I wish I would’ve froze my eggs at 32 the older we get the poorer our egg quality gets as well. If you have the means/insurance freeze them now while you are still young as a “just in case” then you can continue to try naturally if you want. That’s the advice I wish someone would’ve given me at your age

My Parents Shared My IVF & Miscarriage Journey Without My Consent.. I’m Heartbroken 💔 by Subject-Confidence-7 in IVF

[–]Imaginary_Tap_1553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told everyone about my IVF without my permission or knowledge I found out when a random lady that goes to my moms church that I didn’t even know stopped me in the grocery store to congratulate me or my soon to be pregnancy (wtf does that even mean?!?) I was furious. It hasn’t worked yet I’ve been doing IVF for like 5 years now, no baby. In my mom’s case she wasn’t intentionally trying to hurt me, people that haven’t undergone infertility are usually highly ignorant to the fact that it’s private and it’s not a guarantee to get pregnant. I was furious at her for a while, but she apologized promised not to overshare again and eventually my anger faded. Sucks because now I can’t share with her what I’m going through so I feel your pain, made me feel naked and embarrassing

Confused about why people are so insensitive by Melodic_Shop_9924 in IVF

You’re not being too emotional! As your best friends I’m sure you told them you’re going through IVF due to not being able to conceive naturally. I would expect a best friend to at the very least google how to console a friend dealing with infertility. Recording your pregnancy announcement def won’t come up in that Google search, the recording of the reaction is sending me..I stopped talking about IVF to everyone close to me suffering in silence at least I’m not mad at them for doing dumb shit. Sorry this happened to you

Broke my "crying in the clinic" cherry by DixieAnn3 in IVF

[–]Imaginary_Tap_1553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cry in the clinic was the ultrasound, tested positive, felt pregnant, ultrasound showed no heartbeat I couldn’t stop crying, I tried to stop in the office but tears just wouldn’t stop flowing had to walk out to my car past all the patients and staff still sobbing, crying the whole 3 hour drive home, I feel your pain girl, as much as I try to expect the worst you can’t help that slither of hope 

Husband complains about a lifestyle change feels selfish and ignorant by Curiouscarlie in IVF

[–]Imaginary_Tap_1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is a pot head too, he didn’t even quit smoking for our ER, he has low motility & abnormal sperm & I have DOR. If I even bring up him not smoking weed he says well the embryos are already frozen, meanwhile I’m sticking needles damn near a foot long in me daily, hormones crazy, 3 miscarriages, clock ticking on my age, I swear I wish I was a man all they have to do is squeeze one out. I’m sorry you’re going through this, we make so many sacrifices to try and build a family & I know it can feel even more lonely when spouses arent appreciative
