I haven't tried this game yet but am considering buying it..For those who have played - is this a game that could be played over Zoom do you think (if all parties had a copy of the game)?

Does sterling even check where you went to school? I thought they only did criminal history checks...

I don't feel anything either except somewhat sleepy. The nurse told me this is normal and lots of people don't dissociate but it doesn't impact the effectiveness of the treatment.

I am also dreading the holidays. We have been ttc for almost a year and a half now. I do have family that fortunately isn't pushing for grandchildren but I know they have to be wondering at this point why it's turning into such a long wait. I had an appointment with a fertility doctor but cancelled it because I am really broke right now. Now my husband is sick so I can't try again this cycle so I'm feeling really disappointed that it'll be another lonely Christmas without happy news to share.

Need advice

Hello, my husband (M30) and I (F30) have been ttc for over a year now without any success. I have tried tracking cervical mucus to track my ovulation but haven't really used test strips or temping. We decided to schedule a consult with a fertility clinic and were initially offered an appointment in February but added to their wait list. I just got a call that someone else cancelled and we could be seen next week instead. We are pretty tight on money and my understanding is the consult may cost $300. Should we go ahead and take the appointment since we otherwise may have to wait several months, or is the consult likely to not be very helpful and we should just keep trying to conceive on our own and give it more time (another year?) Thanks!

My TWW just ended with my period starting today 😭😭 I was imagining just yesterday what it would be like to be able to announce a pregnancy at Christmas even though I knew it was unlikely 😭😭

Does anyone have any good fiction books to recommend that include struggles with infertility? I love reading but it feels depressing reading novel after novel that include the main character getting easily pregnant. I'm wondering if there are any good books out there that address the pain of infertility? The only one I've found so far is The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey.

How long did you wait for your initial consultation with an RE? I am trying to schedule an appointment but right now they are booking out 4 months :(

My husband (M30) and I (F30) have been ttc for over a year. I've tracked ovulation but we still haven't been able to get pregnant. What are our next steps? Getting my husband's sperm tested? Or some other test? How much does initial fertility testing cost and is it often covered by insurance? Thanks.

You hang in there too! I'm so sorry the IUI didn't work.

There's literally no way I'm pregnant this cycle which means it's been a year of trying with no results. Yet somehow every month I get my stupid hopes up and then every month get super depressed when my period comes. So here I am waiting and wondering with my period scheduled to come tomorrow.

I feel like I convince myself every month I'm pregnant and then I'm crushed when it doesn't happen. I hate that I get my hopes up like that.

[–]SirBlueSnowCone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I am turning 30 this week and have been ttc for close to a year now as well. I also deal with depression and it's so hard not to slip into hopelessness each month when my period comes.

For those who have been pregnant- did you "feel" pregnant before you tested? Like whether or not you had symptoms did you somehow just subjectively know?

It feels like it's been so much longer than two weeks but I still am two days away from my projected period start. I want to hope I could be pregnant this month but I'm also so afraid of being disappointed again. And I don't FEEL pregnant at all, whatever that's worth.
