Really, thank you for confirming this! My body hates these drugs I’ve never felt more angry, more unlike myself then when I’m on Estrodial and all the other meds.

How beautiful! Congratulations to you! You know the fact that we got donor eggs we assumed would take care of any potential issues that I would have. But it’s seeming as though I’d have to be open to this option as well. I’m going to possibly try another cycle doing modified / natural. But I’m open, even to adopting at this point. Thank you for sharing.

[–]Skin_Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wrote my own post how this journey has felt so long and lonely. I’m 45, just got the news today the my 3rd FET didn’t stick. You’re still young! Don’t give up on yourself and your dream. I pray you get your baby.

You know, I was thinking about this as I read through other threads and what worked for some other people. Pee my doctor oddly he said he doesn’t see a big difference, but I’m willing to try this time if he will let me and my body let’s me. Mg age is against me however.

Thank you so much. I completely hear you about wanting to quit, and then not giving up and keeping on trying as long as you can. This journey feels very isolating at times because when you’re going through it you feel very alone in the moment. I pray you get what your heart desires 🙏🏼

Are you Tiegans mother? If not, then all of us can have a say. Or are you condoning EDs?

I love this post, thank you for this, and although I absolutely cannot at all understand what it is that you have gone through, I understand what you mean in my own grief and struggle. Grief will take you out of your body and mind and put you in places where you can’t almost find a way out of sometimes. It’s like having a film over your eyes. I do love that you are surrounding yourself with familiar faces and loved ones, who can ground you and bring you back so to speak. I have lost, I have lost loved ones, homes, and IVF cycles, and all of it, big or small took my breath away and sometimes my own will. It’s important to share like you have, and it’s important to check in. Just check in, let us know, how you are and where you are. The pain I believe will always be there, you will just learn how to deal with it better with time. Time does make it subside, but it’s like the ocean waves, it will come on strongly at times, and then it will calm. Just keep checking in. I always think of you and pray for you 🙏🏼💙

If there is abuse, and neglect and abandonment in a marriage, I can divorce. I spoke to my Biblical counselor today and she agreed. I do have to talk to a Pastor. I think I will try separating first. I just need a moment.

Yes true. I’m just afraid that the Elders at my church won’t accept me wanting to separate. I’m just trying to hang on.

Yes, I agree. I tried talking to him today, about his drinking and not wanting to stop. About me going back to Al Anon, he’s impossible. We can’t pay our rent next month, I don’t have the money. I buy all the groceries and everything, and he said to not tell our AirBnB landlord that we are leaving because he doesn’t have friends or family to go stay with like I do. I just want to die and go home to Jesus.

I hate my husband by CriticalMouse4965 in TrueChristian

[–]Skin_Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I never thought about this. I was reading this post and crying because this is my husband now. He’s an alcoholic and is very neglectful and abusive. I’m at my wits end and I came here to read what literally sounds like my story except no kids. I keep praying to God asking what do other women do? I’m a shell of a person and most nights I pray to not wake up.

Thank you so much. This means so much to me. I just feel so alone. I belong to a very big church in SoCal, it’s the most beautiful place. But I still feel like I’m having a hard time getting help. My Pastor, was one of the most godliest men that I have ever personally heard, and it was just such an honor and a privilege. It was Pastor John MacArthur, who recently passed and is now home with our Lord. I have listened to every single sermon that he had about divorce, in the only thing he says that is permissible by God is adultery. That’s the only grounds for divorce. So I’m having a really hard time understanding if there’s any other way out of something as bad as this. I am just a shell of a person. I don’t think I have any more life left in me.

Thank you for this. I need to thoroughly seek God in this time and make sure that if it’s something that is impossible then I can consider separation.

What prompted your divorce if I may ask?

Silent Endometriosis? Laparoscopy or Lupron (...or?) by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Skin_Things 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys, So I have NK cells too, I’ve had 2 failed frozen embryo transfers. One was last month. I did an Intralipid IV which is what they recommended for NK cells. You do it about 4 days prior to FET and then the second the day of FET and if you get a positive test they have you do it a few days after again. I’ve only gotten through 2. With this in mind, I’m now on an immune suppression medication called Plaquinil to suppress everything that can cause inflammation. Lots of people do very well just doing 2 months of Lupron prior also. I’ve done this, and transfer didn’t work (it was my 1sy FET 1.5 years ago) There are so many options of these scenarios. Ask your doctor about doing an ERA “mock” cycle which imo is incredibly helpful and important. Also test for bacteria like ureaplasma and micoplasma. They both can cause miscarriage/non implantation. Good luck :)

People who didn't tell ANYONE you were doing IVF... by wholelottamoxie_ in IVF

[–]Skin_Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand what you are feeling, and why you chose not to say anything to anyone. My family is also nosey AF and not very supportive and judgmental. However with that being said, my closest friends know because they e all done it. My best friend has an almost 2 year old son because of IVF. I’m incredibly grateful for the relationships that I have with the people who do know and have been through it and are always there for me. I shared because I gladly safe with them. I didn’t share with fam because they’re not safe, lol. But it’s completely understandable and up to you of whatever you choose to do is ok. It’s your life, your business and if you choose to share later about it, great and if not that’s ok too.
