I don’t mind at all. I am totally transparent in all this, as I think it’s really important to encourage dialogue. It’s still just so damn personal, but I try really hard. I was 32 when I started. We go waaay back and actually had two spontaneous pregnancies of our own before we were trying or married. I was actually…

This whole process, with hormones fanning the flames, gives “emotional roller coaster” new meaning. Sometimes you do have to just step back. And I think a lot of credit goes to you for recognizing that. That right there shows that you have *not* let your emotions get the best of you, even if it often feels otherwise.

My very first cycle was not a winner. I have since done two more, and now have two littles to show for it. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained in a cycle, even if the outcome is not favorable. All my fingers crossed for you!!

For me, the numbness eventually gave way to persistent itchiness. It was, by far, the worst part of the whole thing for me

I believe that one may have been here, in the lovely, and ever progressive state of Kansas. (I can't be certain you're not citing a different case though) I work for a reproductive endocrinologist, and we added an entire consent form to our routine stack, as a result of that one

Do you have numb patches down your legs from the progesterone injections?

I’m wishing you so much luck with your upcoming cycle!

I want to know more about the online mom groups. Local/regional, or bigger?

This made me laugh

I love every word of this comment. And your name. Bravo! Bravo!

This. This so much. Why on earth do these people deserve anonymity? They previously posted these comments ON THE INTERNET, after all. I am actually angry they were afforded this good grace

Would give 500 stars, if I could

No, I get it. I have been ridiculed before for saying, “my fingernails can’t breathe.”

I was so perplexed by this!

Nordstrom once, here. Cuz I'm classy like that, lol

This shit is bananas

I work in infertility (I’ve also dealt with infertility)...The stat she has quoted is largely still considered valid. And a cursory statistics review supports it. We quote an average of 15-20% chance to our patients. That’s per month, in a fully fertile couple. Diminished ovarian reserve will lower that. Age trumps…

I came here just to ask, why are these glasses being worn that way??

I love Wells on Wells! I think. Every time I’ve been there I’m hammered
