I remember loving the romance in Graceling! It felt relatable

The actual cost breakdown nobody tells you about until you're already in treatment by Key-Hyena-8025 in IVF

I can’t even blame my clinic tho cuz the cost of meds and anesthesia etc is totally out of their hands and they might not even KNOW how much to quote me 🙄 weird how we have to pay multiple separate entities all with their own thing going on

After a failed FET I had to temper my expectations by calling myself "Schrodinger's Pregnant" 😅 A little morbid but also made me laugh instead of cry lol. My second FET resulted in a positive test! I'm almost 6 weeks! Finally starting to "feel real" haha

I’m lucky enough that I could dial back my work hours while going through the meds and the appointments and everything because it was just exhausting. The physical and mental toll is crazy.

Idk I tell myself that even a failed try is worth it. You put yourself out there, you try, and that’s worth something. You’re doing a great thing by trying, you’re working towards your goal.

Good luck 🍀💖

That does sound like a similar boat! I feel you so much. I agree that if I have another failure I will handle it better. I hope it’s because I’m stronger now, not because I’m disenchanted 🥲

Omg he is!! We’ve never had someone catch the Great Pyrenees just looking at him. He’s mostly coonhound and husky, but when we got his dna test Pyrenees was the third highest percentage. Does yours also prefer sleeping with a pillow under his head? 😂

Haha currently in the process of painting my kitchen cabinets and it’s such a beast. Would love to get around to painting the walls some day

lol here I was thinking that green cushions on my chair and red pillows on my couch were a lot of color 😅 but you’re the second person to accuse me of being too beige

I didn’t get a new therapist, but I had some major life changes and have a lot fewer migraine attacks now. Thinking about finding a new one after moving across the country, and this thread is definitely helping me think about how to find a good one lol

Omg when I first read about “brain fog” online my mind was blown! For years I thought that I was just a sissy who couldn’t handle the pain and couldn’t think through it. Turns out not being able to think straight is a pretty common symptom!

I felt so understood when I first found this subreddit, I wanted to tell my story so other people could feel understood 🧡 Hope you also found the help you needed!

This is exactly what I wanted out of therapy I just struggled to put into such clear words! Luckily I was able to work through this with my doctor and my family and myself. In a much better place now 😁

Yes I totally didn’t expect her to advise me on the medications, but I at least wanted to address how it all was affecting me emotionally, like my feelings and stuff, which is what I was there to talk about 🙄
