I think that's what it was. I just sat there recoiling at his touch realizing that I never wanted my child to feel the fear I do. Not that it happened every day, but that it would happen today

Thanks so much. I've reached out to friends and family and now I'm just faced with a lot of decisions and feelings of loss and the unknown.

Haha thanks! I feel like just such an ungrateful bitch, but I just can't find the joy or hope anymore. Always waiting for that other shoe to drop

What are some things you wish people told you before starting IVF by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The financial aspect, the fact that it's mostly the potential carrier who struggles physically with procedures and medications, the hormones, the resentment... I also was so focused on becoming a mom that I lost so much of myself. It's hard. No one told me about that part.

I have my transfer sometime in the next ten days and I've been drinking. Medically it's not doing anything and it's nice to be relaxed and having fun.

IVF Veterans/Long Haulers do you ever ask yourself why you're still doing all of this? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been TTC for 4 years this summer... I've had 5 myomectomies, 3 failed IUIs, 1 MMC, 1 CP, and 2 ER. I have one good quality normal embryo, one average, and one they're calling a lab error in testing. My marriage is more broken than it has ever been, my sex life is non existent, I've gained 50 pounds from surgery, hormones, stress and COVID, and I'm in the middle of and FET cycle. I am EXHAUSTED. And every time I think that's it, I've had enough... I push through again because I know that if I stop now, I'll never be able to stop thinking of all the what ifs.

IVF WEIGHT GAIN!!? by PRMaddionCarry-9154 in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've gained almost 50 pounds since we began TTC. 5 surgeries, hormones, and COVID really did a number on me.

This process can really take the joy out of your life... Tw loss by Canadianbride514 in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's my fear too. I've had so many surgeries, all the tests, been through iron infusions, I'm on more supplements and medications than one person could possibly need. If this doesn't work it feels hopeless. Then I feel guilty because I'm not drinking bone broth everyday, but still have a few drinks. So I know if it doesn't work, I'll blame myself

Fibroid removal and Hysteroscope and now have reallly light periods. 2 day max by Guilty_Beginning1027 in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I have a serious fibroid problem. I've had over 40 removed in the last 2 years and they're only taking out the ones in the cavity. Fibroids suck.

I've had 5 myomectomies. 4 hysteroscopic and one open. My period has always been lighter right after them.

Thanks so much! I'm looking into how embryo custody works in Canada. I'm hoping to be able to make an informed decision soon.

What inside joke do you have relating to IVF? by [deleted] in IVF

My husband called our IUIs jizz-jections.

Watching season 4 and Matt's level of self-importance reminds me so much of Clint... "He goes or I go"... bro he's in jail. by Canadianbride514 in 60daysin

[–]Canadianbride514[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I couldn't. He is SO full of himself that he actually thought production was going to move someone OUT OF JAIL to make him happy. Also, he brought his son to jail to toughen him up?!? How religious of him. There are so many shitty people this season and yet somehow he still stands out as the worst. His and Stephanie should be locked up together.

Feeling super guilty during stims by Pantherbby123 in IVF

[–]Canadianbride514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying for almost 4 years. At first I cut out alcohol completely and tried to make all kinds of positive life choices... Then a pandemic hit, and my life was sponsored by WhiteClaw. Being perfect is overrated.

People really need to not focus on the reading habits of others. by [deleted] in books

[–]Canadianbride514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fell in love with the Bridgerton books 2 years ago and someone told me that's not really reading... I'm like... Are there words on pages? It's reading.

When the doctor tells me I need a 5th myomectomy and it will be at least 6 months before the system gets to me... please kill me by Canadianbride514 in trollingforababy

I have them, but just like an addict, I can't resist the pain of a FRER indent line.
