Last Friday was my first egg retrieval. They retrieved 9 but only 5 made survived the night, if that’s the proper terminology. Devastated would be an understatement because I had over 20 follicles, but I also have PCOS.

I have been trying naturally for maybe 3 yrs and finally decided to try <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, however emotionally I feel set back although I am grateful!

I think that my lesson currently is patience.

There are so many women longing to conceive, I feel it’s unfair to wallow however I’m pretty exhausted.

Just wanted to vent a little, to people who actually get it, even though I know everyone can empathize or even sympathize. This process has been one of the most courageous and self motivating things that I’ve ever done. I find myself angry at a number of things and selfish for feeling this way and also wanting to be positive for myself and others.

It’s a lot!
