Is this thing on?

What's up everyone? Who is working from home? Who has to go to work? How is life?

I'm here! Just got back from vacation. It was wonderful and relaxing until the end when we were worried about traveling home safely. Now anxious about covid-19, especially because I work in healthcare. I was back at work today, and it was helpful to learn that my colleagues are as nervous about it as I am. My husband is working from home.

I'm realizing that this is going to delay any potential chance at me seeing an immunologist about getting IVIG, which I was told is essentially the only way I would keep from miscarrying again. The reproductive immunology office said sometimes a regular immunologist can get it through insurance, and it is way to expensive to do without insurance.

On the plus side, we moved last spring and still haven't finished getting things up on the wall, etc. Hopefully by the end of this, our house will finally look like we really live here?

I can definitely see how it is making you anxious given your work. I am slightly anxious about it and I work from home. My husband doesn't but he could his workplace just hasn't done it yet. But now we won't go see my in laws because they are immune compromised and we don't want to be carriers and get them sick.

Silver lining about the house. We are moving this summer. Not sure what it means for us for treatment yet. We just had another chemical. We have two embryos left one normal one no results. My wtf appointment isn't til end of April and we move end of June so yeh.

I’m here too. We’re in manufacturing in Ontario so we’re KOKO with a crap ton additional precautions. I feel like I’ve done nothing but update our response plan and make announcements to our staff.

All non essential doctors offices are closed or have moved to a telehealth model, and all labs have converted to essential services only. So who wants to guess how much longer I’ll be waiting for our DNA karyotyping results? Sigh. I get it, but it’s already been a long wait. 100% irrational irritation.

I'm here too. We are on hold until some of this covid-19 starts to get better. I don't want to take any chances and add any stress. It also doesn't help that am self quarantining (by choice). After I came back from a trip a couple weeks ago I started coughing a couple days later so I don't want to take any chances. I feel fine other than a cough that won't go away.

Honestly I think that’s optimistic.

You are probably right.

So my DNA results are in. I get them on Monday. It took 9 months to get them. The irony of this is not lost on me.

[pinkpeony08]

achi of course if it was taking a long time, 9 months seems most appropriate. I hope it provides some useful information.

I'm working from home which isn't a change for me since I've been doing it the last 8-9 years. I went in March for a hysteroscopy and was going to start meds for retrieval#2 but it got cancelled for covid. I also was incredibly sick prior to starting and found out I did have the virus so it's a good thing we waited. Our clinic is back open and we had already paid for IVF#2 but I just can't get myself to start yet. There's still way to many new cases for me to feel comfortable.
