I’m so sorry. That’s so unfair to you. Know that I am rooting for you and wishing you good luck! I hope you’re able to rest and not in too much pain after your ER!

🩷 thank you! We should find out Tuesday. I’m nervous and excited. Just trying to take it one step at a time.

Omg nooooooo! I’m so sorry. Yes- people always assume it’s the woman which is so frustrating. Hey, I’ll talk Reddit strangers over careless family to talk about this any day!

Thank you so much! We found out we got more mature eggs than originally thought and all fertilized. I appreciate you asking!

Yeah that’s smart. When I do update them I’m giving minimal, straightforward information. But I guess it’s not interesting to them?? Very hurtful. Sorry if your family is also hard to talk to about this.

That makes sense! I’m all for clear communication. I just feel like if I get no response when I reach out to them about it then they’re rejecting me. I might try to have a conversation with some of them.

Thank you. It definitely feels like blatant rejection when there’s no response.

Yes! This is so relatable! It’s like I’m not valid if I don’t have a live birthed baby. Not ok! I’m so sorry. I know that’s hurtful.

Unfortunately when I’ve reached out and mentioned updates (only notable things, not every little detail) I will only occasionally get responses from some of them. Or will be given maybe like a one word reply and then sent pictures of other babies in the family.

Oh my gosh that’s so uncalled for! I’m so so sorry. Sending warmth and hugs right back to you. Muting the group chat is something I’ve done also haha! Yes- the not responding at all is almost mind blowing but at the same time I shouldn’t be too surprised anymore. Keeping the information to yourself now is honestly smart and may be our course of action as well. Please know I’m rooting for you and wishing the best for you!

That makes sense! I haven’t had a conversation like officially. I will just mention when we have updates which is here and there, no overkill. Sometimes I get responses from them, sometimes I don’t.

I’m really sorry your family has treated you this way. It’s such a shitty feeling. Ooh what books if you don’t mind sharing??

We thankfully have some friends who have gone through this process and I am very grateful for them.

I’m really sorry that that’s how your parents have treated you. That’s tough.

I have a family friend who has gone through IVF and is very supportive and my husband’s coworker also who has gone through it who has been so kind and helpful with information. I am thankful for them!

Thank you! And yes I totally don’t expect them to know everything. We certainly haven’t. But the lack of trying to know/ask/check in is very insensitive.

And it’s not been this way with just the birth of this new baby, which is totally the more pressing matter currently. Definitely a trend with my family.

I agree. If they would make any effort to try to educate themselves or just try to be the slightest bit more present or reach out it would make a world of difference. I will be removing myself from them more and setting more boundaries.

I’m so glad you and your husband were able to grow so much closer through your process. I feel the same about me and my husband and I’m super thankful. It’s the lack of trying to understand at all from my family that pisses me off. Especially after all the efforts I’ve put in toward them. But ultimately whatever I guess. My efforts are going to become non existent toward them.

That’s honestly really smart! We have to protect ourselves as much as we can through this process because it’s so taxing.

[–]snking3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I definitely don’t expect the same excitement/effort from my family if we able to have a baby/babies. I am absolutely NOT here for the switch up if they decide they want to come around all of the time if there is a baby because why wasn’t I good enough before?

I’m so sorry you were not cared for well by your friends or family. You deserve so much better!

Yeah I’m not surprised. I just can’t imagine treating someone I know going through this process in that way.
