- It took *seven* (7) rounds of fertility treatment and two late pregnancy losses. Between having Kallmann syndrome, low AMH/DOR, husband and I carrying a lethal disease, and general age-related aneuploidy risk, the chances of a live birth were 3%. Never say miracles don't happen.
- Despite FFP3 glued to my face having all meals outside going to bathroom in basement doing all in-person meetings outside, after 4 days at BMC, this happens. That is how much COVID there is in Sweden.
- 12 months ago, 7th round of fertility treatment after two late pregnancy losses, physically and emotionally exhausted one last attempt before giving up, vs. today. 3% chance of live birth. Our little probability-defying miracle.
- I remember how nervous I was moving half way across the world to CA on my own at 25. Today, just over 15 years later, I'm a #newUSCitizen.
- Replying to @jtrebachKids are brutal. Me, wearing eye makeup for the first time in a while. 2yo: "Mommy eye broken. Take it off!". Sigh.
- Really looking forward to joining the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at @GeorgiaTech this fall. @GT_CHEM Excited about new things to come: my group will be hiring, come join us! chemistry.gatech.edu/new-faculty-meโฆ
- Welcome to the world Baby L ๐
- Good morning sleepy head! Since things are looking good with both Mom and Baby L, we will hopefully be discharged and get to go home in a few hours ๐
- Thanks for all the good vibes, Baby L is growing exactly on schedule with no signs of SRP. She has also started early breathing practice so I feel like someone is snorkeling in my stomach. She says hi! ๐
- Baby L is looking ok so far!! Everything is developing exactly as it should. Things can still show up so I have my next anatomy scan in 4 weeks, but this is a huge milestone ๐
- Really happy and honored to have been awarded the prestigious Lilly och Sven Thurรฉus prize 2020 from the natural history-medicine class of the Royal Society of Sciences at Uppsala, for my enzyme evolution work (condensed prize citation). Such great news!! โค๏ธ๐๐พ
- Replying to @choo_ekI have a feeling the President of Ukraine has slightly bigger things on his mind than where his suits are currently located. And his suit collection is just fine, for what it's worth.
