I echo the sentiments above. Thank you all so much. This is so important, and I so appreciate your willingness to share your stories.

Thank you for sharing your paths.

Thank you :)

Thank you all so much for sharing about all of your (incredibly personal) journeys. We need more women examples willing to share candidly about things they wish they had known earlier and bringing light to a taboo subject that so many women in medicine feel like they can’t talk about or ask for advice on for fear of judgment or career harm. And thank you Dr. Buesing for giving examples of how to advocate for ourselves and push for more awareness!

Thank you for sharing your stories. Can anyone speak to having a child if you’re single or non-traditional family planning

thank you to all who shared their amazing and very personal journeys; this was very helpful and i so appreciate the opportunity to learn from you. i have to leave early for another meeting but if there is a mailing list for this group or something similar, would love to be included. thank you!!

Dr. Mueller - I just went through an egg freezing cycle as a resident and I think this is perfect advice for how to make it work with your program

Wondering if any one in the group has knowledge about or experience with adoption from the US?

Also wondering people thoughts on finances of IVF / egg freezing, its so expensive and not covered by insurance.

I know this is not an option for most, but if anyone is interested in international IVF, I’m happy to talk to you about my experience. The procedures in the UK are much more affordable, if you have about 2 weeks you can spend abroad. Stanford REI was very supportive in helping me with my baseline tests and then I traveled to the UK for the procedures (lesley.park@stanford.edu)

thank you all for sharing! How do you balance being a present parent while being successful at your work?

In case anyone needs more than a Yelp review, I’m currently patient at Stanford IVF and have had most of the procedures and worked with most of the doctors. My overall review is neutral, but feel free to email me acwat@stanford.edu if I can help.

I wish this were a full day seminar! Thank you all for being incredibly open and honest - this has been so refreshing.

I am currently a new patient at Stanford, thanks so much for all your input. Did not realize how expensive it could be…

Thank you so much! I’m so grateful to hearing the stories and have this community for the support!

Thank you everyone for this powerful talk!
