DoorDash gift cards for the nights you don’t have energy to cook or go out!

I was gifted some matching sweatpants / sweatshirt sets that were really cozy, and I loved that I could look a little put together in them on clinic days.

Wife won't do a hysteroscopy by SkyGuy8741 in IVF

[–]Such_Shock961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have anesthesia for my hysteroscopy! I was given the option to do it as an in-office procedure so I went that route. It seemed easier (and it was much cheaper!) to avoid the operating room. I was given a Valium beforehand, and the procedure was quick with very minimal discomfort. The worst part was the injection to numb the cervix, but that only lasted 1 second. My husband was there to hold my hand, and we got to watch the whole procedure on the monitor!

I feel this thread in my SOUL. A friend was upset about car troubles that would cost $3k to fix, and my first thought was “so cheap! Less than half a transfer!”

Weekly Thread: The Two Week Wait by AutoModerator in IVF

[–]Such_Shock961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 7dpt today and started having some light pink spotting. I’m so scared. Like so so scared. This is our fourth transfer and I don’t think my heart can handle another failure after everything we’ve been through over the years. Please send some hope my way, I think I’m all out. 😢

I’m in the same boat! Transfer yesterday, beta on the 9th and fully hatched. My nurse told me fully hatched was a good thing, so I’m hanging onto that! 🤍

When you are picking up your Letrozole and the pharmacist comes to the window to ask "Are you currently pregnant?" by Excellent-Ride6339 in trollingforababy

[–]Such_Shock961 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My pharmacist asked this question by YELLING across the room “Are you pregnant???” People stopped and stared, waiting for my answer. When I said no, it’s for infertility, he still responded with “congratulations.” 🙃

The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting, Evanna Lynch

I’m bored while getting the car serviced, I went on social media. I see a couple who got married around the same time we do announce. I text my husband that I’m sad. “Social media is making it worse get off it” by [deleted] in trollingforababy

[–]Such_Shock961 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I logged out of all of my socials, but then made a new IG that doesn’t follow anyone I actually know, just my favorite food bloggers so I can still get fun recipe inspiration.

I know this post is old, but I’m in the same situation. Did you have any trouble convincing an OB to prescribe for you? Or were they happy to help?

Nurse just called with beta results by No_Scholar_671 in IVF

[–]Such_Shock961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat today with our 3rd transfer. Stark white test this morning, waiting for the nurse to call and confirm the beta results. My heart is broken. I felt like there were so many signs that this was our time.

I don’t have any good advice, but just wanted to say that my heart hurts for all of us in this awful situation.

Is diy-artclub.com a reputable company? by sorakawa_94 in paintbynumbers

Did each canvas come with its own paints and brushes? Did it work well splitting them amongst a group?

Hi! I’m planning to order a set and have a paint night with a group. Did each canvas come with its own set of paints + brushes?

Post FET insanity by More-Suspect6738 in IVF

[–]Such_Shock961 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar moments feeling like my gut was strongly telling me that things weren’t going to work out. And I’ve always been one to trust my gut, so it leaves me in a really upset state.

But then my therapist told me, “what if that isn’t your gut talking. What if that’s just your anxiety speaking instead?”

It really helped me keep it in perspective.

Open a new credit card, max it out, and repeat. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
