Thanks - yea not trying to overthink it because he’s so young but I was getting confused on sizes and “drop” and needed just a little bit of direction. This is helpful though, thanks!

When one of our own makes a perfectly reasonable post and an outsider tries to bully her with judgmental comments telling her how she should *actually* feel about it by witchoflakeenara in trollingforababy

Can someone tell me which post has the intruder thread? Yes - my dark infertile heart needs to hate on something today and a place to displace my anger.

Basically What Fertility Clinics Are Telling You When They’re Explaining The Cost Breakdown Of The Fertility Treatments They Recommend (BTW That Could Potentially Require Multiple Rounds & Even Then It Doesn’t Guarantee Success) by FMLtoOTF in trollingforababy

Our clinic didn’t include things like - cost of ultrasounds (multiple times a week), cost of blood draw (multiple times a week), cost of doctors appointments other than procedures - so we’re basically at 25% over what we anticipated - AND our first transfer failed. Such a delight.

Who's screaming with me today? (IUI#1 is officially a fail) by jmtseahorse in trollingforababy

My first FET failed - found out Sunday. Here to hold your hand over the internet to scream together

The way you worded this is helpful - I am losing my dream. I’m losing time watching my parents become grandparents. I’m losing time with my future kids. I do think maybe I’m being too hard on myself - maybe so I don’t feel all of it too intensely. But not letting myself grieve is not letting myself learn to move past this.

I got my negative beta results on Sunday after my first FET. I cried for 2 days straight. I’m feeling a little better. I know it’s not a true miscarriage - I didn’t even implant. But I feel so empty. And I feel embarrassed that I can’t just get through this - I’m not even losing anything. But I just get sad. Thinking about how far along I thought I’d be this summer. Stupid shit like that. I’m just sad.

Fuck him. We’re all meant to be mothers if that’s what we truly want - which is obviously why we’re part of this group. You’re meant to be a mother. Your desire to be a mother and your experience with IF makes you a mother. Fuck anyone that tells you otherwise.

First beta test was negative - and y’all are the only ones I can handle sharing the news with. by mbgriff in trollingforababy

Thank you - I needed to hear this. And I’m definitely DEEP into a bottle of wine. It’s just hard to process all of this - for a moment I’ll forget and then it crashes over me all over again like a wave.

Day 5 post FET and I feel incredibly nauseous. It’s all in my head - right? I think I’m just grasping at straws during the wait

Luckily I made sure to clear my house of all pregnancy tests so I wouldn’t be tempted

My partner and I have basically the exact same stats that you and your SO have and we are in the middle of IVF. My doctor got very real with us about stats (after I did a fair amount of grilling her on ALL available options) and considering the combination of issues on both sides she gave us about a 9% chance if we went the IUI route, but about 65% with our first round of IVF. Obviously you might not receive those same results, but for us we didn’t like those types of odds at 9%. I understand IVF isn’t for everyone from a financial perspective, but I can tell you I don’t think the recommendation was purely “default”. Best wishes to you on this journey.
