I cannot be the only one who is thinking this:
If I were Blake and my BFF Taylor totally disassociated with me during my lowest, I wouldn't want to go to that friend's wedding either?
You guys I'm freaking scared!
I feel like I know too much this go around.
I'm spiraling over what if this genetic mutation is in my eggs or in my husband's sperm? We tested negative for it but there is that possibility!
Because we've experienced such rarity, I can't help but think well that's totally something that would happen to ME.
I can't even count on a NIPT anymore because my last pregnancy it came back squeaky clean.
So realistically I won't know anything until I can take that single gene test and then what if it's something else!!!!!
I know this pregnancy is going to be hard.
Hi all,
Looking for ladies who TFMR for Noonan's syndrome.
Did you do an amniocentesis? Did you do a CVS?
OR did you rely on the NIPT Vistara test that specifically tests for NS?
Mine was a de novo mutation (PTPN11)
Most NS babies aren't diagnosed until birth / months later. So I know there aren't many of us. Help I'm spiraling
Hi guys,
I had my TFMR in February @ 23 weeks. I had my FET last Wednesday. I went into it thinking I'd be happy if it resulted in a positive, but fine if it was negative. It would give me another month free of PTSD lol
I impulsively tested yesterday at 4dpt, and it was positive. I'm excited and grateful, but also filled with fear, anxiety, and even dread.
I just did this. Now I have to do it again and go through the milestones of uncertainty. Last time I was so naive.
First one is actually getting my first beta, then it's getting my second and hoping it doubles.
How am I already looking ahead with such fear & anxiety? Is this what it's going to be like this whole time, God willing its an actual healthy baby?
All words of encouragement & wisdom are welcome
Thank you
Wish me luck you guys!!!!!!!!!
Edit* THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GOOD JUJU ✨
I think many times we have situations we work ourselves up thinking it will be so hard to get through and they come and go like nothing.
Today came and went. It was a little sad, I talked to my baby but I also knew the reality of what today would have looked like. I most likely would have never made it to today's due date. He was an IVF baby, so coming before 40 weeks was probable. He was a sick baby, so the chances of him even making it to full term was unlikely.
It makes me sad that I was unable to produce a healthy baby but I know good things are coming. I'm gearing up for another transfer (6/17) and I'm praying my baby in heaven (now guardian angel) helps that happen.
I'm sharing this for women on here who wonder like I did how hard today would be. Who in this moment cant fathom what their due date will do to them.
I'm here to tell you, you will get through it and you will forever be stronger for it.
For me today starts a new chapter. I'll NEVER forget the chapter I'm closing, but I'm ready to leave this sad one behind.
Sending those of you who are in the thick of it love.
Remember, the only way past it is through it.

Hi guys, I'm hoping for some positive stories for pregnancy #2 , embryo transfer 2! My issue was a blocked tube that needed to be removed.
I did IVF for my last pregnancy that ended at week 23. Sadly. It was a de novo genetic issue.
I'm now prepping for this second transfer and I'm so scared it's not going to work. What if that was my only chance? What if, what if ?!?!?!
Does anyone have a positive story about their second embryo transfer after the first one working?!?!
Hi guys, this week has been so rough. I haven't had a week like this since the week OF the D&E, which says a lot. I don't see my therapist until Saturday, so bear with me.
Monday, I started seeing my clinic again.
Tuesday, I get TWO texts from my friends that they're pregnant with their second baby.
Wednesday, I see my friend, who was two weeks ahead of me is at the hospital. Giving birth to her healthy baby.
Basically, I've been crying all week and feel like absolute garbage about how negative I feel about everyone's situation. I have had the ugliest thoughts about my closest friends.
It's just so unfair. Why did this have to happen to us? Why were we the chosen ones to experience such an unfair and tragic loss? Why were they able to have a healthy baby?
I know life is unfair but damn this hurts so bad.
Hi all,
How long after TFMR did you get pregnant?
My fertility clinic believes in waiting 6 months for the body to heal. They are allowing me a June transfer if all looks good but now I'm nervous about doing it 4 months later vs the 6 months they recommend. I mean granted, they're not going to proceed with a June transfer if labs/uterus doesn't look good but I guess I'm looking for some reassurance.
Thank you in advance!
Hi pregnant ladies,
I can't get pregnant naturally. Only via IVF. I got pregnant first try with my TFMR baby.
I'm finally in talks with my clinic again, and
I'm excited to get started again, but I'm also so worried and scared.
I feel like I'm finally in a better place emotionally....
What if I don't get pregnant first try again?
What if it's months of uncertainty again?
It sounds triggering AFFFF. I've worked so hard to get to the place I'm at now so go backwards again.
Did you guys feel this way too before conceiving or am I just talking to the void?
I'm gearing up to see my fertility doctors again and prep for transfer.
Right now it feels like I'm so behind in life when it comes to starting a family.
All my friends in my life who I see all the time have their first kid, one of my bffs just had her second. I was so excited to finally join the club.
Now that it's been ripped away from me, I feel left out again.
I know it'll happen for me but will it bother me as much that they already started their family years before I did once I finally get my baby?
I would hope that once I finally get my healthy baby, it won't matter how many kids they have or had before me... right?
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone had to be cleared by their MFM for their IVF clinic to proceed with an embryo transfer?
I finally spoke to my fertility clinic after 2 cycles, and they requested I have a pre-pregnancy consultation with my MFM before they give me the green light to transfer an embryo. I was 23 weeks pregnant before terminating.
I'm freaking out that he's going to say it's too soon, but IS IT? I just want to move on from this chapter of my life. I'm ready to welcome new life and a new chapter. I won't have this meeting for another 3 weeks. Blahhhhh
