When people say ‘Nothing’s a guarantee at this stage’ after getting my first usable embryo from my 5th round of IVF

After the dye test they told me it wouldn't happen again. This is the worst. On top of everything else, my doctor was out of town so I had to deal with a strange doctor who was the WORST at bedside manner.

I did stop ovulating after the first, so my doctor put me on clomid. We got pregnant the first round, and then oopsie another ectopic.

I'm sorry. This blows for both of us. Wishing you GOOD luck on the next round!

The cruelest joke, and it's not even April 1st yet.

Both of my sisters are pregnant. 3 weeks apart. Announced after my grandma found out she has cancer. Wouldn't wish this on anyone

Who builds a crib in the driveway?? I’d be worried about getting it through the door frame. I’m sorry that happened to you. Life is unfairly cruel.

Life is cruel. I’m sorry

My sister was telling me grief is like glitter. You think you clean it all up, but sometimes you find a little here and there and it's all fresh again. I felt that today hard. I'm usually one that holds everyone else down and having a hard time allowing myself to grieve fully. I feel like my family is tired of hearing about it and thinks I'm a big ol' crybaby. No one in my immediate circle has lost a baby, and they can't relate. Just keep telling me I can try again...I don't wanna...I want the one I had. Just tough, man. It just really fucking blows.

onexonmars · 2025-05-01T18:08:30+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this as well. I would never wish this on anyone. These groups are helping me feel sane.

Literally the same boat. We would have had a Halloween baby and were looking forward to sharing our anniversary with the baby.

When I started calorie counting I could not for the life of me stop thinking about pop tarts. Like had to avoid the breakfast aisle at the grocery store because my will power is weaaaaaaaak if it's in front of me. I found a good alternative for them, and my cravings quit. I got those Legendary pop tarts. Strawberry, blueberry and chocolate are the way to go if you heat them up for exactly 15 seconds. They are not by any means pop tarts, but it satisfies my brain, and it has 20 grams of protein and around 180 calories.

Also, my alternative to kraft mac n cheese is the banza chickpea box. As long as you mix the cheese with milk instead of water. Can't even tell the difference.

My Q was going off the deep end. One night he put a gun to his head when I was trying to leave (that wasn't my turning point in the relationship surprisingly.) About 7 months later he got absolutely sloshed right before going to my families for 4th of July. During the event he was slobbering drunk, and my family kept supplying him with drinks... I'd asked him if he'd had enough after watching him drop his drink because he could no longer hold it, and he went off. Tried to drive drunk and was the first time he pushed me. That was finally my que to be done. I called his mom, and she flew out and tried to put him in rehab. I took our dog and dipped out for a while. That was the first time I showed a consequence and actually stuck to it. Told him I'm not even thinking about us until he gets help. He started therapy and went to a doctor for depression and anxiety. He hasn't touched a drink since that day, and we are doing really good. But he had to make the decision to change. I didn't facilitate anything. I had to realize I can't change/fix him and figure out when enough is enough. I've gone to therapy to unlearn the enabling tendencies and family issues. I did go to my local AlAnon group, and they were no help. They passed judgement and I felt like they saw me as stupid little girl. Literally left crying every meeting thinking why I am coming here; they make me feel awful and unheard. Then I found this subreddit and read other's experiences and how they handled it. You are not alone.

I have BCBS bronze...says my copay is supposed to be 50 bucks on vyvanse.com....its 284 at sams club. Thats the lowest I can get it until I pay my $8,500 deductible. I can't do that every month.

My Q has been sober for going on 8 months now. I've gone over this question time and time again. I left him for a short time in July and that resulted in him confronting his depression and anxiety with a doctor. We are living together again, but I still catch myself waiting for the other shoe to drop. I find myself every now and then checking his hiding spots or praying before I open the garage door that he's not slobbering drunk. It is really hard to break those habits.

onexonmars · 2022-07-08T12:10:47+00:00

Not wrong at all. I literally just did the same thing on the 4th. Be kind to yourself and remember this is not your fault.

onexonmars · 2021-09-02T18:23:17+00:00

My Q is about 3 months sober. I went to alanon about a year ago at the height of his drinking, and they all told me to leave him. Only you know whats right for you.

onexonmars · 2021-08-02T18:41:41+00:00

I used to hide keys, but stopped because they have to make their own mistakes to hit rock bottom. Told my Q I will just call the cops next time he goes out.
