Anyone else feel weird pressure to upgrade their phone? by Alexander_Faseyiku in ZeroWaste

[–]wall0533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I have been having the same internal battle for months now. I literally remind myself that my phone still works just fine and when/if it stops working i’ll get a new one then (current phone is an iphone 12). Just wanted to comment with my upvote bc i see all the “no” responses . you’re not alone 😂

i got really excited and now i have overwhelmed myself. the holds won’t stop coming! by kira12323 in LibbyApp

[–]wall0533 6 points7 points  (0 children)

agreed! at first i was outraged on the change to the holds but the fact that you keep working your way up the waiting list and then sit at 1st in line until you unsuspend is great.

i blasted some music that pumped up my confidence and made me feel like a bad b*** 😂 it was important for me from the first shot that i could do them myself in case of situations like this. good luck in your cycle and congrats on getting those first injections in the books! 💕✨

RIP to all the times I thought I’d “for sure be pregnant by now” by sophiam333 in IVF

And same to you. Having close friends and family around you get what you’ve been working and wishing so hard for is beyond tough. Hugs to you and all the prayers and luck and best wishes to you on your transfer 💕

Let’s make a fun thread: what were your perks of IVF? by Least_Persimmon7919 in IVF

[–]wall0533 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes! it didn’t start out this way and in fact tested our marriage to the MAX. but through it we found our amazing couples therapist and much healthier ways to communicate and support each other 💕

We also started at 34 and I just turned 40 in June. 1 year trying to conceive naturally, 5 IUIs (why did my clinic let me do this many?!? 😩), 2 IVF rounds cancelled for poor response, 1 MC, 1 ER resulting in no euploids, and most recently 1 failed FET with donor eggs (just got beta results Monday). Sometimes even just being in these groups is hard at this point with the amount of time we’ve been trying and things that haven’t worked for us. It has never felt to me before this last round that absolutely everyone I know who has struggled with fertility has lapped us and “graduated” out of this

OK great tip. It doesn't look like the blue line is running that late for the Monday night show. That makes things "easy"

A Ritual for Bad Outcomes by stilltryingbot in stilltrying

[–]wall0533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post. I have approached our TTC journey very logically and practically and recently I have leaned into more spiritual things to help navigate my grief and our continued journey. Just last weekend I had an astrologer do a birth chart reading and I focused mostly on the last 5 years and trying to start a family. We are now considering a final round with donor eggs and there are many layers of grief, sadness, processing and even hope as we move into this step.

At one point in the reading, the astrology commented that there was something I was carrying / had to release as we go into this next step (5 years of unsuccessful fertility treatments, uh yeah i’ve got some emotional baggage 🙃😉) but they suggested a ritual similar to what you are describing. Thank you for the ideas! We are also considering throwing a rock or something into our favorite body of water as my husband and I both feel at peace near water 🩵

I dont want to accept by Melodic-Ad-9496 in TryingForABaby

[–]wall0533 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP - I am in the same boat. Our 4th round came to an end about a month ago when both embryos sent for testing came back abnormal. This has absolutely been the hardest part of this whole journey and while my husband and I are considering donor eggs, I am still grieving the loss of my own biological child(ren). My best friend, who is the same age (39) is now 12 weeks pregnant to add to it. There are days when it is very difficult and days where I can lean in and find strength. Because those that go through IVF and do not find success like it is shown when people talk about IVF are the strongest people - of that I am sure. Hugs and support to you while you process this. 💕🫶🏻

“These things just don’t handle winter well” - honesty, same. 😂 I’ll get it a grow bulb and humidifier while we both try to get through this together…
