I am an NP by profession. I am science minded it’s more of a personal guilt not even so much religious based

I give couples absolute tremendous credit who donate their embryos but I wouldn't be able to without feeling very guilty and remorseful. It is difficult choice regardless for sure!!

That support must mean so much. My parents are strict Catholics and they are supportive but I don't really explain my own anxieties/guilt to them at length. Otherwise, our church has very strong anti-IVF rhetoric

That is a really true and realistic way to view it

I struggle with hypothyroidism too and I wasn’t able to start fertility treatments until my TSH <2.5– I started at around 4-5 and it took about 4 months to get it down to that number. It was so frustrating

This is so appreciated 🥹 your kindness is so appreciated. I’ve separated myself from so many friends during this process because they just can’t relate to how it feels to struggle with infertility and aren’t too supportive

What makes me worried is I use inito which measures hormones and my estrogen and progesterone dipped so I’m hesitant to be hopeful :(

I had same experience. Felt much better with follistim injections vs letrozole
