I’m bugged by Fig’s IVF story. The writers were portraying the IVF process accurately until they melded it with the abortion storyline. During IVF, you go through a few weeks of stimulation to produce multiple eggs, which was shown with the shots Fig was getting. So far, so good. You also go in a few times a week for ultrasounds and bloodwork so the doc can evaluate how you are responding to the stimulation meds. There is no way the docs would have missed a 9 week pregnancy when she was getting so many ultrasounds. The embryo would be very visible on ultrasound at that point. Maybe they were trying to show the doc was just going along with Fig’s plan to help the immigrant woman, but, if so, the writers didn’t make it clear.
Also, why would Fig go to her fertility doc for abortion meds? Why not get the meds from another doc and continue with her IVF as planned? I get that the writers wanted to show Fig making a big personal sacrifice for the other woman, but the way they went about it was unrealistic.
