I genuinely don’t know if this is anxiety, overthinking or something else but the second I become aware of eye contact I suddenly forget how to do it naturally 😭 Either I avoid it too much and feel awkward or I force it so much that I start worrying I’m staring at the person. Then instead of listening properly I’m just sitting there thinking “am I making enough eye contact?? too much?? when do I look away??” 😅 Would really love to know if anyone else experiences this and if anything helped make conversations feel less mentally exhausting.

I went for a routine fertility workup thinking everything would be fine and somehow ended up discussing egg freezing within the same week 😔 My AMH was lower than expected for my age and ever since then I feel like I’ve been pushed into making decisions I never thought I’d have to make this early.

What’s making this harder is that I dont even know if I’ll ever need those frozen eggs. The whole process is expensive, physically draining and emotionally strange because technically nothing is “wrong” right now. But at the same time I keep thinking what if this is my best chance biologically and I ignore it?

For women who froze eggs after hearing things like low AMH/diminished ovarian reserve, do u feel grateful u did it or do u sometimes feel the fertility industry scared u into rushing?

After my miscarriage I dont even think my biggest fear is failed implantation anymore 😔 It’s getting pregnant again and then losing the baby after getting emotionally attached all over again.

My clinic is suggesting PGT testing now and logically I understand why, especially because alot of miscarriages can happen due to chromosomal abnormalities. But financially and emotionally IVF already feels overwhelming enough so now I’m stuck wondering whether adding genetic testing actually gave anyone more peace of mind during transfers.

Would really love hearing honest experiences from ppl who chose PGT mainly after pregnancy loss.

Was it one big moment or a series of small choices that finally added up?

My symptoms don’t always feel like period pain, and I’m trying to understand how others describe theirs.

I’m interested in knowing whether uterine enlargement caused similar sensations for others.

How do you find that middle ground?

I’ve noticed I’m pretty good at casual conversations… I can chat, joke, keep things light, no problem. But somehow it just stays there. I struggle to take it beyond that into something deeper or more meaningful. Like I don’t know when or how to shift from small talk to actually building a real connection. Sometimes I worry about coming off too intense, or just don’t know what to say next, so I stay in the safe zone.

Has anyone else felt like this? How do you actually move past that surface level and build closer friendships without it feeling forced or awkward?

The mood swings, the self-doubt, the feeling that my hormones are running the show. Does anyone else struggle with that?
