"The elimination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance team — a group of six epidemiologists, data analysts and researchers — shocked public health experts and IVF advocates who said they had felt encouraged by President Donald Trump’s comments supporting access to the infertility treatment."

NBC News · CDC's IVF team gutted even as Trump calls himself the 'fertilization president'By Berkeley Lovelace Jr.

So we only have two eggs that were mature AND got fertilized - last time we had four and pre-genetic testing showed that only one was viable. So I'm not feeling too hopeful about only two embryos going in for testing. :/

Rai suggested we could try IVF in India, which would be cheaper. I just wonder if my job would let me like... teach a semester remotely, for the sake of going through this process. Feels like most places wouldn't bother granting you that boon.

This skeet by the wonderful Vivian Jenna Wilson explains so much about why Elon Musk is so salty about trans people in general. He literally paid to have only sons, and then it turns out one of his children is a woman after all...

I cannot imagine the sheer amount courage that Vivian must have, defying her deadbeat biological father who just happens to be the richest man on earth, with quite literally every fibre of her being. May we all find strength like her to stand proud and tall in the face of the current transmisic shitstorm.

@wdlindsy It’s hard for me to go here. Everything that he was going to do has been out there for everyone to see for a very long time. People simply wanted to believe his #IVF empty promises and #Project2025 nondenial denial. And yet, maybe people aren’t seeing the same things I’m seeing. Maybe, despite the fact that it defies all logic to me, they have missed the incredible body of evidence out there that #Trump is nothing but a habitual liar who will say anything to get what he wants.
