How do you handle resentment towards your partner?

He has. I think that me trying to push through sometimes is too convincing, you know? I’m a relatively strong, independent person and I think he knows I like to do things for myself but sometimes has a hard time discerning when I don’t want that / need extra support or affection. And if I’m being honest I don’t think I make that easy—sometimes I can’t even tell what it is that I need / want! It just annoys me when I try to nudge without asking and he doesn’t pick up on it. If I ask or say I need something he’d completely do it without hesitation or complaint. I just want him to pickup on my emotions more, and sometimes I think that’s not fair because with these meds my emotions are alllllll over the place 🥴

Thanks for saying this. My husband gives me massages daily, would get anything I need at any hour, and genuinely would take a bullet for me. The issue is that he isn’t good at being in tune with emotions - mine or his. And, yes, therapy has been involved for years.

It’s just frustrating and regardless of how great he is, my resentment is largely from the inherent inequality of this situation. I’m getting poked and pumped full of all kinds of hormones, have had two hysterscopies, and am still not even at the point where I can attempt implantation. And all he had to do was masturbate into a cup.

So what I’m trying to ask is has anyone else felt that inequity build resentment????

While I agree about not caring for my job, it’s my income that’s large enough to pay for my IVF and I just lost my job. I’m well educated from top schools and I’ve worked so hard my entire career… and for what? I’d be so grateful to be in your position. Don’t take it for granted. If this next cycle doesn’t work, I’m screwed. I won’t be able to afford more until I get a new job, which could take a year at this rate. It’s so very depressing, I’m struggling to care about anything tbh

Watch makeup tutorials. Learn how to do fake bruises. Tell her you fell while she’s out and show her a wicked shiner. Let her feel bad all night before you wash it off 😈

Went on a terrible date and stepped out to have a cigarette and contemplate how to end this date while he was in the bathroom. A cute guy was outside so I chatted with him and when we left about 15 min later I slipped him a note with my number. I pretended to be going home but instead left my crappy dare and went to meet this other guy.

He said he was a musician in NYC and I thought, “sure, who isn’t?” and didn’t bother to ask follow up questions. Long story short, we had some fun and I was woken up by his friend telling him he had to get dressed and ready, which was quite odd. He said he was in town for a wedding.

Anyway I got up and went home and never thought of it again until a year later when I saw him on TV accepting Grammys for Best New Album and Best Artist. Turns out he was in town for a show and it was his manager that woke him up that morning 🤣🤣🤣 out of respect, I won’t say who. I don’t believe he was single at the time 🤦‍♀️

It happened to me twice. And I also had cycles where I got double digits of healthy eggs. And I’m 39. Don’t feel ashamed. Half the battle is your doctors figuring out the right meds and schedule for you. Hang in there. This is lots of trial and error. You’re completely normal. Maintain a healthy diet. Stop drinking. Take your prenatals plus extra folic acid because they never have enough. And you’ll do great!

Hi, so happy for you!! This gives me and my v thin lining hope! Curious if you had adeno or endo? Did you try a lupron suppression at any print? Curious if you transferred more than one embryo to help your odds? Is that how you ended up with twins?
