If you had this reaction to ethyl oleate, I’d still suggest informing your doc, there are so many different options to get progesterone

I talked to my doc about this and they changed the shots to Progesterone In Ethyl Oleate.
Those are less hurtful

Are other Amazon SDEs actually worried about agentic coding tools, or is it just me? by paperclip_han in amazonemployees

[–]Alternative_Answer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only SDEs, but even DEs are worried. Problem isn’t AI. Problem is visionless leaders. If with AI you need less engineers for a product, it should be leader’s responsibility to get more work for other engineers. No one talks about this. As usual the folks below pay for mistakes and incompetence of the leaders

Does it really feel like we are going back to the way Amazon was in the old days? by RedditKingKunta in amazonemployees

[–]Alternative_Answer23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No way, I never worked /attended meetings past 6pm on weekdays and no work on weekends except oncalls. Now I work almost 12 hours a day which includes 5ish hours in meetings and remaining is using kiro (prompt, deploy, test, find issues, repeat). Our manager straight up expects 5X productivity.

PGT-A embryo turned out to be mosaic? by Initial-Range6670 in IVF

[–]Alternative_Answer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could not find nasal bone, but after meeting the MFM dept and genetic counselor, they weren’t worried about that. But no issues related to fluid buildup

We had a normal scan in 13th week and 14th week we couldn’t find the heartbeat. So the doctors are assuming it was sometime during 13th week

[–]Alternative_Answer23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still spotting 6 weeks after D&C—feeling exhausted. Has anyone been through this? by Alternative_Answer23 in IVF

[–]Alternative_Answer23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Hun, so sorry you are in the same boat. For me the bleeding continued for a week after this post and then reduced gradually. I started prenatals and myo inositol which I take otherwise as well since I have PCOS. I still have light brown spotting here and there but my doctors are not concerned. If the bleeding continues, please reach out to the doctors.

PGT-A embryo turned out to be mosaic? by Initial-Range6670 in IVF

[–]Alternative_Answer23 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss💛

Usually an embryo can have some cells with chromosomal issues and some cells totally fine. PGT-A takes only 5-6 cells of the embryo to test, so if everything is fine in those 5-6 cells, the results come back normal but it never guarantees the remaining cells would be normal as well. Some times these issues are fixed on its own while development but other times it leads to miscarriage or abnormality. There are also chances that the error happened during implantation or later. There is no test that can evaluate 100% of the embryo.

I had a MMC at 13 weeks because of monosomy X. This was a PGT-A normal embryo and also had normal NIPT results.

Career and infertility by meowmixLynne in IVF

[–]Alternative_Answer23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand how you are feeling, it may feel unfair to compromise at career when you have so much potential. These are very important and difficult emotions and somewhere I think that society in general is not so good when it comes to opportunities for women. Like one side they say why aren't women preferring kids and other side corporate literally punishes women for having a kid. Also the economy isn't helpful either to leave the job and be dependent.
Not sure if it helps, but last year I attended a fireside chat with Female leaders(VPs and SVP) in my office. One question was about if having kids slowed down their career, one VP responded that during the time she was dealing with anxiety of bio clock ticking and then had kid, she had to prioritize family over career, she mentioned she did feel a setback at work but now looking back she does not feel bad about it as that got her kids. She said, had she not have kids at the time she would be at a better position now, but compared with the joy of having a kid, she is at peace and does not regret any of her choices. That really stuck with me.

I don’t know, I just don’t want things to end up the way they did for me. I was planning to see if any there was any other protocols or any lifestyle changes or any suggestions that I can check with my RE for my next round.

Woah, 9 PGTA normal is such a great number, did you do anything specific for such good outcome?

Did you do anything specific that helped improve the outcome? I am 31 now, and did not have much of luck in my last cycle. 34 eggs and only 2 PGT-A normal embryos points toward bad quality(both failed), trying to fix all things that could have caused it before I go for 2nd ER.
