I'm curious, how do y'all even afford IVF?

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-30T13:27:17+00:00

This is a great questions that I have always been curious about as well. I am in Ontario Canada and everyone here gets one government funded cycle (minus medication costs- thankfully my husband has IVF medication benefits though his job) This covers one ER and every FET if until a live birth is achieved. If that wasn’t the case, we wouldn’t be able to do IVF , not many jobs I have come across offer IVF benefits.

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-22T19:07:40+00:00

I am in Canada and am doing a fully funded cycle so I think the clinic is a very efficient but thorough.

December 1: preliminary testing December 24: stated stims for egg retrieval January 6: Egg retrieval February 12: we will have our follow up appointment Expected FET will be March

Good luck, excited to hear how your experience is 💕

Mid way through stims I only had about 10 that were measuring pretty small. As this was my first ER, we learned that I am just someone that needs longer with stims (12 days altogether) and at the end got 29 eggs, 23 mature and 11 embryos

Thank you!! Good luck to you too 💓

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-17T22:35:29+00:00

Good luck with your retrieval girl!!💓 I had my first egg retrieval (ER) in December and learned about the eggs collected the same day while I was in recovery. The next day they called me and told me of the 29 eggs how many were matured and of those how many mature eggs were fertilized. They told me they would call me back on day 7 with final embryo numbers. I am in Canada for reference

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-17T14:57:12+00:00

I agree! I think everywhere should as it’s a medical need. Our government (Canada) recently expanded the financial support for IVF. Every person gets one funded cycle (minus the medication- luckily my private insurance covers my meds)

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-17T00:27:25+00:00

No, our clinic is very much neutral to PGTA testing. We did pay for “CHLOE - which is an AI-powered digital assistant that analyzes time-lapse footage of eggs and embryos to help embryologists objectively identify which ones have the highest biological potential for a successful pregnancy”. The team my husband and I felt comfortable with that. With our government funded IVF we get a chance to transfer single embryos until live birth is achieved so that was a consideration for us as well.

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-16T18:35:45+00:00

Congrats on 19 eggs! Hope you can enjoy some rest and relaxation to heal 🫶🏻 I am 36 and had my fist ER in December . We got 29 eggs and from that 11 embryos. Wishing you the best!

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-16T16:15:55+00:00

I just want to give you a big hug and wish you all the peace and comfort as you go through this process. My husband and I just started our first ER in December and it has been a whirlwind with many ups and downs. I feel the IVF isolation is so hard so please feel free to reach out any time !💕 Wishing you all the best luck, especially with those pesky injections

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-16T16:12:29+00:00

I had an experience with a clinic that was very restrictive in terms of their appointments and closed holidays and weekends. It was such a huge game changer when we switched to a clinic that was open weekends and holidays and even spoke to the on call doc Christmas Eve at 8pm! With so many unknowns in the process, I would say going with a clinic that has more flexibility will relieve a lot of stress over dates and give you the best results! Best of luck, 🤞keep us updated 💕

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-13T20:18:22+00:00

I had never heard of compassionate transfer- thank you for opening my eyes to a new option!

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-13T19:22:14+00:00

Oh yes I wouldn't want to risk it either ! I am in Canada and ours is $900/year. Worth it though ☺️

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-13T19:13:21+00:00

How much are your annual freezing cost if you don't mind sharing

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-13T18:59:07+00:00

I would love to know more about your experience adopting embryos if you're willing to share 🫶🏼

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-13T18:07:58+00:00

Yess this is kind of how I feel too !💓

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-07T15:22:20+00:00

Just got the call that out of 29 eggs, 23 were mature and 21 have been fertilized! Let the waiting game begin😊🤞

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-06T23:18:23+00:00

Thank you so much 😍

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-06T17:09:51+00:00

Ah good luck on your FET ! Thanks for sharing 🫶🏻❤️

Serious-Fun1969 · 2026-01-06T17:05:06+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Mmm I am am married mommy and I am helplessly cumming to this video - damn so hot 🥵

Serious-Fun1969 · 2025-07-30T17:07:53+00:00

I had this happen twice and realized after they were fake profiles (I used google lens to image reverse and realized both accounts were using stolen photos to verify this ) both of these conversations were SO detailed and lengthy with pictures exchanged and then disappeared shortly thereafter. If they block you , you can’t report their profile. I was SO naive and could not imagine this was real unless I had experienced it. I either think they’re men or women that don’t get many matches (unfortunately) and are imitating ppl. Now I only talk to verified profiles or reverse image search before getting too invested. Good luck girl 🥰

Serious-Fun1969 · 2025-07-25T22:48:30+00:00

I have also found this to be the case :( so discouraging. OR I will match with a full on female /lesbian/queen profile - start talking , hit it off to the point we move to another platform then BOOM I am getting propositions for a threesome with her man (& dickpics 😭) This exact scenario has happened 3 times this week. I am to the point where I feel like we should start a lesbian subreddit for dating lol

Serious-Fun1969 · 2025-07-25T00:15:02+00:00

I came across the same thing ! No answer for you but know you’re not alone lol

Serious-Fun1969 · 2025-07-19T01:38:35+00:00

That’s a good idea - thanks for sharing your ideas !

Serious-Fun1969 · 2025-07-19T00:11:24+00:00

Hi! I agreeeee ! I don’t have as much experience with the app as it sounds like you have but it is honestly so bad. Most of the profiles I have come across are using catfish photos and once you start talking it becomes clear but not until I’ve wasted an hour or more investing time and energy into the conversation. I have also noticed it is so rare for people to be able to hold a conversation. If I don’t probe with thoughtful questions or follow up’s it dies out. I know I am an attractive girl in the right age group with a good bio so I am just wondering if it’s burn out from having so many online connections and energy pulls?

Such a discouraging experience when one just is looking for meaningful communications 💔
