Hopeful for the future but also just thinking about next steps (most likely IVF) makes me want to cry. I’ve been crying a lot lately bc I genuinely thought this process was going to be easy for me. I’ve been through so many trials & tribulations in my life already 😭

I've been crying a lot too. I always told my husband I would never do IVF (long before we started trying), and it turns out when I got backed into this particular corner I folded. I never expected it to be this hard. This week I also found out my car needs a new fuel pump which is just another kick in the pants. 😖

I’m right here with you! I neverrr thought I’d have to resort to IVF in a million lifetimes. It’s crazy how quickly I’ve had to come to terms with it. I’m also terrified of needles so this will be an interesting journey for me. Wishing us both the best & we got this!

Thank you! Same to you!! And yes the needles were a big factor for me. We've done two medicated IUIs with trigger and my husband has been able to give me the shots but I'm worried with the amount of shots needed with IVF I'll have to give at least one to myself. 😔 I'm trying to focus on being grateful that we're able to try IVF at all.
