I’ve been going through IVF for 6 years and have experienced so many losses. I still have faith I will have a pregnancy that sticks. I’m feeling a bit low since learning my cousin gave birth to her baby. She declared she never wanted to have children for years and accidentally got pregnant. It hurts my heart. I just want to put this out there that I still have faith and will keep trying.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I know it is hard to see others with what you want more than anything, but it has nothing to do with your journey. Of course you can’t help how you feel, but please still be kind to her and happy for her.

Hang in there and don’t give up. This will happen for you, it’ll just take a little more time and that’s totally okay. Wishing you the best!

Sending love. My brother and his wife never wanted kids, and now I have two nephews, both conceived during my infertility journey. It can be so painful and so joyous at the same time. Be gentle with yourself.

I’m so sorry if you want to talk please reach out 🙏 I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at 29 y.o and will be dealing with IVF in the next year after clearing cells. I’m part of a ton of support groups on Facebook and many with multiple IVF failures have found success with Reproductibe Immunology protocals… have you tried it yet?

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval?

Finally had a breakdown over infertility this AM and trying to pull myself together for Zoom. My tests are fine, but husband can’t deliver during my fertile window. I feel so hopeless with every month that goes by, and he doesn’t have any sense of urgency when HE is the one who wants kids more than I do. Just needed to vent.
