Thanks - yes, what we are missing in energy we make up for in stability so I think it will be fine! I'm a little nervous about the increased risks but the odds are still in our favor and they test the embryos now. Colleen, I've heard that is pretty common! It happened to my aunt and uncle. They tried for 10 years, did quite a few unsuccessful ivf rounds and were trying one last one before adopting. That worked for a baby boy and 2 years later they had a girl naturally. I think the body has an easier time getting pregnant after the first time in many cases. I hear so many stories of taking a year or more to get the first but the second was a one try kind of deal.

There are 3 vaccine candidates in Phase 3 trials in the US: September 01, 2020 Today the United States has three COVID-19 vaccine candidates in phase 3 trials, as AstraZeneca launched the final stage of a trial of its vaccine candidate, which it plans to test in 30,000 healthy adults. The AstraZeneca vaccine, developed at Oxford University, is already in a phase 3 trial in the United Kingdom. The first US volunteers were inoculated today at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, and AstraZeneca plans to add 50 participants each day after Sep 7. In addition to the AstraZeneca vaccine, Moderna’s vaccine candidate is already in phase 3 trials in the United States, as is Pfizer and BioNTech's. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/09/third-covid-vaccine-candidate-starts-phase-3-trial-us July 28, 2020 Pfizer and German biotech partner BioNTech have on the same day as rival Moderna kick-started a late-stage effort for their “best” attempt at an mRNA pandemic vaccine. Moderna announced early Monday that, alongside a near half-billion extra in Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority dollars, it has started a boosted 30,000-patient phase 3 for its vaccine; not to be left out, Pfizer and BioNTech announced after-hours that they too were starting a late-stage attempt. Unlike Moderna, however, the partners have four shots on target; we’ve already seen early data out from one, which showed an immune response and a manageable safety profile, but now the partners are putting forward a new shot on goal, which they think is better. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/pfizer-biontech-start-their-covid-vax-phase-3-squaring-off-moderna More than 150 coronavirus vaccines are in development across the world—and hopes are high to bring one to market in record time to ease the global crisis. Dozens of COVID-19 Vaccines are in Development

My ears perked up with this as I do have a shellfish allergy. From what I understand, the reactions was from people with severe allergies, and they were treated and fine. I will make sure to declare my allergies when I get the shot. I have not had any reactions to other vaccines (I got hep A and B vaccines last year, and had no issues) I used to eat shellfish and then one time about 25 years ago, after eating shrimp I broke out in crazy hives. I had no idea what was going on, as the hives came out a day after and kept going. I had never had this reaction before and actually thought maybe it was chicken pox. It was very uncomfortable, but no issues with breathing. I was tested later on and confirmed that I am allergic to shellfish. So of course, I avoid it . I have no problem if someone at the table is eating it as long as I don't.

"That's easy it is an as yet not totally recommended by the AMA, medicine." This is a bit of a non-sequitur. As far as any individual is concerned, the experts that matter are those who are now unmuzzled at the CDC and NIH and able to speak the truth. Listen to their recommendations and follow them, they're all like-minded in recommending the immunizations for everyone. If in doubt, ask your doctor, you'll hear the same story. . I have a number of healthcare providers in my family and all were very glad to be in the first tier for the vaccine so that they could feel more comfortable providing care to their patients among the general public. As the old saying goes, people vote with their feet. If physicians were happy to be given priority (and rightfully so), what more is there to know?
