Clips from Master of None (2015) - Moments in Love, Chapter 4 (S03E03)

"[Alicia chuckles softly]"
Master of None (2015)
"So, a woman's fertility peaks when she's in her 20s,"
Master of None (2015)
"and then it slowly starts to decline."
Master of None (2015)
"When she gets to about 37, the decline becomes more rapid."
Master of None (2015)
"And after turning 40, it's very difficult to become pregnant"
Master of None (2015)
"even with the most aggressive fertility treatment."
Master of None (2015)
"We're talking less than 5%."
Master of None (2015)
"[inhales deeply]"
Master of None (2015)
"-You are 37. -Yes."
Master of None (2015)
"So you are on the declining part of this graph here."
Master of None (2015)
"that you should factor into any decisions that you make."
Master of None (2015)
"Given your medical history,"
Master of None (2015)
"in vitro fertilization is your best option."
Master of None (2015)
"With IVF, the goal is to stimulate the body"
Master of None (2015)
"to create as many viable eggs as possible."
Master of None (2015)
"We then retrieve those eggs,"
Master of None (2015)
"inseminate them with the sperm, grow the embryos,"
Master of None (2015)
"and then we choose the best embryos to implant into your uterus,"
Master of None (2015)
"[exhales] It's a lot of… information."
Master of None (2015)
"Um, okay, uh, what are the chances of it working?"
Master of None (2015)
"Uh, with someone of your age and profile,"
Master of None (2015)
"on average, 30% to 40%."
Master of None (2015)
"But every woman's body is different, and we could hit roadblocks at any stage."
Master of None (2015)
"-[softly] Okay. -One thing we need to factor in is cost."
Master of None (2015)
"Your insurance company does cover IVF…"
Master of None (2015)
"-Mmm-hmm. -…but it's complicated."
Master of None (2015)
"We have to prove that you are infertile,"
Master of None (2015)
"and that you have been trying to conceive with a partner for six months."
Master of None (2015)
"What does that mean in regards to me and my sexuality? Uh…"
Master of None (2015)
"What do… They don't have a policy for queer people?"
Master of None (2015)
"The insurance company needs a diagnosis code"
Master of None (2015)
"in order to confer benefit."
Master of None (2015)
"The majority of American insurance companies"
Master of None (2015)
"do not have a code for "gay and desires pregnancy""
Master of None (2015)
"They have a code for being attacked by an orca,"
Master of None (2015)
"and they have a code for being sucked into a jet engine,"
Master of None (2015)
"but not for "gay and desires pregnancy.""
Master of None (2015)
"But my office, uh, has dealt with this a number of times. We'll do our best."
Master of None (2015)
"The fact that your fallopian tubes are blocked,"
Master of None (2015)
"we can use that as an argument with the insurance company."
Master of None (2015)
"But they may not cover some of the embryology,"
Master of None (2015)
"and they may not cover some of the medication."
Master of None (2015)
"So you would still be looking at spending between seven and ten thousand dollars"
Master of None (2015)
"out of pocket."
Master of None (2015)
"Doesn't that make it cheaper?"
Master of None (2015)
"No, it makes it more expensive"
Master of None (2015)
"because we would have to test and screen his sperm."
Master of None (2015)
"that would have already been through the process."
Master of None (2015)
"they don't have to get their sperm tested?"
Master of None (2015)
"No, because you've already been having intercourse,"
Master of None (2015)
"and therefore, assumed the risk of, uh, transmitting an infectious disease."
Master of None (2015)
"That's what the screening is there, to reduce that risk."
Master of None (2015)
"That's mad. That's… [scoffs] so unfair."
Master of None (2015)
"[chuckles] It's mad."
Master of None (2015)
"I will write up everything that we've talked about,"
Master of None (2015)
"and I will send that to you, so you have it clear."
Master of None (2015)
"You can take your time to read it, go over it."
Master of None (2015)
"There's information on the website,"
Master of None (2015)
"and you can call the office anytime if you have any questions."
Master of None (2015)
"So, you don't think you wanna do it anymore?"
Master of None (2015)
"Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know. After all of that, um…"
Master of None (2015)
"I'm just a bit freaked out, to be honest."
Master of None (2015)
"Like, it's more expensive than I thought."
Master of None (2015)
"After all of that, it might not even work. I might not even get a kid out of it."
Master of None (2015)
"[boy screaming]"
Master of None (2015)
"It's too spicy, it's too spicy!"
Master of None (2015)
"I can't take it! It's too spicy. I can't take it, Dad."
Master of None (2015)
"[man] I understand it's too spicy, but you can't scream in a restaurant."
Master of None (2015)
"[boy] Oh, I can't take it!"
Master of None (2015)
"[man] Cameron, please."
Master of None (2015)
"I really want that. [laughing]"
Master of None (2015)
"You… That's what you want?"
Master of None (2015)
"-A kid that can't handle spicy food? -Yeah. [sniffles]"
Master of None (2015)
"[chuckling] I want a kid who can't handle spicy food. It's adorable."
Master of None (2015)
"[sighs] I just… I don't know. I don't know."
Master of None (2015)
"Okay, so, hypothetically…"
Master of None (2015)
"Yeah?"
Master of None (2015)
"-Uh, if you did do it… -Mmm-hmm."
Master of None (2015)
"…would my role be the same? Just swing by the house?"
Master of None (2015)
"you would, this time, go to a clinic."
Master of None (2015)
"So I just need to go to the hospital and jerk off into a cup?"
Master of None (2015)
"[chuckles] Yeah. Maybe say it quietly in a restaurant, but, yeah."
Master of None (2015)
"And, you know, they would have videos for you…"
Master of None (2015)
"[groans] I feel like the porn they have in hospitals is always kind of weird."
Master of None (2015)
"-Oh? -I'll bring my phone."
Master of None (2015)
"You go to hospitals a lot and check out their porn?"
Master of None (2015)
"Well, you know…"
Master of None (2015)
"[laughing] That's funny."
Master of None (2015)
"You're a great person, and you'll be a great parent."
Master of None (2015)
"I'm happy to help in any way that I can."
Master of None (2015)
"Thank you."
Master of None (2015)
"Do you want me to be involved beyond the donation?"
Master of None (2015)
"Do you want me to come to the appointments,"
Master of None (2015)
"or help with the injections, or anything?"
Master of None (2015)
"[sighs] No. No, I think I got it, you know?"
Master of None (2015)
"If I do this, I wanna do it by myself."
Master of None (2015)
"You just have to do your thing in the cup, and then I'll… I'll sort out the rest."
Master of None (2015)
"I'm here however you need me."
Master of None (2015)
"[chuckles] Thank you."
Master of None (2015)
"-Yeah, I guess, like… -[clears throat]"
Master of None (2015)
"…one of the things I'm worried about is the money."
Master of None (2015)
"You know, like…"
Master of None (2015)
"I could borrow some money from my mom, get out a loan."
Master of None (2015)
"I have savings, but…"
Master of None (2015)
"Oh, my gosh, the other day, I saw this amazing retail space."
Master of None (2015)
"Still thinking about opening up your own antique shop?"
Master of None (2015)
"and to have a physical space would be so cool."
Master of None (2015)
"Where is it?"
Master of None (2015)
"-It's in Boerum Hill. -Hmm."
Master of None (2015)
"It needs a bit of work and stuff,"
Master of None (2015)
"but it would just be… I don't know."
Master of None (2015)
"[chuckles]"
Master of None (2015)
"Are you gonna be able to afford both?"
Master of None (2015)
"I think so."
Master of None (2015)
"But that's the thing, like, I could…"
Master of None (2015)
"I could spend all that money,"
Master of None (2015)
"Mmm."
Master of None (2015)
"And then have nothing."
Master of None (2015)
"So… Don't know. Do you know anyone who's gone through it?"
Master of None (2015)
"-One of my friends did it back in the day. -Mmm."
Master of None (2015)
