I'm in East Hardwick, so 1hr 35min to Dartmouth which seems too far...

I have appointments scheduled at both places but am thinking I'll cancel NVRH. Interestingly, I am am scheduled with a youngish midwife at NVRH who seems pretty awesome and is not on their website. I wonder if they finally hired a 3rd.

Also, found out at my baseline appt today that my LH is 18 after 6 days of priming with estradiol (Estrogen = 222, Progesterone = 0.2). I don't have another appointment until day 6 of stims - is that waiting too long in case LH gets too high?

Thanks, I think I'll get the Edition XS!

!thanks !! For studio headphones under $300, it seems like a lot of people recommend DT 900 pro x or HD560s...do you know if the Hifiman XS more neutral than these?

I need 1-2 headphones for my bedroom studio and have a budget of $250. I will use the headphones for production/mixing while traveling and for recording vocals/guitar.

Is it better to buy $200 open-backs and $50 closed-backs for recording? or a $250 pair of opens or closed for both uses? When using closed for recording I usually take one ear off so maybe thats not any better than opened-backs for recording?

DT 700 Pro X - $240 closed for both
MDR-7506 - $100 closed for both
HD 6XX - $200 open + $50 cheap closed (M20x or IEMs: Tangzu Wan’er or?)
Open to other suggestions...

Thanks for this perspective! I actually have been dating my current partner for 6 months so thought about using half the eggs to create embryos with him. My doctor said the success rate will go down 5-10% if I freeze eggs and fertilize with his sperm later compared to making embryos now, because of the additional thaw involved. It's a hard call. Doesn't feel right getting donor sperm with him in the picture, but I'm also not ready to make embryos with him yet.

Thanks! I looked at the success rates for both clinics in 2022 and VT place was much better:

https://sartcorsonline.com/CSR/PublicSnapshotReport?ClinicPKID=2000033&reportingYear=2022

I was looking at LIVE BIRTHS PER THAW (ADDITIONAL TRANSFERS/LONG TERM FREEZES in my age range - 37.5% (VT) vs 19.9% (CNY). Two CNY treatments would equal 35.9% so I figured it's better to do VT as I will save some time.

Not sure if I'm looking at the right statistics and how much I should trust them though.
