I just want to know I’m not crazy. I feel and see such a divide between how white colleagues and POC Are treated by management.
I want to know if you have experienced racism at work or have witnessed it?
me and my wife (same sex couple) have been in the fertility process for a few years now. I’m 31 good amh she’s older not so good amh. the doctor told us instead of doing reciprocal ivf for me to just do IUIs. I was told by the third IUI I had a good chance of falling pregnant. by our fourth failed IUI and our donor sperm vials running low we switched to IVF.
i feel like the doctor was super hopeful. kept saying I had nothing to worry about I’ll have my baby. I just did my egg retrieval where they got 17 eggs. great. 14 of those were mature and 12 fertilized. we were hoping we would get the 50% range of 6 embryos.
we got our call on day 5 and we were told we had two good ones and 3 that they are monitoring for day 6 (which don’t have a great chance of making it).
so two good embryos.
after 3 years of testing, trying to get appointments. I just feel so defeated. i know two is still something but I really was hoping for more incase they don’t stick. idk I feel just so devasted. we can’t really go through this again, the sperm + the process has been expensive to say the least that we don’t have anymore money to spill.
any success stories? need hope again.
