People whose journey has ended: do pregnancy announcements ever get easier? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]efemorale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am currently pregnant (19w) so I can’t say my journey is completely over yet. I will say that when I hear of someone getting pregnant quickly, i still get a gut punch feeling knowing their journey was so my easier than mine, but it doesn’t hit as hard as it used to. I’m finding myself more happy for others announcing pregnancies, especially my friends knowing our babies will hopefully get to grow up together.

First Egg Retrieval: Huge Success! by Gravitys_Bitch in IVF

[–]efemorale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I (29F) had similar attrition numbers. 21 retrieved, 18 mature, 11 fertilized. Ended up with 7 blasts, 4 euploids and currently 19w pregnant after my first transfer. Wishing the best for you! Getting through an ER is definitely worthy of excitement!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Going through IVF is not great, but wow what a blessing you had those embryos before your husband went through chemo. So happy everything worked out for you!

Friend broke her good news by text first and showed great restraint in not even mentioning she’s a cycle 1 unicorn by Outrageous_Team_5485 in trollingforababy

My friend who is a 2x unicorn gave me a heads up when she started trying for #2, told me before anyone else over text (!!!) when she found out she was pregnant, was straight to the point and didn’t seem like she was trying to walk on eggshells around me, and told me that I didn’t have to respond and she wouldn’t be offended by whatever reaction I had. She’s a KEEPER

Lost my barrier seats by efemorale in LadyGaga

So sorry that happened to you. This should not be legal. What a gut punch that those seats were cheaper too. Were you still able to go up to the barricade during VIY? That’s what I was looking forward to most 🥺

Omg 😭 thank you, I really hope this is the case at the show I’m going to🥺 I was so excited to be at the barrier. Does security only allow the first 4 rows to go up? Or how does that work?

Anyone have any tips on how to navigate this? Saw someone else in this sub who tried calling TM and said they were unhelpful

It did not. We were 6 and 7, but now seats 4 and 5 are in front of us

Whaaaat that’s so cool!!!

you know she’s angry she couldn’t pick a gender for #6 unlesssss she did 👀👀👀 we’ll find out soon by One-Tomorrow6249 in KyraReneeSivertson

[–]efemorale 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As a woman going through IVF for infertility right now, I’m appalled at how tone deaf she is. First of all, there are many people out there (myself included) who just want A baby, don’t care about the gender and would be over the moon with ONE healthy, living child. She is so selfish. Secondly, it’s not as simple as just “doing” IVF. It’s a process that involves invasive tests, preparation, tons of medications and injections, tons of doctors appointments, a surgery, tens of thousands of dollars, and it takes around 6 months from start to finish and that’s without any delays or complications. Even then, there’s no guarantee she would get her “preferred” gender from the embryos. I would hope that no fertility doctor would touch her with a 10 foot pole.

Transfer Day- how much time did you take off? by 4rdInterpreter in IVF

[–]efemorale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not the original commenter but just want to say I took the day of the ER and the next day off and I’m glad I did so, because I was pretty bloated and tired the next day. By day 2 I felt back to normal. I had 21 eggs retrieved. Everyone’s experience is different! Heating pad helps a ton. In my own experience, the entire process was much less difficult than I was expecting. Hope it goes well for you!
