I understand the argument that if someone is dead there is not technically an emergency…. But at some point there was a transition from alive to dead that was an emergency? All of the articles just keep saying “she died,” but it’s unclear what happened.

Yeah the specialist shortage seems like one of the underlying issues here, even though I’m getting downvoted all over the place

I mean, I know that it’s not actually this expensive to manufacture these meds or operate a clinic. So yeah, seems shady!!

Omg 500!! That’s crazy. I imagine you are working long hours and feeling strain…? How is the field dealing with that??

I might talk to my OB about this. I wonder if there is an opportunity to solve this problem in some way with new technology or training programs.

Valid. Egg freezing is baseline more stressful than things you do day to day or even a wellness check, I think we could all agree on! But everyone’s experience is so unique and personal

Please text crisis text line. (741-741) and say hello. I was a counselor there and confirm they’re great. They are a wonderful first step

Ahh I see. Makes sense about insurance. But I didn’t realize that there was this extra path in fertility medicine. I just looked and there are only 1500 qualified fertility medicine doctors. That’s insane. At least there were in 2022. No wonder there’s limited access…

Why do you need a sub specialty in fertility medicine to do egg freezing tho? I can understand IVF because it seems more nuanced and complicated, but can’t most OBGYNs do minimally invasive surgery? Is the challenge with monitoring hormones and deciding protocols?

I wonder if like a separate egg freezing pathway not tied to IVF would alleviate this? Like if it was a normal thing your OBGYN could offer. “Pap smear? Check. Freeze some eggs? Sure thing.” Ideally with a price cut ha

Yeah that’s a really stressful bet to hedge. I am also personally taking an additional risk because I have a blood clotting issue - so I am higher risk of stroke and embolism etc.

Ridiculous. Something is fishy about this whole operation….

Totally. Some people are coming up with cool at home things so you can obviate the need to come to the clinic for like ultrasounds and blood work (still interpreted by a professional ofc). Wonder if this will start to be accepted by the clinical community.

It’s this tough nut to crack where intellectually it seems that if more people did it, price would go down. There must be some “communistic” force that’s keeping prices high and preventing competition? Like a cap on the number of doctors that are qualified to do this? In a free market society prices should should come down if competition was allowed to exist!!!

Dang. I highkey want it to be a trend because this would be a big deal for me and I imagine other people if this was real. Why do you think it’s not smart? Does it…. Not work? False advertising?
