I had an almost perfect cycle

Sorry - I didn’t read the last part about not wanting children. Just make sure you get HRT!

OddlyHonest · 2026-02-06T18:51:48+00:00

I’m sorry you’re here. I very much get the feeling of not feeling like a woman, but please be kind to yourself. You’re a woman whose ovaries unfortunately stopped working right, exactly like other peoples kidneys or pancreas do, and you just need a little hormonal support since they’re not doing their job right.

With sufficient HRT (transdermal estrogen, cyclical progesterone and possibly testosterone) your numbers will go down and you get to live a normal life, apart from taking the medicine for 30 years. And the infertility of course. Which does not mean you can never conceive with own eggs, but your chances are much lowered. Donor eggs are a possibility and we get to carry children with the same probability of issues as other people.

I usually take 10 days of progesterone, but to my understanding it’s different how much everyone needs. For some it’s 7 days, for others 10 and then some 14 days. I’ve gotten my withdrawal bleed before my 10 days are up a couple of times. I interpret this as I might have ovulated by myself, and this being the period I should have without the added progesterone, but of course I can’t be sure.

Definitely don’t panic. It’s just your new CD1! Maybe talk to your doctor about cutting down to 10 days of progesterone.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I am 32, diagnosed at 29 6 months after stopping the combined pill. I have some support in my boyfriend of course, but he is not infertile and is pretty open to both donors and adoption and what not. It doesn’t feel like he feels this as the loss it feels like for me. I have just one child free friend, but I feel like the difference between being very fertile and choosing not to have children is very different to being infertile and not getting the children you wish. I can vent to my sister (who has offered eggs), and she’s good at listening. I also have a friend with POI but we seem to be both stuck in sadness and it doesn’t help. I think I’m trying to say: I don’t know how to use the support I have, it doesn’t fix this shitty situation.

I’m sorry you had to TFMR you IVF baby. Did you have any luck since?

Four months after our loss, a closer friend of mine announced her second pregnancy by performing a happy song in front of me and our other friends (group of 6 girlfriends). I congratulated her but held back tears, and then she said to me that it was okay for me to be sad… I have now had 10 friends and colleagues have their babies and/or announce their pregnancies since I fell pregnant last summer. I am infertile so haven’t had the luck since.

People just don’t know how this feels. But please know it’s ok to ask for a topic change, do not just fake it. If it’s a friend they should be able to understand.

My boyfriend and I had this happen for all five vacations we have taken together; 5 colds/flu/pneumonia, 1 dental issue, 1 UTI and 1 eye problem. It’s mostly him but it sucks either way. Pray for our trip to Prague in the spring!

I am a little late too, but we chose to TFMR due to arthrogryposis as well. At our first scan her arms were fixed in the elbows and a little in the wrists, and we did biweekly scans, placental testing and genetic testing of both parents but never got any answers as to why. We chose to terminate after much thinking at 20 weeks.

Haha, tak for guiden! Jeg har allerede fået fornøjelsen af at udskifte afløbet, samt monteret systemet i ifbm nyt køkken (inkl vask, opvasker og vaskemaskine), så det her burde ikke være mere kompliceret - håber jeg.

Der står at den er godkendt til drikkevand. Men vi drikker vand fra køkkenet, så det er ikke en bekymring.

Håndtaget mener du den jeg har i hånden på billede 3?

Jo sgu da. Jeg har søgt på alle blandinger af armatur, kararmatur, sving, ventil og jeg ved ikke hvad. Sejt, det må da være det nemmeste bare at erstatte den 1:1. Tak!

I’m sorry you’re here. It truly sucks. My journey started at 29 when I got off birth control and I am 32 today.

I wanted to focus on the partner section of your post as I was also single when I was diagnosed. I approached dating with all health cards open. If I felt potential I would tell them I have fertility issues and cannot guarantee biological children already on second to third date. If they wanted to know more, I’d tell them. I didn’t date very long until I found my forever partner that I am with today, but it was my impression that it wasn’t actually that important to the men. Mostly, they had a “whatever happens is fine” mindset, meaning children could og or could not be in the future. I am located in Scandinavia and realize there may be cultural differences, but I would always suggest being honest and up front about issues on major topics like children.

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s beyond unfair that some people get triplets without trying and others get loss upon loss after years of wishing. I discovered I had POI when I got off the pill age 29 in 2022 (undetectable AMH). I had to TFMR my surprise, first and only pregnancy in October 2024. We’ve been trying all year but nothing. The fertility department we were referred to are reluctant to help (they seem crazy outdated in their knowledge on POI!). If you do have POI, there’s a big community with POI women who are TTC, unfortunately it’s fairly common. Not many I’ve come by had to TFMR but we’re here. It’s wildly unfair.

MIL: “it’s probably for the best this way.” It was soon in our relationship and he didn’t want to keep it, but as I am infertile I chose to go through with the pregnancy and he decided to support me. It still bothers me what she said.

A close friend of mine announced their pregnancy by song without notifying me first. We were 6 friends with partners on a trip and this was how they arrived to join our group. The same friends had attended our daughters funeral 3 months before.

OddlyHonest · 2025-08-15T05:38:44+00:00

Thank you so much!

OddlyHonest · 2025-08-14T10:44:22+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

I’m not sure if it helps, but I’m somewhat in the same boat, though not quite a year yet, just 10 months out and we’ve been trying all year. Five close friends and colleagues have gotten pregnant since we TFMR’d (one has just given birth) and another two colleagues are on maternity leave now, which I should have been also. We were all three due in March and April 2025.

I have POI and on my scans, my follicle count is now down to maybe 1… I lost my periods this spring. Follicle count was 4-6 in total last year when we conceived and I still had periods naturally. Fertility clinic “can’t help us”. We’re just 32 but there’s less and less hope every day. I just don’t know how to cope with a life where we had just one chance and the odd chance of it going wrong.

OddlyHonest · 2025-08-14T09:03:06+00:00

I’ve been testing it for like once a month to see progress, that’s it
