Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a bit about my experience with IVF. It’s been a real rollercoaster of emotions - from excitement to anxiety and everything in between. For those out there who are also going through this process, know that you’re not alone. The shots, the appointments, the waiting… it can feel like a never-ending cycle.
But amidst all the uncertainty, there’s also a glimmer of hope. The support from my partner, family, and friends has been my lifeline through it all. And the moments when we get good news make all the challenges seem worth it.
So, if anyone else is on
This is so beautifully written and incredibly heartbreaking. I believe many of us can strongly relate to every word here. In the end, the comfort lies in the fact that we are not alone. The thousands of people reaching out to you means you are not alone.
This really made me emotional. I can relate so much, especially the part about feeling your heart sink when the clinic phone number pops up. The journey of IVF is a whirlwind that I never expected to be a part of, but it’s comforting to know that we’re not alone. The strength of IVF warriors is truly admirable.
Thank you for bringing honesty, poetry, and pain into my life. This is my reality now.
I completely understand and relate to all of this. The nurse doesn’t even go over the transfer steps because they assume I know them already. I can navigate the clinic and medication schedule on my own. The alarms for shots and meds never stop, leading to constant fatigue and stress. I always wonder if it will finally work this time, while my husband seems indifferent. This journey can feel isolating and overwhelming, but I want you to know I am here with you, supporting you all the way.
I can’t believe how much I can relate to this. I truly hope everything turns out well for you this time.
I didn’t anticipate reading such a remarkable poem. It is wonderfully written!
Just wanted to echo that this writing is absolutely fantastic and really speaks to me. You’re truly amazing and I hope you receive the incredible news we’re all hoping for!
I really enjoy this. In the past, I have shared some of my writing about IVF on the Pregnancy After Loss Support blog. If you are interested in publishing it there, let me know and I can connect you with the wonderful people who manage the organization.
I appreciate this 
, thank you.
I am unable to take calls from the clinic due to the overwhelming emotions it brings. The trigger shot for my 7th and final ER has been done, and while I try not to hope, it’s hard to ignore the fear of being disappointed once again.
I am grateful to all for the kind messages. This community has been my rock during tough times. I appreciate those who take the time to respond or leave a note. The support from a distance is greatly comforting.
This creation is stunning. Thank you for turning chaos into beauty.
This is exactly right! It’s like playing a complex game of 4D chess that is both physically and mentally challenging, expensive, and uncertain in the outcome of a successful pregnancy.
I find this work of art to be worth considering for publication! It captures the mix of sadness and humor that many of us can relate to. I had a good laugh while reading it.
Wow, what a stunning sight!
This elicited strong emotions in me.
Great job, OP! This is a one-of-a-kind experience that nobody can fully anticipate. Sending supportive hugs your way, fellow internet user. 
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I can relate so much to this! I recently ended up in the ER because my heart hasn’t been doing well. Despite feeling okay, my mind and body have been affected by stress and now I feel like a mess. I have a call scheduled with my doctor later to discuss next steps, but the anxiety is overwhelming. It’s been 3 weeks since my 2nd FET and I can’t shake this feeling of unease. Just know that you are not alone in this struggle.
