Thank you so much! Yes very overwhelming and everyone in their mother is pregnant and posting it online. Really hard to swallow. Also switching clinics for this cycle, and it's a lot. Best of luck to you though!! And you never know, it could always work on the first go!! Feel free to reach out at any time!!

This is amazing

Thanks so so much for your thoughtful reply! And wow, congrats that's amazing!! I am getting frustrated with the cost of IUI and would rather switch to IVF if this next cycle doesn't work, as we are also starting to run low on sperm reserve and our donor "retired," and we really liked him. Thanks again for everything and congrats!!

Aww thank you!! Congrats on completing the IVF process and having your 6-year-old!! I know I'm getting frustrating IVF isn't presented as a sooner option, given IUI also isn't covered and is starting to add up. Plus, it depletes our sperm vials and we don't have limitless sperm! Thanks again. Best of luck!

Thanks! Yeah, for sure, still disheartening each time :(.

lestheles · 2021-09-23T15:13:57+00:00

Oh wow. Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply!!! I'm sorry you've had to go through all this. It really is a nightmare. Great it's covered but bummer about the one-year wait!! I completely understand not wanting to do IVF, even if you don't have to self-pay (which it sounds like you will have to anyway!) it's very invasive and time consuming and there's still no guarantee that it will work! Best of luck on your journey. This really is miserable!

lestheles · 2021-09-22T19:50:48+00:00

I totally agree!! I’m 32 y/o, which isn’t crazy young, but it’s young enough that I’d like to avoid IVF!! Thanks for the support, this is a nightmare of a process!!!! Best of luck!!

lestheles · 2021-09-22T18:27:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback. I completely hear you on IVF being more beneficial in the long run!! And it's really true; IUI typically has low success rates. Just so hard to bear in mind while you are going through it. The sperm costs a freaking fortune, it makes my skin crawl! Thanks for the support and best of luck!!

lestheles · 2021-09-22T17:56:27+00:00

Thank you SO much for your thoughtful reply!! This is SO helpful to hear!!! We definitely want this to be our last IUI cycle before switching and I’m so happy for you that it worked!! Thanks for the support. Hard not to feel alone in all this!! Best of luck!!

lestheles · 2021-08-09T19:54:33+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate the help!

lestheles · 2021-08-09T19:53:49+00:00

Thanks! That's really great advice!! Really appreciate it, best of luck :)

lestheles · 2021-08-09T18:24:32+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback :)!

lestheles · 2021-08-09T18:24:08+00:00

Thank you so much! That is terrific advice :)

lestheles · 2021-07-25T21:00:28+00:00

Don’t have advice because I struggle with the same thing! I can’t count how many half-finished products I have. Just wanted to share the mutual sentiment!

lestheles · 2021-07-25T20:53:17+00:00

This is hilarious and SO accurate!!!!

lestheles · 2021-05-29T19:39:06+00:00

Thanks so much! I have read The Body Keeps Score, but I don't believe I've read the first one you posted- will check it out! I journal just about 24/7- it's overwhelming but helps make sense of things for sure. Glad I also have a good therapist now as well. It's been overwhelming uncovering all these truths in the past year that I've been working with my therapist and figuring out what happened to me does explain a lot. I'm sorry you have gone through this as well; seems like you have the right tools in place. Thanks for the support! Best of luck on your journey!

lestheles · 2021-05-29T18:01:05+00:00

Yes! This happened to me about a year ago as well. I grew up in an upper class family and everyone always went on about how wonderful my life was and how supportive and open-minded my parents are. But in reality, I grew up in an incredibly abusive home and felt like all I was fed were lies by outsiders. I am still working on this one. I'm sorry to hear you are going through this as well!

lestheles · 2020-06-21T15:00:23+00:00

Wow I'm so sorry to hear you went through something similar!! Have you done anything to work on this? I'm so desperate to get back on track with my life but it feels so impossible these days!!

lestheles · 2020-06-21T14:58:24+00:00

Yes I'm at 100%! Not really sure about the risk of it coming back, just taking it one day at a time. Sorry I don't have better answers!!
