IVF and feeling alone

Ashley

Hey ladies. I’m days away from starting my Stim meds for my first round of IVF after trying for a year with my husband. I’m 35.5 and we’ve been diagnosed with unexplained secondary infertility.

Is anyone else having a hard time feeling alone in this? My husband understands the best he can I suppose, but I don’t feel like he really gets it.

The comments from my family and friends and coworkers…

“Why don’t you just adopt?”

“Maybe this isn’t God’s plan for you.”

“Maybe you have a vitamin deficiency.”

“Your sisters had no problems getting pregnant.”

“I’d lend you my uterus if I wouldn’t get fat.”

“Maybe you should use donor eggs.”

“I know someone who is 40 and just got pregnant.”

It’s just really taxing and I haven’t even started yet. Any support would be helpful!
