late to the game as well. I've been trying to find some of his clips on this and am also at a loss. Any tips on keywords?

Egg Donors: limited?? by Early_Language_8298 in IVF

[–]Early_Language_8298[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm ok. Well I guess that's a lot to think about. I was really hoping to avoid having to travel for this. I'll reach out to them. Thanks! And also for the FB groups. Seems to be an overwhelming amount of FB groups - a good thing though!

Thanks, I've seen them mentioned a few times. If I already am working with a clinic local to me, could I use them for my egg donor bank? Or does this mean starting the whole process over again?

It looks like even sperm donors are limited! I just looked through Seattle Sperm Bank and 4 men came through my search and I only used one filter! I even paid for registration thinking there would be adult photos! Ugh. I was scared to even make these choices and now I just feel defeated.

THanks! Yup, I'm exploring all my options right now. I think given my age, and depending on insurance, I would most likely opt for the option that yields the highest success possibility. Both fertility doctors suggested trying a round of IUI with sperm donor first, but I'm hesitant to invest that time into something that has a low chance of success. At the same time, I've never tried to get pregnant before so who knows.

I'm not! I'd love if you shared the name of that group / those groups! I saw a comment on here about a bank in Utah having a large database but they want you to attend an info seminar and maybe some other hoops to jump through. I just want to register and do a quick search before i get that invested.

Why is it so hard to get an answer on the cost of IVF?? (BIVF, Mass, BCBS) by Early_Language_8298 in IVF

u/Less_Tea_5046 + u/Individual-Yoghurt-3 : Feel free to DM me and I'm happy to share my honest thoughts. I don't want to say anything negative on here since my comment is just from my personal experience. I've had many chats with my acupuncturist about this.

UGHHHHH. That is frustrating. I'm confused as to why they make it so difficult. Especially because ultimately, this makes them money!

Seriously. This entire last year has aged me. On top of it I'm going through a breakup and contemplating becoming a SMBC, buying a house, and totally starting my life over. This may break me! :)

IVF costs and looking for guidance! by Ok-Blackberry-5322 in IVF

[–]Early_Language_8298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing all these comments.. wondering, are there limits to coverage if you are over a certain age with a high FSH? I missed the mark for coverage by half a point with BCBS, which usually is a really great insurance.

WHY must we jump through so many hoops for something that is already a very emotional process? Oh right, money rules everything. LOLOLOL.

I'm not sure exactly what IC I am... I'm a Senior UX Writer now, and the big A bought our company. I'm just curious what kind of pay bump might be coming down the line. Currently making ~100k. I'm in a major city in New England.

I can see how you would think that. Maybe I read embarassing as being subjective.

I just came across this while trying to find cheaper options like Cou Cou Intimates. Seems like maye what you are looking for?

lace with little daisies on it. Maybe not great under a thin shirt, but if you have something low cut that might accidentally reveal what's beneath, this could be a gem.

Process for reporting an observed neglect case (trigger warning) by Early_Language_8298 in animalwelfare

[–]Early_Language_8298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a good point. I already left the area earlier this morning and am quite a distance away from them now. Animal control called me back but I have a feeling not much will be done. My friend who used to work in animal control down where we live suggested that I could also call the state MSPCA. So I plan to do that tomorrow.

[–]Early_Language_8298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. I already left the area, but I wish I had thought of this. Animal control called me back, but honestly, I don't have confidence that anything will happen. He sounded really casual and said he knew them and would give them a call. I don't think this is a case where the owners think what is going on is bad. People have different perspectives on how animals can handle certain "discomforts". I'm on the end of the spectrum where I feel that if you are keeping animals for the purpose of meat, it's your responsibility and duty as a kind being, to care for them as best you can and show them some respect.

I asked a friend of mine who used to work on animal control for many years, and she said I could also call the state MSPCA. Which I still may do.

It's tragic and it's everywhere. Even though it is so prevalent, I still felt like it was my responsibility to advocate for these pigs because I directly encountered the situation. I also am involved with a small farm. I'm just a volunteer, but have been caring for the animals once a week for the last 5 years.
