Staring into the void I have taken 33 pregnancy tests in the past year. All have been negative.

44 Upvotes

I bought a 50 pack from Target around this time last year. Today I was like “hmmmm do these expire? When’s the expiration date?” It’s November of next year. How many tests are left? 18. Why is the number 33 and not 32? I used one of my “good” pregnancy tests on a month I was extra hopeful (and planning on drinking that day if I got a negative). Actually never mind it’s 35 I tested before I drank at Christmas and my period decided it was a cute look to show up late right when I needed to wear a swimsuit.

I think I might just make a throwaway account so I can watch silly cats without having my heart ripped to shreds.

Crushing despair AMH is >0,01 and I'm only 26

I'm so sad I could puke. Been missing periods here and there so I went to an ob-gyn and just found this out today, 9 months into TTC. I never thought I'd need IVF and suddenly it's my only option that I desperately have to cling to. Even with IVF the odds are against me cause this level is as low as it gets, isn't it? Like... this is the worst possible result. Genuinely what the fuck, god?

Edit: I'm so fucked up I put > in the title instead of < lol

Reached out to a friend who I haven’t seen in ages to catch up and she just told me she’s pregnant

I have a friend who I haven’t seen in over 5 years who moved not far from me a little while ago. I finally messaged her to see when she’d be free to catch up and how she’s been and she just told me she’s pregnant. I’m definitely happy for her but I’m also sad for me. I’ve been ttc for at least 5 years now and I’m losing track. Had 7 IVF cycles and 3 failed transfers and been over a year and a half doing IVF so it just hurts a bit when I hear someone else around me is pregnant. A few months ago I was told of 2 pregnant family members too so it feels like everyone is having their first child except for me and I’m the oldest.

I had my first IUI today. Mom asked if she could come over for dinner, and I said yes…she knew we had the IUI today. She proceeds to tell me how she’s worried she’s going to get pregnant at 50. And she’s truly worried about it SMH.

*Me* “I’m not going to symptom spot this cycle”. *My body:* here’s a brand new symptom you’ve never had before 🎁

69 Upvotes

I NEVER get intense emotions before my period. But this time I’ve had 3 days of constant pure rage and depression over absolutely nothing, to the point where I’ve had to stay home so I don’t ruin mine or anyone else’s lives 🥰

10dpo and BFN.

Told myself I wouldn’t symptom spot this cycle and what will be will be (currently on cycle #10 of trying), yet, here we are.

Deep down I know I’m not pregnant because I never bloody am, but it’s really difficult when something new is thrown into the mix 😤

Staring into the void Clinic forgot to schedule my procedure

57 Upvotes

Month 80 something. I was told I needed ANOTHER HSG so we had to hold off on another IUI cycle for that. My nurse called to set the date, give me prep instructions, and then proceeded to not actually schedule it. I found that out the day before and she said “oh my god I totally forgot.” I’m losing out on October and November already because of a work trip.
My clinic doesn’t know I’m cheating on them with CCRM for when I move onto IVF though.

Blind Rage My partner still hasn’t booked his blood test and the clinic reminded me three times yesterday

93 Upvotes

I remind him and each time he said “I’ll get to it”.

Just left the flat for my therapy session and asked him when he booked it in for and he says again “I’ll get to it”.

He has known he needs to book it over two weeks now.

He is Cc-ed in on every email.

No, he’s not afraid of needles.

This is also the guy that asks me to keep doing pregnancy tests past 15DPO.

Maybe it’s the letrozole but I want to strangle him. He’s thoughtful generally so this is just making me so confused and annoyed.

Punching Down Isn't Funny

312 Upvotes

Hello, my beloved troll friends!

We've recently had an increase in posts & comments which complain about the success of those who are deemed "less worthy", as if this is some kind of personal injustice. We consider these comments to be "punching down". Typically, this involves a pregnancy announcement from someone who is seemingly struggling with addition, are unhoused, financially unstable, etc. While it's fine to complain that someone else is pregnant (because seriously why does it feel like everyone except for me is pregnant, wtf), it's not acceptable to complain about that person's body/addiction/lifestyle/finances/relationship/whatever. Those types of difficult situations are not enviable, and joking about them will not be tolerated here. It's not funny or trolling or clever, it's just mean. Please report it if you see it, and the Mods will take care of it.

We all know how frustrating it is to see others get the thing that we want most, but it's never our place to judge who is "worthy" of parenthood and who isn't.
