Also in the Alabama ruling on frozen embryos is this:
“Doctors must create just one embryo at a time. Each embryo, no matter how poor its quality, must be transferred. Only one embryo may be transferred at a time. If the cycle fails, the whole process must start all over again.
IVF patients would have to accept the transfer of a single low-quality embryo that is certain to fail—and to do so one embryo at a time. Each transfer requires months’ worth of expensive medication, including injectable, both before and after the procedure. And each failed cycle requires the patient to start all over again. Most states (including Alabama) do not require insurance to cover IVF, and each cycle can cost up to $30,000. This would force patients—the ones who can afford it—to undergo doomed, single-embryo transfers, one by one.”
If you know ANYONE who has been through IVF, you know exactly how fucking cruel this is.
My son’s daycare (12-24 months) is impeccable.
The teachers are empathetic, his social skills advance every week, and he’s always surprising us with new things he’s learned. But it costs $2k a month.
This type of child care should be free for every American family.
THE BEAR premiered around this time last year, coinciding with the anniversary of the suicide of one of my best friends. a lot of shows and movies rn pay lip service to grief and none of them have remotely approached the truth of the line “I lost track of time and then he died.”
I feel like we need to keep making noise about the Shiny Happy People doc until @Discovery answers for why they decided to give adult women’s salaries to their father without their permission.
If you are 1 in 8, repeat after me..
Infertility is not my fault
Infertility is not my fault
Infertility is not my fault
💪 Carry on. You’ve got this!

If you thought we were overreacting about the overturn of Roe let me present:
Abortion bills in Wyoming, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas. Some of these clearly prohibit IVF as we know it. All impact reproductive care and risk maternal life.
Your IVF docs have been warning of this.
