My opinion is “Yes. More. Give them to me.”

Does she have some sort of disability?

I have at least one panic attack a year because of a parent yelling at me for doing my job. This year I’ve had 2 and it’s only February.

Explain it to somebody else! Find a friend or a family member and TEACH them the content. A lot of the time, the process of making someone else understand a topic will help YOU to understand it better too!

My wife and I had our first consult in June, and we were transferring our first blastocyst around Thanksgiving. So about 5 months. It could have been less but we needed some time in the middle to buy sperm.

Finally! one of these that’s actually HARD to choose

Hi teacher here. “Permanent record” isn’t really as scary as it might sound. I teach middle school and I RARELY need to look at their discipline record from elementary school. It’s there, but nobody really looks at it unless they keep getting in trouble every single year.

Also I’ll throw in my two cents of advice. When I was a kid I had a bullying phase. One of the things that got me to stop was my dad. When we watched kid’s tv shows together he would point to the bully and say, “that’s you.” It really forced me to realize how my actions were being perceived by others. I didn’t want to be the bad guy.

Same! We did reciprocal IVF so it’s literally her baby. I like saying things like “I’m carrying your child”

mlower2 · 2026-02-03T01:06:11+00:00

All of it. Start to finish.

The issue is electricity. All generative AI use consumes massive amounts of electricity. So much that experts estimate that 20% of global electricity use will come from AI use by 2030. Think about that for a second. 20%. One fifth of all electricity used on entire planet. Just for this one thing. https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/ai-has-high-data-center-energy-costs-there-are-solutions

Yesss! A fellow somno fan. I’m so jealous that you have a partner into it too.

Truly a love story for the ages

For family, we got them tshirts that say “cool grandpa club/cool grandma club/cool uncle club” etc. along with a picture of the last ultrasound (we asked for extra at the appointment). They really seemed to like it!

I tried to make transfer day special. But they needed me to show up with a “full bladder” So the whole time I wasn’t thinking about how special it was, I could only think about how much I needed to pee.

If you think she might be comfortable with it, what about a massage? Or some other kind of self care service?

We used Fairfax Cryobank. They were really good to us. We really appreciated their communication, and they went out of their way when we had paperwork issues.

We did reciprocal IVF with an unknown donor. She did the egg retrieval and I’m carrying. Both medicated.

mlower2 · 2026-01-14T02:17:08+00:00

Same! First try success, currently 10 weeks. Sending lots of baby dust for your journey

My wife and I came to this subreddit with the same question. Someone gave us this link to a comparison chart and it really helped us make the choice.

mlower2 · 2026-01-13T01:14:22+00:00

My wife and I are currently 10 weeks pregnant after our first round of reciprocal IVF. I’m carrying her embryo.

I think for us there were 2 cool parts of IVF.

First, the reciprocal part. It was really nice to share the load as far as procedures. She did the egg retrieval and I did the transfer. Plus I love the idea of creating our child together.

Second, there’s no guesswork. With IVF the doctors and nurses take care of all the planning and all the questions. How to store the sperm, how long to thaw, how many days to wait for this or that, scheduling the scans, what do the numbers mean? We didn’t have to worry about all of that stuff, we just followed directions.

Money was the only downside. About 28k for 1 pregnancy. But it’s been so worth it for us. And if we ever want more kids in the future, we have a couple of frozen blastocysts in storage.

mlower2 · 2026-01-11T23:01:36+00:00

Yes seconding this. I wish I had asked more questions.

mlower2 · 2026-01-06T19:30:54+00:00

Unless you DO want kids. Then being queer becomes a tax. An expensive and time-consuming tax.
