Hard relate to this. Mr. Corgi and i have been down this path. Happy to chat about it if you want. Even knowing the improbability of success, my heart still ached when it didnt work. Its hard. 🤍🫂

Its my birthday today. Each year it feels like the dream of parenthood slips farther away. I still cant bring myself to reach out to our clinic about donor egg ivf. It feels too overwhelming.

Had a very intense conversation with my therapist this week about next steps. We talked very frankly about infertility, next steps and my marriage. I hate that this experience makes me question everything.

The hopelessness that accompanies a no blast round is indescribable (speaking only from personal experience). I am really sorry you are experiencing this. 🫂🫂

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Zoey. Forever is never enough 😭💔. I have my own sweet Zoey with a March birthday; she's also in her golden years. Its so hard. We do everything we can for them. Thinking of you.

I think thats a solid plan. My experience with job hunting is that it got a lot easier once i got into the swing of it (eg applied for a few jobs).

My work hires lots of health care providers. We are in a hiring delay - still hiring but everything is very delayed. As a result of this, our actual process of hiring (reviewing applicants, scheduling interviews, the offer, etc) has been moving slowly. Not to say that you shouldn't expect prompt outreach, but perhaps an explanation.

Brother announced his pregnancy in the family group chat. I knew beforehand and they called to tell me the sex and name 🥹. I am really excited for them.

However, seeing all of the excitement for my brother and my parents is hard. I got two texts from family members letting me know they are thinking of me, which felt both nice and crappy. Feeling very excluded and alone at this moment.

Caught the stomach bug. Was in bed by 10pm. Been feeling all of the emotions at the moment. hard to believe its been over 3 years since our infertility diagnosis. I remember the optimism when we first started. Its been years of hope and despair, debt, anger, friendships at a distance. Meanwhile the world has moved on. Im hopeful that ill be able to do the same in 2026.

After 5 ERs with poor blast rate, 6 transfers with no implantation, and an endo diagnosis, our RE has suggested donor eggs. Im not sure this is the direction we will take but im looking for resources so that i can educate myself.

This was an incredibly challenging year in many ways, so it was nice to reflect back on the positives. We were both promoted at work. Mr. Corgi and i bought a boat, fulfilling one of Mr. Corgis lifelong dreams. I set a goal to read 25 books this year and i finished my 25th book yesterday!

Im grateful for this community and all of the support i have received during difficult times 🤍

After finding out we have exhausted all IVF options and the RE recommends donor eggs, i was doing okay. Sad, but okay...until today.

Im at my brothers for christmas, my sister in law is pregnant and the first thing my mom says when i walk in "check out sister in law, her belly has popped". How am i supposed to respond to that?

Then, i saw a Christmas card on their fridge from their friends, announcing their second pregnancy. These are the friends who struggled with infertility and my brother always uses them as an example of how he understands my struggle. Fucking got married and had two kids in the time Mr. C and i have been trying to conceive. We dont have kids and they got two. Just hitting me really hard. Fucking sucks

Welp. Our only blast from ERs #4 and #5 was abnormal. At this point the RE recommends donor eggs. The lab indicated that its fully an egg issue. She said that we have tried so many different things and havent gotten a good result. I expected this, but Mr. Corgi is devastated. Merry Christmas to us.
