Hi all,
Does any have experience with Kind IVF? We initially tried though LWC but was suggested by the doctor to go through this route and they seem very confident this should work. I’m 30 and my wife is 26, just don’t want to spend money if it’s less likely to work.
I am truly going crazy. I know I’m crazy and silly for doing it but I couldn’t help myself and now I wish I didn’t do it (especially because I’ve been here before) I tested negative with clearblue day 4 and now I’m going crazy with anxiousness thinking it’s negative. Anyone else tested day 4 negative and got positive later ? Also I had cramps day 1-3 and now my cramps have gone. Now and again, I get little electric shock type pain but nothing like day 1-3. I just keep saying to myself, please God hear my prayers.

Hi everyone,
People very close to us, our sisters, close friends have been through IVF. We saw what it did to them and their partners. We don't need to describe it here as you already know.
That experience is why we're here. We're a small team of graduate students trying to figure out how to make this journey a little less hard for couples. We're not building anything yet, just listening.
If you have 5 minutes, this short anonymous survey would mean a lot to us:

Thank you for sharing something so personal with strangers.
I honestly don’t know if I’m looking for advice, hope, or just somewhere to let this out because I feel like I’m drowning emotionally.
I’ve just turned 42 and we are only now starting IVF/ICSI after years of trying naturally. After my miscarriage a few years ago, I begged my husband to take fertility testing and IVF more seriously, but he truly believed we would eventually get pregnant naturally. For so long I blamed myself, my age, stress, everything… and now we’ve found out he actually has low sperm count too. So natural was never going to work.
What breaks my heart is that we lost years.
I cannot stop thinking: “What if we had done this at 39 or 40?”
Now I feel like I’m racing against time and terrified my eggs are too old. My AMH is 10.2, but at 42 I know egg quality is the biggest factor and that scares me so much.
I’m constantly crying. I wake up in panic attacks. I can’t sit still or calm my mind. Some days I genuinely feel like I’m losing myself from grief and fear. I’m terrified of going through IVF and it not working, terrified of losing my relationship under the pressure, and terrified of ending up alone without the baby we both always wanted.
The hardest part is I know he wants children so badly too, and despite everything, I still love him deeply. I just feel so angry at the lost time and guilty that I didn’t push harder sooner.
Has anyone else started IVF/ICSI at 42 with their own eggs?
How did you cope mentally with the fear and regret?
Did anyone have success after feeling like time had completely run out?
Please be kind. I’m really struggling emotionally right now.
Hello!! I need some hope guys! I did a frozen embryo transfer 8 days ago and I barely today got a very very faint positive, squinter for sure. Tested first thing in the morning. Heard clear blue can have shadows that may confuse you. Has anyone experienced this? Anyone else tested this late and have babies? Or are pregnant? Thank you! This girl is anxious! Beta is on Monday!
So it took us 5 years to conceive our daughter (10 months) via ICSI. We have 4 embryos left and I really want a second child. For my husband it's a firm no. He wants his freedom as he has now and is already tired and worked up even though Im the one on maternity leave. I feel so bad for my daughter as she won't have any other relatives. No nieces, nephews etc. I'm 40 and dont have my parents anymore so I know the feeling of being by myself. I don't want that for her. I don't want a quiet childhood for her. Also I'm so conflicted to discard the embryos for my personal believe. I don't know where to go from here besides just accepting the situation trough therapy.
