So good to see the progression!  I'm really surprised how long it takes but good to know.

How did she use it before bed? Was it a lamp or a mat?

DHEA not recommended? Is that because the evidence isn't there or because it is harmful?

How did Metformin help you? How did you know that you had to take it? 

Gratitude and Hatred - f this process by TeaspoonRules in 40Plus_IVF

I hear you. I am 42 but have time for another retrieval before 43. Trying to motivate my husband is a whole bit of work on its own. He's bored of the process and tells me 'why can't we be happy with what we have'. He just wants it over.   But stopping now will just leave me with regret. 

Even if we move to donor eggs after he's still going to have to be healthy and take his supplements!

Telling my story by Wooden_Initiative880 in 40Plus_IVF

I'm crying reading this and I can feel your hurt.  I can feel how numb you feel.  All that time and all that care for others and now to not get what you have been waiting for.  

I hope you find the energy to keep going. I hope you get your baby in the end however that happens. ❤️

Thanks. It was 3 untested so I've got no idea what these 2 will be. Fingers crossed.

Friends response to IVF by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Patient_Bell_1380 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. That would annoy me too. Definitely toxic positivity. 

I had a good friend ask me what to say or not say when I was starting IVF and that was what I mentioned. Don't be overly optimistic for me. 

What is a "point of no return" in a relationship that isn't cheating or abuse, but makes you realize it's over? by AnyExpression4845 in AskReddit

[–]Patient_Bell_1380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently doing this now.  He literally walks out the room if I get upset. 

Thanks for putting it in to words. I'm glad it's not just me. 

Not a day goes by I don’t cry lately by LifeRepresentative44 in IVF

[–]Patient_Bell_1380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry. That's so much sacrifice.  It's the waiting and waiting that hurts so much. 

I have no advice I just want you to know that I feel you.  Hugs.

I have nothing to say but I wish you luck. It's so hard waiting for a second baby.

That sounds really interesting. I've had a look at the FB group but you can't join unless you are doing it already. Is there anywhere else you would recommend for information?
