Two is not better than one....at Dominion Fertility!

Two are not better than one.....Two weeks ago I was zipping back to the Arlington office from the Fair Oaks location when suddenly there was a Virginia State Trooper on my tail with lights flashing. Ugh. I pulled over to the side on I-66 and dutifully awaited the officer's arrival. Honestly, I really had no idea what I had done. I was certainly not speeding. I wasn't weaving (heck, I can't even knit....that was from Robin Williams). I was using my hands free wired ear buds (to avoid brain cancer from my iPhone). What on Earth had I done wrong?

The answer came as swift justice. It is illegal to drive in the Commonwealth of Virginia with both ear buds in place. One is OK, two not so much. Seemed logical and yet I honestly never knew that this was actually illegal. Neither did my insurance agent. Neither did my wife or kids or anyone at my office. Go figure. You would think that in this day and age where every item contains instructions that are beyond simplistic that my ear buds would have a big sticker on them that read: "Hey MORON, don't drive with both ear buds in your ears!"

The same is true when it comes to deciding to transfer 1 vs. 2 embryos. 1 is safer and makes more sense. True you can get away with 2 most of the time. Some patients will have twins but most will not. But some patients with twins deliver extremely premature babies that don't survive or who struggle with lifelong health issues. One is better. Just like when driving along I-66 with your ear buds in place!
