Grateful and trying to be more graceful everyday. Lover of my family, DMB, the Cubs, animals, nature and reading. This is my starting line.

@AshleyGWinter @AmerUrological I am so sorry for your loss. It is infuriating to contemplate. As an IVF patient (in a red state), this adds stress (on top of stress).

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@emily_fri How extremely tragic. I'm so sorry.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@JBsTwoCents There are many fertility institutes that offer grants and lower costs (I believe CNY near NY) is one of them. I have experienced so much of the IVF-world. Lmk if I can help.

@MrsPA_C What if we are just giving them ice cream because we want to give them something special? It really isn't anyone's business. That's the gift of being a parent!❤️

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@fuzzymittens Lol, most male pathologists I know don't go to parties or talk very much 🤣

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@dieworkwear Who he is? Is he on @x? Love this!

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@fuzzymittens ...we all began sharing our fave banned books because we were not restricted to select literature. Yes, it was petty, but I wanted to remind her that her kids' edu was more important than showing off.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@fuzzymittens A fellow volunteer bragged about her children's parochial school (for which she did not pay - had a relative who covered it), which was not a great fit for her kids. She kept putting others down so I finally asked the members of our group altogether which banned books they loved.

@MrsPA_C I'm sorry. So stressful. Been there with very similar circumstances. I feel like pathologists and radiologists are a bit similar. Hugs 🫂

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@Dr_amoytheemd Gross and untrue. There are underperformers in every industry, but many fewer in medicine.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@MrsPA_C Of our stuff and still going. My husband (also md) and I literally duel with selling our stuff online and donating to charities like every day. We said, "NEVER AGAIN." We move again next year and have already packed 90%! 🤣 Glad you are taking the lead! 🏆

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@MrsPA_C We experienced thr worst move of our life from a very unusual home sale (large estate) and we had amassed too many things from so many people. Let's just say we are still reeling from that 1.5 years later. I'm sure it was like 300 boxes, easy.
Anyway, I have donates over 60%...

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@lindsayyyyyyyyy @MrsPA_C Thank you! We dig deep and fight hard as moms!💕

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@MrsPA_C Yes, the blastulation process can vary dramatically based on so many factors. It is always amazing. I think Amy Schumer had something like 30+ eggs retrieved and 1 turned out to be a PGT-tested euploid. Very humbling how precious the process truly is.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@MrsPA_C It's all guesswork until you run the first cycle, start to finish, unfortunately. Definitely could be MFI. I have been through 12 rounds and this is a very humbling process. Very generous on your part.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@MrsPA_C Sounds like a lower dosage and it declines quickly. Lots of eggs plus high hcg could have intensified your ohss (risk). It is common to prescribe 10k units or higher.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@AshleyGWinter I always send an appreciation note. I feel like some providers deal with more heartbreaking cases than others (e.g. onc, OB and pathology) and deserve some sunshine.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@Dr_RShatsky OOF plus let your partners know you're out of reception.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@AshleyGWinter It's awful everywhere. Tried to make an offer on a house over the weekend and was beat by 5 offers in one evening that were 100k over asking. Insane and shocking they'll get appraised for offer price.

[Robin @RobinBulster]

@WendyHassonMD Think: Sprinkles Cupcake ATM, but for cinnamon rolls (limited public interaction!) Sorry if I sound like a pathologist.🤦‍♀️
