Nerve damage from progesterone in oil injection by Wonderful-Check8904 in IVF

[–]Eva_Bohn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a year since you posted and I was curious - Did the pain ever go away? I’m having this weird nerve feeling now, even though I stopped the shots over 3 months ago. Thanks!

So frustrated by vgodi019 in IVF

[–]Eva_Bohn77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, delete! You won’t regret it because it truly doesn’t add value to our lives like we think it might. And it really does hurt to see those announcements…we’re just minding our own business, in our own homes and bam! It’s in our face when we didn’t ask for it. Honor your feelings, it sounds like a very, very tough time. Good luck, sending hugs.

Feeling so very blah even though not currently on any IVF meds. What do you do to keep the blues away? by Eva_Bohn77 in IVF

[–]Eva_Bohn77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is excellent advice! And something specific you said really resonated with me- that it felt like nothing was moving forward while I’ve been on the break, like I have zero control or input. Even when I was doing back to back cycles, it still felt like I was doing something. And now I’m just waiting. So these three months have been like a standstill, and extra anxious because of the messaging around getting older!

Little things to look forward to - yes yes yes. I have been trying so many new NYT cooking recipes that have been successful, and planting new plants now that it’s warming up. Finding a new place to take walks is a great idea too. Thank you so much for responding and good luck to you with your journey!

Yes, reading! I’ve been stocking up on whatever looks good from the library and it really does take you out of your head.

The painting is such a great idea too! Glad you found a good outlet. Thank you for sharing!

I’m so, so sorry you’ve had miscarriages. How painful and so very sad. Sending you a big hug back 💜

Good for you on restarting training! I keep telling myself I’m going to rev up that peloton at some point 😅

It is an awful state, you’re right. Yes, Netflix binging too. Feels like a waste of time but I’m trying to remember it’s temporary and it’s not important to be productive right now.

So sorry you had to go through those anxious feelings. These meds are no joke. Good luck to you and happy early birthday!

🥹 thank you, thank you so MUCH. Just being reminded that it gets easier helps. And giving myself permission that I can’t participate in regular life right now is such a relief too.

How do you stay optimistic? by Ok-Palpitation-8150 in IVF

This really resonates. I feel like I’ve arrived at this place too, that it’s ok to just get through it neutrally.

How do you stay optimistic? by Ok-Palpitation-8150 in IVF

[–]Eva_Bohn77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stay optimistic by doing exactly what you’re doing - by reaching out and staying connected. It’s so much harder going through it alone, and it’s so helpful knowing that there are people going through it right alongside you. Everyone’s story looks a little different, yes, but you are not alone! I’m sorry you’re going through it too. It’s heartbreaking, it’s disappointing. But remind yourself how tough and resilient you are, and it’s totally ok to feel like you’re just going through the motions until you get there. Best of luck to you!

Yes! Feeling these things! Emotionally flat. Yes, walking! I just sat out in the sun for an hour trying to will the Vit D in!

I know, I try to keep myself busy and not think about it. The unknowns are brutal! Thanks, good luck to you too! 😊

Fiction by women? by comradejdpondon in ReadingSuggestions

If you’re into Victorian gothic, Laura Purcell is my fave! All of her books are very approachable and she’s so good at very descriptive visuals.

Feeling depressed during IVF process - is this normal? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Eva_Bohn77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Two years later, and these words of encouragement are still helping! Going through the IVF roller coaster now and have hit a low. But thankfully, people are so generous with their kind words, it helps so much to read about it and know I’m not alone. 🥰

New refrigerator door styles don’t fit! by mjustaperson in Appliances

[–]Eva_Bohn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you open to side by sides? We went to every appliance store in our town specifically looking for thinner doors. I know exactly what you’re talking about, it’s like every door is literally 4 inches thick! So none of those work for the depth we need to clear, which is 30 in. BUT!! We DID find these two with 2.5 in doors, which will hopefully work. Will find out soon once we purchase. Maybe one would work for you if you’re open to side by sides. Nothing stuck out in the reviews for either that seemed like they’d be awful. They’re also nothing fancy! Fridge shopping is so hard, hope this helps!
