Hi,

My husband and I are flying into Boston from NorCal for a wedding in Maine at the end of July (we will be spending 5 days near Bar Harbor). We are getting there 4 day ahead of our stay in Maine because we’d love to explore some other parts of the northeast as well!
Our main priorities are top notch running paths, water (ocean, lakes, river), outdoor recreation, great food, and more mellow/relaxed vibes. I did some research and was looking at checking out Warren/bristol Rhode Island and Burlington Vermont (which I realize is a little out of the way, but we are okay with that)!

Are these good spots for what we are looking for or would you prioritize something else!

Thanks so much!!

Hi!

My husband and I (both 29) found out he has no vas deferens, so we need to undergo IVF with ICSI after he has surgery to collect sperm. Via all the testing processes for infertility it seems I’m completely healthy.
Here’s the dilemma: I’ve been resistant to doing IVF because I’m an elite runner and my intention was to continue training through pregnancy (and I plan to continue competing for another 8-10 years), however with IVF you can’t continue training because of the risks of ovarian twist syndrome and all the hormones. So I found out about IVM and was like wow that seems like the perfect option for our case!

So long story short I was looking for people’s experiences with IVM- how is the process, is it truly less intensive? Did you have success?

Thank you so much!
