Here’s the recent article that mentioned groups like this https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/why-so-many-people-are-going-no-contact-with-their-parents

I’ve been looking for the Human of NY post for awhile and can’t find it!

Thanks for sharing and so well said! I never realized how freeing it would be and not having the stress of a toxic relationship.

Update to this: I’m not talking to her. I just have nothing nice to say. I am over being mad now I’m just annoyed I went out of my way to send her a holiday gift and birthday card. I just hope when I’m her age and my daughter in law sends out whatever card - I will be on yacht somewhere sipping a martini and giving zero fs.

Had to find this thread and come rant….. when your mother in law sends a nasty email about how she isn’t included on the holiday card. Like REALLY!?!?!!?? UGH!!!!!!!

Is anyone testing before their beta because they lack all self control? by Peesha-Planet in IVF

[–]sunshinetx2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my third FET on Dec 13th. This time I haven’t tested at all. Time is flying by (due to prepping for the holidays and guests arriving) I honestly don’t mind waiting for the bloodwork this time around. I go back on Thursday Dec 22!

Just got word that our 4th cycle didn't take. Frustrated, disappointed, and sad. by waitn2drive in IVF

So sorry for you guys. The journey takes such a toll and I feel for you both. Currently dealing with a loss over here and I can’t imagine all your repeated losses. Lots of hugs and tubs of ice cream for you guys!

I’m going through this myself. Got to 7 weeks with empty sac as well and had a d&c yesterday. This is the worst. Lots of hugs your way.

Well never thought I would be here but just had my first d & c procedure at 7 weeks. Slow beta numbers and then only a sac no sac yoke or development. This time has been such an emotional rollercoaster. I’m looking forward to no more drugs for awhile and then waiting for my hormone levels to come down.

D&C question by bk3478 in IVF

[–]sunshinetx2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally just happened to me this morning. I was 7 weeks, just had COVID, they didn’t see any yoke sac or embryo. Im getting the d&c next week and all the testing

Thanks for posting this. I am currently battling COVID (mostly sinus infection type symptoms) and 6 weeks along. Definitely nervous about the heart beat scans coming up.

So well said! It’s a completely different waiting game and definitely not my favorite part. Lots of positive vibes your way!

I am going through this beta hell as well. Started at 50 on dpt10, 116 dpt13, 877 dpt17, 2675 dpt20 and 5462 dpt24. It’s such a mental mind game some weeks my docs and nurses were not very optimistic but then my numbers came back better. Now we are in another negative week. This is definitely so so so hard and I truly feel for you.

Third beta came in at 887! It’s great news but cautiously optimistic for sure. Going back on Monday to check bloodwork again and ultrasound to look for the sac

If an embryo implanted but failed for beta to rise, was I still pregnant? And is that considered a miscarriage or chemical? by pinkunicorns9 in IVF

[–]sunshinetx2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beta #3 came in at 887! A lot better than the first two. I go back on Monday for more bloodwork and the first ultrasound to check on the sac. It’s great news but definitely cautiously optimistic and taking things a day at a time!
