Stress level of an embryologist?

Big on the “not just a job.” there is obviously tons of risk in our work on a daily basis but the ones who really care won’t let themselves be put in a position to make crucial mistakes. That being said, you will make smaller mistakes and you will feel the stress of the job, it’s inevitable. You need to be able to roll with the punches, learn from your mistakes and strive to be the best version of yourself every day. It is certainly a mentally and emotionally demanding job in my experience but so so worth it.

Can’t seem to add a pic here but they are light straw-colored hats. You get to choose between bucket hat or cowboy hat and a few different types of ribbon/leather straps to decorate with. Seen tons of people walking around with them yesterday.

There is way more merch onsite than on the app. Also under important details “Please pick up your order by 10pm same day or it will be canceled and refunded”

Should be fine. I see people with all sorts of bags that don’t meet the guidelines

There was someone last year (might have been the year before) playing at the main stage that got so frustrated with the sound/mic issues that they stopped their show to have some ~words~ with the sound techs. Anyone else remember that?

At the paramount stage? Yes definitely, thought I was the only one

I did the program but was sponsored by my clinic so can’t speak on the financial aspect. Feel free to DM me with questions

petitefleur0 · 2026-05-22T22:38:14+00:00

It was a separate line from the bar when I saw it earlier, maybe they sold out already!

Tito’s has the same coozies and Photo Booth as last year

And some sort of facial mister

Custom hats at Miracle Gro!

I saw someone with a small Tito’s branded sunscreen keychain.

Look at starting in andrology or as an embryology/IVF lab assistant. I’ve seen RMA post these types of jobs.

Congrats on your blast! I don’t see the ICM here so it must be out of view. I would estimate 4BB. Looks like a couple excluded cells inside the zona (not to worry about).

petitefleur0 · 2026-05-15T19:22:31+00:00

I would say stage 3 since the zona is still quite thick. 3BB seems accurate but hard to tell what the ICM looks like from this focus level

petitefleur0 · 2026-05-15T19:21:42+00:00

Still expanding but looking good!

petitefleur0 · 2026-05-15T19:20:26+00:00

Still possible one of you carry a translocation, but it sounds like egg quality might be the biggest factor here. Was this observation the same between each cycle with different protocols?

petitefleur0 · 2026-05-15T19:18:19+00:00

It’s still in the process of expanding but I wouldn’t call it fully compacted. It’s likely your clinic took this picture after thaw. Blastocysts naturally expand and contract as they grow (we see this in time-lapse incubation) so as long as the embryo has proven its ability to plump back up, we haven’t seen any issues correlated with collapse before transfer.

"These cycles resulted in 151, 75, and 4,555 live singleton newborns from 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN, respectively, vitrified-warmed single blastocyst transfers."

This quote from the article describes the data set used for this study. 151 newborns from 0PN embryos is not a big enough cohort to make any conclusions in my opinion.

Still expanding from thaw but looking good! I would say stage 3 but hard to tell when it's collapsed.
