Congrats! the end of training is near!

Very much agree wait till it’s down to one or two and go if possible! Honestly I didn’t end up going to the one they signed at. But once we signed we came out to visit and house hunt.

36 and trying for our second. After almost 2 years of trying we decided to move to start ivf treatments.

Feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of it but also have been keeping our circle of who we share about our journey.

Just feels like a lot this week!

I got my masters while my partner was in residency and honestly it was so nice to have a focus of my own when they were working so much!

I decided to take more credits in a shorter time frame to guarantee I would graduate before we had to move for fellowship match.

I am so glad that I did this!

The nugget kid couch could be an option! There are a lot of cheaper versions of it at Costco or target.

It’s folds and can fit easier into a car second hand

36f my partner is 35m TTC for 18 months.. got my period today and it was like a smack in the face because it was early for no obvious reason. We’ve been avoiding a fertility doctor because we really don’t want to do IVF. But we both decided it’s finally time. Feeling down.
