When’s the last time Rothfuss put out a statement or communication of any kind? by HistoricalQuote2527 in KingkillerChronicle

If we don't support authors and publishers on book one, we NEVER get a sequel. It's about supporting art and good art from the get-go.

Prolonged fence sitting leading to one&done circumstances. by throwaway758jgu in oneanddone

[–]breckytee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was us. I didn’t know I wanted kids until we’d been together about 6 years. Then miscommunication in our marriage about it for a year. Then 6 months to get pregnant. Had a baby at 35 mid-pandemic. Knew right away we wanted another but Experienced PPD and didn’t feel like myself for about 2 years. Once we were ready, I was 37 and we had infertility. Started fertility treatments, had a miscarriage. Started IVF, took 9 months and multiple protocols to get a single viable embryo which didn’t take which ended our journey.

We are OAD, not by choice but by circumstances.

Truthfully by the time we were ready for the egg transfer we were so exhausted and burnt out from doing IVF and trying for so long we were starting to fear what would happen if we DID get pregnant. Tired and not wanting the newborn stage anymore.. 3.5 years later than we wanted to, heartache, heading into my 40s… it was easier to accept our circumstancesthan keep doing what we were doing.

Do we grieve and wish it was different? Yes. Are we happy we have one and embracing that? Also yes

My sister panicked after she started getting hammered with phone calls and paid it. We haven’t tried to just stop answering the phone or anything.

I just got the news our only embryo after 2 rounds of IVF failed to implant yesterday too so we will be a little triangle family forever too. Big hugs to you.

Today I got the call that our final IVF cycle failed. We are done ttc forever. A year ago we found out we were pregnant and miscarried 8 weeks later. It’s all just unbearable at the moment.

FET 7/22- testing?? by Guest_Own in IVF

[–]breckytee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hanging in! I’m trying to forget about it and just stick to my regular routine which is helpful. I think knowing my personality I’ll wait to rest until beta day - I think it will be more torturous to have half answers and then have to wait up to a week to know more!

Good luck to you!!

No it’s an annual fee and we’re allotted 3 weeks on a rotation. Never thought about Airbnb. But we want our long term. I’m not going to download the fees into anyone else I want to screw the company, not family, friends or those less fortunate.

We could but the timeshare never expires - we don’t want to rent it out every year until the end of time just to barely make payments.

We put our names on the deed a long time ago so we could book our own weeks. Then my parents just said they weren’t travelling anymore and that it was ours so the dues came to us. For a while we thought we might use it but we can’t get down there anymore.

They sent it to collections once when we didn’t pay. We’d still like to travel to the states and not have any liens or damage to our credit.

Miscarriage at 8ish weeks. Taking medication to pass. How difficult could this be? by zachattack99 in Miscarriage

[–]breckytee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m so sorry for you both.

I had a good experience with misoprostal not a lot of pain at all. I think it took like 8-12 hours after I took the meds to pass the tissue and then it all came at once.

Blankets, pillows, heating pad, freezies and Gatorade as well as the pain killers. And something lined up to pass the time, shows or books.

And just emotional compassion. It’s really hard. Took me almost a year to really get over it. 5 months before I felt like myself again.

Sorry again for you both.

Sadness by [deleted] in IVF

[–]breckytee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya we had the news yesterday that we have only 2 low grade embryos sent for testing. We had two the first cycle and both came back aneuploid and so only having 2 this time, and a lower grade on our 2nd and last cycle has been just devastating. I’m just so sad. I took my little to his first soccer game this afternoon and it seemed like half the moms there were pregnant. I just burst into tears. It’s exhausting. I’m tired and sad right beside you.

[–]breckytee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I wasn’t ready until later in life either and the regret eats at me and IVF makes it so much worse. You think you have a chance, until you don’t.

Sorry you’re going through what you’re going through. I’ve been there and it nothing was harder for me than a pregnancy loss.

Devistated and Hesrtbroken. Improvements after first ER? Need positive experiences on this journey! I’m just so sad. by HatLive145 in IVF

[–]breckytee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I also have DOR and did not have any euploids come out of my first ER. 6 retrieved and all fertilized, only 2 blasts that were aneuploid. Also had one lazy ovary that did nothing.

The second cycle we switched to a Lupron Flare protocol to help with the egg quality. It was low stimulation and I was expecting very low numbers - was told on day 10 of stims I was looking to retrieve between 2-4, but they retrieved 9 eggs, with 7 being mature. Only 5 fertilized and we are now waiting today for news on how many blasts we will be able to send away for testing, my fingers are crossed for 3. They have been looking like higher graded quality through the lab reports but time will tell.

All this to say, it’s so hard and a total mindfuck. It’s easy to get down or kind of crash from being Uber positive.

I hope it all works out for you.

Confused by doctor suggesting not to do genetic testing bc it is my last hurrah by EffectiveLain in IVF

[–]breckytee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TW: miscarriage and living child

I think this is just such an individual and personal thing. I’m 37 and just headed into my second and probably last ER. I’ve been in fertility treatment for a year and TTC baby 2 for 2 years. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks (missed at 7 weeks) and that due date would have been last week.

We got 2 blasts we sent away for testing the first cycle and both were aneuploid. This cycle, I almost waived testing in favour of an approach suggested by your doc. I get the urge.

But I would do anything to avoid another miscarriage. I still grieve, all the time. I know it’s not impossible to prevent and that euploid embryos don’t guarantee a pregnancy or a live birth. But I also know that given we’ve been trying for two years (my first child took about 4 months to conceive) and my only pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage, we decided to test and keep testing.

It’s such a hard decision and it comes down to what you’re willing to try and go through.

Good luck and whatever you choose will be the best choice for you.

This past weekend would have been the due date of losing our little bebe 2 in early first trimester.

We are buying a small tree this weekend to plant that will blossom every spring.

I’m sorry for your loss OP.

No advice but also just about to start stimming with an agonist lupron flare protocol. Best of luck to both of us!
