[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched The movie and enjoyed it.  It was very true to life and wonderfully acted. [/quote]

I have not finished it yet but the scene about the PIO shot was perfect.  And Kathryn Hahn is great, as always.[/quote]

It's funny. I heard an interview (Fresh Air) where they talked a lot about that scene and it made me not want to see the movie. For me, so really just my opinion, infertility was hard enough without added layers of emotion for dramatic effect. The shots were all business with no thought before or after (even when in the bathroom of the Kennedy Center or whatever). It just seems like adding pity in whatever places it can fit isn't helpful.[/quote]

Since it is a PIO shot and those are tricky, I thought that scene was great. It was clear that the screenwriter had gone through IVF the way the husband kept saying "it was supposed to be the top outer quadrant", which was exactly the advice we had been given about how to do the PIO shot. And then they screen cuts to "36 hours later," which is of course exactly when you would go for your retrieval. That and the fridge full of menopur made me feel like this movie captured IVF much better than other movies about infertility.

I did the stim shots from all sorts of crazy places (Starbucks bathrooms, Busboys and Poets) but those PIO shots required serious attention (at least for me).[/quote]
