I (33F) lost my husband this past March and y'all, the widow's fire has been real. I just met a guy (31M) through friends and I've been insatiable all weekend. We're freakishly compatible in bed, and he's super understanding of my situation and that I'm just looking for companionship. I feel like I'm living this weird double life now where I'm still very much in love with my husband - all the photos are still up around my house, I'm going on vacations with his family, and I'm planning on getting pregnant with his baby this fall, but I'm also totally blushing over this new guy and can't stop thinking about him. Honestly, I feel like I'm holding all of this really well and maybe I just need affirmation that this can all exist at the same time?

Hello from my first ever reddit post!

I (33F) lost my husband unexpectedly last month and I'm looking to connect with women who have pursued conceiving after loss. We did IVF last year and have six embryos left, and I'd love to learn about both the physical and emotional experience from folks who have already gone through it. Are you glad you did it? Do you regret anything? What has been helpful or uplifting? What surprised you?

Thanks!
