Hey everyone, I know this question has been asked before many times, but I wanted to see if anyone could offer any insight or advice for our particular case.

I’ll be 27 at the time of my first ER in September, and my husband is 27. His SAs have come back good with most recent one being a little low on count (but this doesn’t matter for ICSI, which is what we’ll be doing). I on the other hand, have PMOS (PCOS) managed by metformin, stage 1 endometriosis (last excised February 2026), and hashimoto’s managed by levothyroxine. All of our bloods have come back fine and normal (including karyotyping and RPL panel)

Our doctor has said testing is totally up to us and he doesn’t have a strong opinion either way because on one hand we are young, but on the other we have had two losses prior to starting IVF.

Wanted to edit to add that both of our losses were before my laparoscopy and I have not been pregnant since my second loss in August 2025.

Our insurance does not cover pgt testing and it would be an additional 2k out of pocket for us.

Anyone have any insight, advice, or personal experience to share?

I’ve been seeing these posts about sharing journals and being part of a group penpal/junk journal thing! I want to do this and don’t know where to look to join a group! If anyone knows or can help me out I’d love it!

Does anyone have a day of schedule for the show? Mine is in a week and I have VIP soundcheck but haven’t gotten any info on it.

Or can someone tell me when to expect some info?

This time I did not include the picture from the book because the post kept getting removed.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share something I’m confused by. I’ve read the deal, the mistake, and the score so far, and watched the season of the show on prime.

While reading, I pictured Beau as a white guy as he was described with blue eyes and dark hair, and then in the show he is white as well. I don’t think there are any descriptions that would allude to him being black? But then I just picked up the special edition copy of the Score and he’s shown in this scene as a black guy. Was this just a case of artist’s liberty? Did I miss something?

I don’t mean for this to cause racial arguments about characters, so please keep it civil!

ISO Huge Golden Dragon! I have large lavender dragon nwt, little onyx dragon nwot, floofie st. bernard nwt, huge barnabus pig, cream bunny with rose nwt, and some others I might be willing to trade for one. Also willing to trade a few jellies for huge golden dragon depending on which ones!

Hi everyone. I'm new to this community, though I never thought I would ever be in the position I am, as I'm sure many of you feel that way as well.

TW: Loss
I'm 26 years old, going into my 20th cycle TTC. My husband and I started trying to conceive in October of 2024. We never thought it would necessarily be easy for us, as I have endometriosis and PCOS, but neither of us thought we would be where we are right now.

I got pregnant in December of 2024 and we were over the moon and felt incredibly lucky that it happened so quickly. All of this was ripped away from us in January of 2025 when it ended in a blighted ovum loss.

For the next seven months we tried with no success, and my cycles were messed up and worse than they'd been in awhile. In August of '25 we did our first IUI which turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. October '25 we did another IUI which just failed.

We took a break from medicated cycles for a few months, and I had an excision surgery for my endo in February 2026.

Since then, I've started metformin, a new thyroid medication, and we've continued to try with letrozole without success.

On May 15th we have a consult with a new doctor to discuss starting IVF. I have a sinking feeling that IVF won't work for us either, and I'm just so sad, and also scared. Because if IVF doesn't work, what else is there to do or try?

I think I just need support right now, especially because even though I have researched IVF, I still don't know what it's going to look like for me.
