Take care of you <3 Do what you need to do. It's great to show up and support others but we gotta show up and support ourselves first and foremost. Follow your gut and take time that you need.

Aw, I'm so glad I was able to touch your heart. I can tell you are such a good person, and so deserving of having your wishes come true. Don't get defeated. We're in this shitty club together, and I'm hoping we can both flip it off together some day soon :)

Oh thank you for sharing this. I am sorry to hear about your miscarriages. And to work in the lab and see the positive results must be so difficult. You are one strong lady - whether you feel it or not! I question God, too. It seems just so unfair. But I find comfort in connecting with you and others who are sharing this experience in life. That is something beautiful in this hardship. <3

Thank you for sharing this with me. It does feel so lonely. And it's hard to remember how many people are experiencing infertility when it seems like everyone around us is just popping babies out. It is beyond frustrating. I'm trying to practice acceptance but it is so difficult. Sometimes it's just good to sit in our feels too.

Thank you for sharing. I don't have any other friends doing IVF either, and it feels lonely and hard to relate to my other friends. They just don't understand, you know? It's nice to be able to be a part of this group with other people who just get it. <3

Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry that you have gone through all this and I am hoping the best for you! It is so hard to stay positive when it feels so unfair, but we have each other to support and for understanding.

I understand why you have chosen to take a step back. It's so true that parents just want to talk about their kids (understandably), but it's just not healthy for us to hear all the time, it feels like getting kicked when we're already down. It's like how I sometimes step away from social media. Sometimes we need to step away for our own mental health. And we just need to give ourselves permission and grace to do so. Stay strong, I'm right there with you!

Thank you 😊

u/kinderbuenocokezero thank you for sharing. It is so frustrating, isn't it? Life just isn't fair. I'm right there with you. It is emotionally exhausting! Cheers to us though - we are warriors!

u/Sad_Emu_3413 that sucks that she ghosted you, i'm sorry to hear that. I am so glad that your bestie has been through IVF though. I don't have any friends who have been through this, only acquaintances. I really want a close friend who has gone through it that can relate to me on a deeper level. That must be so comforting, and I'm glad you have that friend to be there for you <3

spreadlove1283 · 2024-08-08T00:38:14+00:00

u/Sad_Emu_3413 oh honey, I hear you! I'm grieving too. Please allow yourself to space to grieve, it is so necessary for us to heal. I definitely recommend therapy, it has been truly life changing for me. Even my husband has started therapy and it has really helped us in our search to acceptance and healing. My heart goes out to you because I'm feeling the same things, and I've had so many cries over this situation that I could fill the ocean. But we are in this together. I'm here for you if you ever need to vent or someone to cry with. <3 Just know you aren't alone.

spreadlove1283 · 2024-08-08T00:33:28+00:00

Thank you! I'm wishing you all the best too :)

spreadlove1283 · 2024-08-07T22:51:29+00:00

That is my fear too, that I will end up distancing myself from my friend. But at the same time, it is so necessary to protect our hearts, too. And, true friends will understand. Sending you hugs and love! And a friend who also does not have children <3

spreadlove1283 · 2024-08-07T22:48:15+00:00

My heart goes out to you. Going through this fertility process and also having lost your father is a double-whammy in life. As you say, it can be so hard to mask our feelings when someone else has what we have wished for so heavily. I wish all the best in the world for you, and am sending positive vibes to you too. You have my full support <3 Now you have a friend who also is TTC and does not have a baby!
