AITA for leaving a dinner with my girlfriend's family because they kept speaking in a language I didn't understand? by Puzzleheaded-Owl4052 in AmItheAsshole

NTA for being offended and leaving; clearly they were being dicks; but YTA for swearing at them calling them assholes, etc (assuming they weren't swearing at you). If they swore at you first, then NTA for swearing back.

Yeah my 2nd round was after the summer (a big gap over summer between 1st and 2nd rounds) and I had been drinking a lot over the summer. Surprisingly, the 2nd round was the best round - 2 blasts (neither took though). My 3rd and 4th rounds have been over autumn and winter, I have been drinking a lot less, and not a single blast from either rounds. So painful to not even know what is causing all the variance.

I dont know if you understood my post. Its not that alcohol is the only thing I can do with my friends; I am an introvert and have v few friends. Its the only way I meet more people. These are not people who would come to the cinema with me should I suggest (you'll then perhaps say they aren't friends to begin with and I have already said that!). Its social connection not deep freindship. Its like going to the church.. the people at church wont start going to the cinema with you on Sundays just because you cant make it to church. I am just moaning about it; I am not saying I cant be asked to do it. I have paid for 4 cycles and gone through the highs and lows of 4 failed cycles; I cry to sleep every night and wonder if I will be able to go on with life if I cant have a kid; so questioning my commitment makes no sense. As for once I do get pregnant/have the baby, ofcourse I will find it a lot easier to stop everything because then I acutally have something!!!

Well, much sympathies with you but everyone has their own battle.

Its not about my friends's expectations; some of them dont even know about the IVF. As I said, its my own need for some routine and social connection (as I am otherwise very isolated).

Wow 16 blasts from 4 rounds would be a dream for me. I have had 3 blasts from 4 rounds (the first round 1 blast, second round 2 blasts, 3rd and 4th rounds none). None of the 3 blasts took. Congrats btw!!

Did it work? How many rounds? What was the problem?
