@SenDuckworth @GerryConnolly As a Federal employee, I participated in the FEHB program. Blue Cross/Blue Shield FEP didn't cover my #IVF treatments. I had to pay out of pocket.
@SenDuckworth @GerryConnolly #IVF only gives a woman a chance to have a baby, and the probability gets worse as a woman gets older. (1/2)
@SenDuckworth @GerryConnolly How often is assisted reproductive technology (ART) successful? See womenshealth.gov/a-z-topics/inf…
@SenDuckworth @GerryConnolly I was over 40 when I started fertility treatments. The average percentage of ART cycles that led to a live birth was only 11 percent in women aged 41-42
@SenDuckworth @GerryConnolly My failure makes me sad all over again. If this legislation is signed into law, female employees will have opportunities that I never had.
