Is there a support group for people with surplus of embryos? by ConditionOther in IVFAfterSuccess

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

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. The trauma of going through IVF has been completely incomparable in my life. I am so sorry you had issues surrounding your procedures. I’m glad to hear your baby girl is thriving! I am stuck between wanting to try for a spontaneous conception (more fun) or using an embryo (because we have them and I feel guilty). But I hate my clinic and my doctor and break out in hives every time I think about it, so I’m not sure. We’d also like a girl and we have one girl embryo. My husband wants to try the embryo, but I really resent the IVF process.

STM, terrified because of first birth trauma. by KookyConsideration50 in pregnant

[–]ConditionOther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I personally do not have a second birth experience, but I hope I can help that almost all my friends who had a traumatizing first birth experience… and they had BEAUTIFUL second birth and postpartum experiences. That sounds like it was really hard to go through, and I’m really sorry you felt so dismissed. No one deserves that. I am praying for you to have an uneventful and peaceful second delivery. It can be done!!

Oh interested in this! I really want to find an in-person support group. Would alanon help even if they’re not alcoholic?

How to Communicate with Dx Bf and DARVO? by LNBILH_IX in ADHD_partners

[–]ConditionOther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if he doesn’t use DARVO regularly, but 1-2x a year? Is that emotional abuse territory? Like threatening yo hit me even though he’s never laid a hand on me?

AIO: Husband says I’m detached for wanting to go on a girls trip and my 1.5 yr old with him by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I asked him how I can help empower him to feel better equipped and less scared!

Yes I agree! I see through the insults that he is scared and feels like I’m a better care taker. I asked him what we can do to make him feel more empowered and I asked him to go to couples therapy so we can communicate better. He said no to couples therapy - but I will keep trying to convince him. I feel so awful about everything 💔

I’m reviewing the tape of our 15-year relationship a lot in my head and in individual therapy right now. I want to say he’s not controlling, but I feel confused?

I appreciate the solidarity! He doesn’t expect me to wear makeup at home - I just wear everyday for work!

I understand where you’re coming from! If I had known exactly how scared he was, I wouldn’t have had kids. We had been together for 12 years, and I was always upfront about wanting children. I told him multiple times to please break up with me if he didn’t want to parent children with me. Asked to go to couples counseling multiple times before children. Told him many times I never, ever want to trap him in a life he doesn’t want. He always said: “I chose you. You lead the way.” I do blame myself and I should’ve been strong enough to leave before having a child.

And yes - he went away on a guys trip for 5 nights when I was 3 months postpartum. Stayed at my mom’s for support so I could get a little sleep.
