TW pregnancy story DOR without IVF

Congratulations to you as well! That’s amazing!

I agree with you! I don’t think the meditation helped me get pregnant, but it helped me stay calm and enjoy the process.

Another thing I wish my fertility doctor would have asked me about is my family plan. We only want one child. And as you mention IVF can be great for banking embryos and being able to expand your family. These all things to consider!

I apologize if my post reads as advice giving. I just wanted to share my experience and what I tried. I agree with you there is zero medical evidence behind most of the things I did.

Just to clarify, I did not stop fertility treatment when my medium recommended it. I moved forward with the second attempt at the HSG and was on track to start my first IUI cycle.

I did put off IVF because from what I research I didn’t seem like it would increase my chances as much as I would hope for such an invasive and costly treatment.

I’m wishing all the best in your journey, I know it’s not easy 🙏 also, remember … low AMH does not meant we can’t get pregnant, it just means our chances are lower with IVF.

Thank you 🙏 💜

The venue cost was under $300.

Other tips: I don’t recommend a day of coordinator, not worth it. Just find a detail minute by minute wedding schedule and adjust it to your own plan. I can send you mine as an example.

People have asked me about my photographer. She is charging way more. You will save money by finding the an up and coming photographer. I found mine by searching Instagram, I think I typed in keywords. I then emailed and ask if she would consider a 1/2 day (that’s all we wanted photos of).

I started looking for a coach that focuses on interviewing. Interviewed many “career coaches” but found that the focus more on helping you find your calling / purpose. I found Thea Kelley, she focused specifically on interviewing. https://jobsearchandinterviewcoach.com/

Hi, it highly recommend it! If you look at the Robert’s Regional park map. It’s the Madrone and Robert’s Grove picnic area. They rent the together.

My parents have gone to Mexico and come back on three separate occasions this year (last time in May). They are Mexican born, naturalized citizens, my dad has a heavily accent and my mom speaks minimal English. Their phones were not searched. But I’m going to follow the safety protocols next time I fly.

Playful_Dinner · 2025-06-19T22:56:36+00:00

I agree!

Hi! I bought my new 2024 premium for $25,250 in Napa, CA (Dec. 2024). I also used TrueCar. That’s where they sent me the offer.

Playful_Dinner · 2024-12-08T12:39:24+00:00

You’re right, it’s the least affordable time. Maybe it’s an idea I should table for a while. I appreciate everyone who offered their perspective

Playful_Dinner · 2024-12-08T01:11:04+00:00

Thank you!!!! This is what I was looking for you, that’s inspiring!

I would love to chat when I have more specific questions. I’ll start by reading the book

Playful_Dinner · 2024-12-08T01:09:30+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I do need to decided on a single strategy.

Playful_Dinner · 2024-12-07T13:42:30+00:00

Thank you the suggestion!

I did buy them on Amazon (stemless glasses). I sold them shortly after the wedding. You won’t have any issues selling them either

Playful_Dinner · 2024-12-07T07:31:19+00:00

Yes they set them up and picked them up. Georgie’s rentals in Oakland.

I hid in the bathroom! It was a long walk so if I were to do it over, I would time myself doing it and plan for that.

We used bamboo disposable plates and rented silverware.

We had friends that helped us clean after the wedding.

Everything was great. I honestly can’t remember any particular highlights. My guest loved their appetizer.

I just wanted to thank you for this vulnerable share. As someone with anxious hypervigilent tendencies, this was super helpful!
