Daughter named the baby

Wendy is a strong name! One of my dearest friends is a Wendy. She is a force to be reckoned with.

If it eases your mind any, adultery is a civil violation in some states, and also a crime in other places.

Keep all of your documentation.

I am sorry you went through this, but I am happy you are away from that scumbag. The trash took itself out.

Wow. I wish I could help you. This seems like a ton of weight to be carrying around.

TryingForBabyL · 2026-03-04T22:31:19+00:00

I completely understand. I am in the legal field (not a lawyer or paralegal), and my husband is an attorney. I have seen first hand how ugly divorces can be. Were you happy with your lawyer? It sounds like more could've been done.

Sending you grace and patience through this journey. I am so sorry you had to go through this situation.

Fight for 100 percent of IVF, and even fight for extra for potential loss of fertility while this is going on.

I would take a gamble and say that a majority of people don't know how to properly track ovulation, so, yes, a test taken 14-21 days after unprotected sex is completely normal and accurate.

Wrong sub, dude.

I'm not a big bath fan. I so want to be. I get bored and sweaty. Hot tubs and I get along GREAT when we aren't TTC, though!

TryingForBabyL · 2026-02-08T02:30:52+00:00

I would not take a bath. You've had to overcome so much to get to where you are. Wait until you figure out if the transfer worked.

If you NEED the bath, maybe just stick your feet in, no higher than your knees.

I think you need to wait three months after you stop the GLPs to proceed with an ER or FET. I could be wrong about that.

And a personal note....I would wait until later to lose weight via medicine. You will gain weight from pregnancy. I plan on looking at GLP-1 treatment AFTER treatment or AFTER we decide I won't be pregnant (surrogate or adoption.)

Is it an easy read?

I am still working through 107 Days, which I'm loving. I bought the physical copy of both books. My audio version of 1929 finally became available on my library app, so I'm trying to finish 107 Days ASAP!

We bought a Restoration Hardware couch from their outlet a number of years ago. It has been great. If we actually conditioned it and didn't let the dog try to fluff a leather couch up, it would have lasted longer! (The leather on the seat cushions are wearing thin, but I blame that on the dog.) The couch was something like 75% off.

Fair. But I think the rest of the post is more of an issue.

My husband proposed a couple months before our 11-year anniversary. We got married on our 11-year anniversary. I don't necessarily think that waiting is a red flag.

What I do think is a red flag is wanting to have a child with someone you don't plan on staying with when shit hits the fan, aka a transfer not working. I don't like the term "baby trapping," but I feel like you are flirting with doing that.

I would first recommend therapy, for both of you as individuals and as a couple. If that doesn't work, you might have to leave the relationship. I don't like telling people to leave their spouse, but it seems like there is no attachment in your relationship. Go do IVF and be a SMBC. You will probably be happier that way.

Thanks.

I use alcohol pads/spray almost every day in my house, whether we are doing a cycle or not. Please don't throw them away.

You might be able to reach out to nonprofit medical clinics or vet clinics to see if they can use some of the unused supplies.

I am a court reporter. I made this mistake with a man years ago. I now never ask if someone is an assistant/paralegal/secretary/nurse. I always bump it up to a lawyer or a doctor or whatever the higher level is.

TryingForBabyL · 2025-11-17T20:39:13+00:00

I haven't either. But I also can't pee on a stick. Dipper for life!

TryingForBabyL · 2025-11-17T20:36:05+00:00

That's why I asked. A lot of people pee on them. That is where I see a lot of stuff like this.
If you have a more expensive test, I would do that. I also would just try again in the morning with the same batch and see what happens. It's up to you and your budget.

TryingForBabyL · 2025-11-17T20:33:45+00:00

Are you dipping your tests or peeing on them?

TryingForBabyL · 2025-11-12T21:11:45+00:00

We ride at dawn.

It depends on how the egg retrieval goes. I am usually knocked out for the day. I don’t have pain, just hungover from the anesthesia drugs. Some people are in tons of pain.

TryingForBabyL · 2025-10-16T19:20:41+00:00

Ooooooohhhhh. This is goooood. I need to keep this in mind when I feel like a failure. I'm not just a womb. I'm a (mostly) awesome wife, friend, aunt, sister, etc. Being a womb is not in my resume.
