Not looking for judgment or advice, just some kind words of support.
I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant, getting the confirmation tomorrow. The father isn't someone I can reach out to, I haven't been able to tell anyone and won't be planning to.
I intend to get an abortion once it's confirmed.

I've always been pretty independent but this just feels so lonely, going through all this waiting and anxiety alone.

Moms, did having daycare at your gym help you to go more often? Did the environment help?

Hubby thinks that we can workout at home (peloton, weight bench, online classes, jogging stroller) or in our community gym & pool. But I'm excited to join a local sports club with lots of amenities (classes, squash, tennis, swim) and 2.5 hrs daycare / day.
I'm remote so getting out of the house occasionally would be nice, plus give baby some exposure. Baby will start full time 9-4 daycare soon though.

Hello,
So giving my scenario and asking to you where is my fault in this.
First the company came to our campus giving the JD for Marketing.
While withing the first round of interview they changed it to SAP domain.
I got recruited as I was a fresher.
Then once I got my offer letter they have alloted me to Oracle.
I thought all of my batchmate are going to functional side, I will be with them.
Then they send me to Technical Oracle domain., which comprises of coding and all.

So far I’ve been through 1 IVF cycle. I have one embryo that is frozen waiting for transfer. My doctor is wanting me to do another round of IVF to back eggs for baby number two down the road. Has anyone been through this? I know of two people around my age that got pregnant naturally with their second baby after IVF. Does anyone know about banking embryos for future use instead of transferring? My insurance doesn’t cover anything so all this of out of pocket.

Going for my blood test tomorrow 11 days post FET. No symptoms yet but hoping for a positive news. Wish me luck !

I know this might be a controversial question, but in the hope that it could help someone out… does anyone know of a space where you can give/donate your unused/untouched/not expired fertility medication? I have so much left over and I know so many women pay out of pocket. Please let me know if there is some type of exchange that exists. Again, I understand why someone may be hesitant to take the medication but I would like to check. It seems insane to throw away the gonal F pen in my fridge 🙏🏼

Did folks take any supplements before a FET? I've seen Vitamin E and L-Arginine recommended, plus Vitamin D and prenatals. (cont)

Anyone have experience with multiples over two? I am currently in big law and worried about having to go on bed rest as I am almost through my first trimester and am already having very uncomfortable back pain. This is also my first pregnancy, so I am looking for any advice from anyone else who has gone through something similar because I literally do not know anyone who can relate. Thanks in advance!

I am on day 9 of my egg freezing journey and absolutely feeling all associated emotions. I am almost 35, still single, and at the height of my big law career. While I’m grateful and blessed to be in this journey, I’m feeling so much emotionally and physically. Any coping tips? My stomach feels so heavy (doc saw 36 eggs on Monday - though of course all aren’t and won’t mature). Doc also told me to refrain from heating pads which have been my best friend through all this 😭 would 💕 any/all insight!

I am dealing with depression and anxiety due to upcoming criminal charges against my father and his partner (im the one pressing charges), a DOR diagnosis (I am single, 33 and AMH of 0.23 with no contributing lifestyle factors), a failed first egg freezing cycle, and fear of losing my job due to being on the bench for nearly 3mos. I don’t know what to do and am feeling increasingly desperate. (cont’)

Anyone have a successful baby after first IUI or first IVF?

I have had three FETs, three pregnancies, and 2 miscarriages around 6 weeks. I have my 6 week ultrasound tomorrow for the third pregnancy and I am terrified. I didn’t even want to make the appointment.

my apartment building messed up receiving my IVF meds. the box sat unrefrigerated for 2 days and by the time I got it, all the ice packs inside were melted (though still cool to the touch). (cont)
