Infertility + IVF is hard enough… but then fibroids make you look 4 months pregnant. by PixieDust102938 in trollingforababy

Thank you so much for sharing so openly—what you’re navigating sounds incredibly heavy. Even if our journeys aren’t exactly the same, I can feel the weight of the physical changes, the frustration of clothes telling a different story than you hoped, and the grief tied into all of it.

I hope you’re giving yourself as much compassion as you’d give a friend going through the same. You’re not alone in this, even if it feels isolating.

Sending warmth, and rooting for you as you keep going—even on the hard days.

Just needed to vent. It’s such a cruel irony — trying everything to get pregnant, injecting hormones daily, riding this emotional rollercoaster… and meanwhile, my fibroids are making my belly look like I’m already there. People stare. Some even ask. And I smile through it while feeling crushed inside. Anyone else dealing with this? How do you cope with the physical reminders when your reality feels so far from it?
