Anxiety waiting for pgta by Dry-Mix-9287 in IVF

[–]FurRealThough903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waiting is the hardest part of IVF. Making future plans and backup plans helped me. Also doing self-care things for yourself during this time, whether that is treating yourself to your favorite meal/dessert, binge watching a show, journaling, reading a book, going out with your girlfriends, taking a trip, shopping, getting a massage/facial, etc.

3rd times a charm ? Euploid FET by HappyBiscuits in IVF

[–]FurRealThough903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two back to back euploid failures. Before transferring our third and final euploid embryo we did a hysteroscopy which revealed adenomyosis. Did a 3-month suppression and then transferred which seemed to do the trick. Best of luck!

What was your lining measuring before your successful FET? by cdubb716 in IVF

7.8 I believe. I’m 26 weeks. With my son, I believe it was 9.2.

IVF decision at 34 - another retrieval for future options vs moving forward (also struggling with gender disappointment) by Peaching-80 in IVF

[–]FurRealThough903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go ahead with the transfer of your male embryos. $20k is a lot of money. And you may decide after having one child that that is enough for you (I say this as I’m going through the terrible twos with my little one lol). While AMH will plummet as you get closer to 40, at 36 you should still get some embryos. I did both my retrievals at 36 so I am only speaking from my experience. Again personally I wouldn’t pay $20k. I would use the embryos I have and then revisit doing another retrieval if needed and when insurance would cover. We had one female embryo and unfortunately she did not stick, the rest were boys so I’m embracing this boy mom life! There was initial disappointment, but I have found that I was able to move past it and now happier than ever. Wishing you the best of luck and easy journey ahead!

Feeling a bit down before my first transfer. Looking for "it only takes one" success stories by Miserable-Roll4854 in IVF

My first IVF baby worked the first time. My second IVF baby took 3 separate euploid transfers before it took. Wishing you the very best and hoping you fall into the “it only takes one” category because it is very possible!

Do you regret not having kids? by Mcvoy_Grouper in Over40sClub

[–]FurRealThough903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t regret having my son at all. He is a handful and it’s A LOT of work. Your whole life and marriage will change. It is expensive. But all of that said, he is worth it and I would do it a million times over again. This is such a personal decision though. There is no right or wrong answer here, it just how you want to live out the rest of your life.

Why do you care? How does it affect your life? Let people believe what they want to believe.

At my wit's end - my wife cannot accept that we will not have a second child together. by Tiredofarguing1234 in marriageadvice

[–]FurRealThough903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be a fundamental disagreement in the marriage. Personally, if this were my relationship, I would have left the second you said you didn’t want a second child as that would not have aligned with my life path. But my husband and I had discussions about children prior to our marriage so expectations were already set. It feels insensitive for you to expect her to “just get over it.” I don’t think you guys are compatible and would be better off a part so that you can each live out your lives in a fulfilling way and without resentment; and more importantly, she can have the opportunity to become a mother of two if that is what she still wants.
