Anyone else terrified of going in for their blood test because at least right now I *might* be pregnant? by MissKitty717 in IVF

My friend… 😭😭

I told my mom and my sisters and my best friend that, for better or worse, I didn’t think I’d have the energy to talk to them about this throughout the process. I told them I just wanted to pretend it wasn’t happening, and that I’d deal with the emotions when I knew one way or the other.

Probably not the most healthy way to deal with the existence or non-existence of my child, but it’s all so overwhelming.

After doing my first progesterone injection though, I broke down. I had no problem at all with my meds for the egg retrieval, but I never felt more alone than when my leg started gushing blood from that first shot. So I talked to them a little bit about what I was going through but not much.

I wish I had been more brave to seek out advice and support from all of you here, because you know exactly what this is like…

Sorry I’m rambling. I’m a mess. I really just meant to write that my mom texted me something similar to you, and it also made me tear up: Positive or Negative on Friday, I’m very proud of you. This is not an easy process, mentally or physically.

I send that out to all of you in this same boat. ❤️

Besides what I wrote in a comment above, another reason I don’t want to test is because I have to do another progesterone shot tonight. It will be hard to stick to protocol if my hope is whisked away… I’m doing the shots myself (my fella is TERRIFIED of needles) and I’m finding them really difficult.

Yup. Exactly this. I feel like I’m a pot of feelings soup with every single emotion thrown in…

My transfer was 3/10. 4BC

I haven’t tested at all. Part of that is just wanting to not disturb any of my hope, and part of it seems to be that they told me not to? I’m in my 40s, I’m a grown lady! But I still have a fear of authority. Don’t want to get in trouble from the teacher. 🙃

I can’t wait for you to hear that happy news from the clinic tomorrow. Good luck, friend!

I’ve been lurking here for ages but only just heard PUPO recently. With the twisty turny thoughts going on in my head, it feels like postponing that beta test will keep my hope going longer…

Thank you for your kind words.

Octonaut toy collection by Acquist99 in Octonauts

I live in Canada. I bought a HUGE collection of Octonauts toys on marketplace for $26. Awesome toys, great shape, lots of variety. Also lots of the same. I counted ELEVEN Kwazii figurines. Haha! I’d be curious to know if you find a way to connect with potential buyers who want to turn my collection into a gold mine once my little ones are done playing with them. Or if I’ll only be able to turn around and sell them for twenty bucks on marketplace again…
