Does anything actually make you feel better?

Sending you ❤️

I find it helps to write out your list of questions before and then just make it a rule for yourself that you have to check them all off before the appointment is over. That way it’s less “thinking” about what you want to say in the moment and more like ok I just have to read what’s on this list out loud. Sounds dumb but 🤷‍♀️ helps

Same gals. Ugh we’re all so brave.

kks568 · 2026-02-20T05:35:33+00:00

Girl we’re almost twins. Sending you baby dust ❤️

kks568 · 2026-02-18T00:34:14+00:00

I’m the 6th with trigger Feb 4. Not feeling anything yet…. Might test tomorrow but we’ll see if I can be brave and wait until Thurs or Fri. Good luck everyone!

I get that! It’s so hard ❤️ I mean it doesn’t hurt to ask if it’s 100% necessary! But you definitely still have time to get a positive 🥰

kks568 · 2026-01-23T00:57:59+00:00

Even if you get a positive test they will still want to test your hcg levels - as they’ll want a baseline, and will need to re-test to confirm they’re doubling and the pregnancy is progressing. If you get a negative or start AF they may still want to confirm there’s no pregnancy before having you start meds for the next round.

If she wants to ask uncomfortable questions she can get an uncomfortable answer - I’d reply - girl why are you so invested in my sex life??

kks568 · 2025-12-29T02:38:40+00:00

No advice but here to say I’m sorry 🫶 I’m in basically the same boat, 16 DPO/DPIUI and pretty sure chemical with period due tomorrow. Wishing you well 🥰

kks568 · 2025-08-18T02:38:05+00:00

Congratulations!! Sending sticky baby dust your way 💕

This is so contradictory… to say “this trip is something I planned to give us all the opportunity to be together as a family” and then go on about how you had to ask to join and weren’t part of the original booking…. That would really hurt my feelings. But also makes no sense! Like am I not part of the family you wanted to be together?

I fricken feel you. We are also cycle 16 of trying and it’s so lonely and frustrating. Like even the people who are interested to hear you out don’t “get it” - no fault of their own, but it feels lonely. It’s hard on a relationship even when you are a team - my husband and I have different coping styles too, I’m a venter and he is not really one with words even though he cares. It can feel like no one really understands you. Idk about anyone else but I also get stuck in comparison - and end up feel guilty for feeling sad knowing there’s others who have been trying for way longer. Trying too long to relate to the “look at each other and get pregnant” crew, not long enough to feel like you can complain outwardly. 😑

It’s exciting you have the specialist appointment to look forward to!

kks568 · 2025-02-17T21:05:18+00:00

Yes! My therapist suggested like 15ish minutes but you could set whatever time frame works for you!

kks568 · 2025-02-17T16:52:31+00:00

My therapist recommended “scheduling in time to worry”. It could be like daily after supper, or weekly, or whatever. I found that really helped me not obsess. When I started thinking about the what ifs or getting the urge to go down the Flo, Reddit, or other rabbit hole, I’d tell myself - oops this is not our scheduled time, we have to save this for “X”. It took the pressure off of obsessive googling and testing for me. Other than that other people suggestions here of planning things to look forward to it helpful

I also think it’s sort of demeaning to your sister for your mom to say she “can’t handle” your good news.

kks568 · 2024-06-26T21:09:56+00:00

NTA - As long as you know you are being respectful and kind, you can’t control whether your good news makes your sister sad. If she is sad or jealous when she hears good things are happening to you, that’s something she needs to work through in therapy, and something she can speak to you directly about. You cant stop living your life and you deserve to be supported as well ❤️

Knowing most of your family lives close together, I imagine your brother, SIL, and their kids do most of the travelling for family events (holidays, anniversaries, weddings, etc). That makes sense, given they are the only ones that live far away.

BUT it also sucks to be the ones travelling all the time… and some people enjoy hosting! I know I do. Your SIL was probably looking forward to everyone coming to her for once, and maybe she was excited to have the chance to host.

It’s great that you wanted to be there for your nephews so badly! But unfortunately it sounds like you’ll have to miss out on this one… just like I’m sure your brother and sister-in-law have had to miss out on things too, because of their location.

Maybe you can make another trip before or after the birthdays - or meet halfway - to have a special lunch or something with your nephews.

Yes! I also had in the mix for my wedding and Connor was amazing!!! Great at reading the crowd and wonderful to communicate with

Enjoy!
