yes. you just sign up with a sperm bank and cough up money. for maximum protections (both directions) you will want to involve licensed medical professionals on the usage end. so you should have a doctor looped in for ICI/IUI/IVF

as a person that gave birth to a child, married to a woman, no. stop. i also see a lot of disgusting sexism in the assumption that men cannot be solo parents or be partnered to other men that both want to be parents. you seem to know nothin

I honestly feel like hospitals (and other similar facilities) need to be designed to encourage this. Get dressed, and then what? You’re wandering the floor and it’s only long boring corridors and other patients resting. My dad frequents a n

The decision is easier when you have conversations and put wishes in writing before they are necessary. And update them as needed. My dad has ESRD and we've had some conversations about what he would want at the end. Many of the potent

it's fascinating, and those therapists already exist! infidelity and polyfidelity is as old as time... just that discovery is accelerated now. i am mid-ivf cycle right now, and we expect to have some embryos left over. it's been a

My spinal analgesia for an unplanned c-section utterly failed. My anesthesiologist thankfully kept it together and immediately went to our discussed plan B, but I felt so bad about it that I sent her a gift basket. I wonder how common that

Speaking as someone with infertility working on kid #2 via IVF right now, nothing positive comes out of wanting kids but not being able to have them. (Also with the big disclaimer that adopting children costs just as much if not more, in so

NHS coverage is a mixed bag. Other countries that offer full coverage of at least one cycle would be Sweden, France, and Belgium. A good like, half of Europe has some kind of at least partial public coverage of IVF. Compare to the US where

Ha, if the Lyft/Uber/taxi driver even gets to the address! It's a constant annoyance for many at my dad's dialysis clinic that every car service basically decides to stop in the middle of a lane on a large street and lea

I'm not the original transplant commenter if that was your intent :) I already know the numbers to expect calls from (and area codes, at minimum - which significantly narrows it down) and there's no way I'd waste my time answ

the solution is my watch is always on and buzzes for calls :) and the center has a lot of different people to contact that can contact each other. (we have a little geographic redundancy here.) but the reality of this is that, if you'r

there's no way they'll give up after a single phone call. but the transplant team and the person potentially receiving the transplant only have one hour to respond to a notification of an available organ before UNOS moves on to th

CA's screening program is not free. It costs $220 to participate, although insurance may cover that cost so it is free to the patient. Any followup care for people with fetuses at high risk of a birth defect is covered by the state tho

Screening generally doesn't affect the fetus and can help make a decision about whether or not to do a more invasive test in the absence of other risk factors. Most screening is also before the timeframe that you're able to perfor

I would guess a reason why Kaiser doesn't have a 95% price reduction is that offering a huge range of options for medical care means the overall cost goes up a bit to counter the more expensive needs of a minority of their members. Unl

You should ask your psych to look into something like Intuniv if you haven't already tried it. It seems to be a very promising medication - even if it's off label use for adult adhd - where you can even use it as an adjuvant to a
