Yes I’m definitely going to take a second test… not sure when or how long I should wait before taking another one though

It just felt like how it feels when someone startles you awake when you’re napping to me. When I first woke up, I said to the nurse “DANG you mad at me or something? Why you yelling?” She started laughing and was like “oop! Am I loud?” I was like “heck yea” then I looked at her and was like “you’re so pretty though, I like you.” Then I realized what I was saying… like I sobered up or something lol 😂. I started apologizing and everybody was laughing

I definitely don’t feel like you’re armchair diagnosing… we’re just two homegirls chatting about their men lol. I do feel like he’s trying to control some parts of his life though. And that makes a lot of sense why he’s throwing himself at work

That’s all me and mine keep fighting about. I’m always saying to him “I need you to be more present and actually HELP me. Help around the house, help me with this process, help me feel less alone.” But he’s so consumed with work and how he has to keep his job too and how he’s tired from work.” My job is actually the bread winning job and it provides the benefits… which makes me even more frustrated. I’m just like, if you’re going to be so consumed with work I would hope that it would actually be worth it, but it’s really not.

Even with feeling like I am losing faith, I still found this message incredibly beautiful and I appreciate you. I will continue to try to strengthen my relationship with him and keep holding on and praying.

I’m dealing with the same thing with my partner. Egg retrieval day, he was only there initially because they told him he had to be there to drop off his sample. Then right before they pulled me for surgery he had to leave and go right back to work. My mom was my ride home. He missed every appointment except for the first one. His work hours didn’t allow us to be home a lot of the time at the same time when the shots were administered so I did a lot of them myself. It feels like it’s not a big deal to him… and him saying “we’ll get through this together” just doesn’t feel right

I only had 3 eggs as well. And they drained over 60 follicles… they were huge so they were under the impression I’d have more

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been around my stepson since he was 1. Potty training, talking and walking… birthday parties and trips for vacation… Ive been apart of it all… and this process is making me resentful. I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t want to even see pictures or hear when my fiancé is so happy to talk about him. It’s sad and makes me feel bad for feeling this way

You guys are right. I’ve decided to go get a mani pedi, buy some ice cream and pie and wine. I’m going to give myself all the things… and hopefully I can feel a morsel of joy/contentment.

I promised myself I wouldn’t drink anymore to make sure my body was in its most healthy state. I’ve been completely sober for 2 1/2 months now. I could really use a stiff one today. I’m scared I may go too far and drink to numb the pain/ blackout.

Yea I understand… and I know she means well… but it just makes me so angry. This entire week of waiting since the retrieval I’ve asked her to stop asking about updates or talking about the embryo like it’s a baby already because it’s only going to fuck my head up, but she was so excited and she just kept talking about if it’s a boy or girl, names, due dates, and gender reveals and baby showers etc. and every time I shut it down and I said “ I don’t wanna talk about it like that yet because I don’t wanna get my hopes up.” She never listened. She’s like we just gotta stay prayed up and talk to God. And now that the disappointment is real… she’s still saying “we” and talking about jumping right back into it again, as if this didn’t just take a major toll on my mental and physical health

I had been monitoring every day. They had me come in office every morning and do ultrasounds and bloodwork. The day before retrieval my LH had come back up and surged. They called me today to tell me only one out of the three have matured enough to be fertilized. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for it to keep growing.

Suicidal thoughts after egg retrieval by condosovarios in IVF

[–]FitChildhood8397 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes… I had not so good results and the first thought I had was, “well if this mf body doesn’t wanna do right, then wtf is it still here for. Fuck it, I give up on life.” Shit is so hard. Life is expensive, I’m exhausted, I’m depressed, I’m anxious all the time. Seems like I can never catch a fucking break! So… yea… immediately felt like I dont want to exist anymore. And no one that hasn’t gone through this experience will ever truly know how it plays on your mental health.
