This morning, I took the ferry and then a cab to the clinic where my retrieval was scheduled. A $5 ferry ride and a $20 cab ride that took as long or longer than a train and walking, combined, would...

The lab didn’t call me today and I didn’t hear from the RE’s office either … so at 4:30PM I picked up the phone and called them. I got the front desk nurse and she said that the embryologist wasn’t in...
