybody have a good experience?

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!

Hi. I have very low AMH, 36 years old & never have been pregnant. I have done 2 IVF cycles this year approx 5 months apart. Each time had only 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilization each which lead to the embryo reaching blastocyst stages both times & both came back normal after genetic testing 🤍 talk about beating the statistics odds! 🤞🏻 I now have 2 cutie embryos saved. My husband & I would love to have twins and will be speaking to my doctor about the best options. Twins thoughts?

I feel like the fertility process is pulling my hubs and I apart. We’re both not great at communication, but I feel like this stressful process just is not bringing us together at all. I can’t vocalize what I need (because I don’t actually know what I need) and hubs is stressed and I feel like he’s drinking more and just not talking about his feelings. Anyone else navigating this? I don’t even know how to broach this topic. I am all about therapy, has anyone benefitted from couples therapy?

I recently received and official infertility diagnosis. My insurance has a $10k lifetime max for IVF/IUI treatments. I just received the financials from my IVF doctors office, it’s not pretty.

Has anyone traveled outside the US for treatment?

What can I expect as a husband of someone going through IVF?

I have consult with RE coming up next month to potentially start IVF. I’m not happy where I’m (job/company) and looking to switch. Current job has good fertility benefits. Wondering if I switch jobs, do fertility benefits typically kick in as soon as you start or there is a delay when you become eligible? Anyone has gone through this or know?

I transferred 5 day embryos 11 days ago and have such a faint line (like barely there) . I’m nervous it’s a chemical. Blood test is on Tuesday . Is a faint line normal?

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.

After my HSG and SHG I now have to do an MRI of my pelvis because the RE wants a better picture of one of the fibroids. They said if it is pushing into my uterine wall then it needs to be surgically removed. And if that’s not the problem then IVF is the next step. But I don’t want to do IVF nor can I afford to. 😔
