I got the Roost laptop stand off amazon. There are cheaper ones that are apparently also good but I wanted to support American manufacturing lol. Honestly it been a HUGE game changer. Struggled with neck and shoulder pain from just one year of hunching over my screen and now the pain is literally gone. I got some comments from my team when I first got the setup (you’ll need a portable keyboard too) but honestly most people think it’s cool/are jealous. Could not recommend more!

They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?
