✦ Featured story
After four failed transfers, I finally stopped pretending I was fine
I became an expert at performing okayness. Smiling through baby shower invitations, deflecting questions at family dinners, telling my husband "I'm good" when I wasn't. It took hitting a wall at my desk during a virtual meeting to realize how much I'd been carrying alone — and how badly I needed to stop.

Egg freezing
I froze my eggs at 34 and here's what nobody told me
The retrieval was fine. The waiting was not. Here's my honest take on the emotional side of the process that the clinic brochures leave out.

My husband's diagnosis changed us — and made us stronger
When the fertility issue turned out to be on his side, we both had to grieve separately before we could grieve together. This is what that looked like.

Just got my calendar for round 2. Starting stims on the 18th. Nervous but trying to stay grounded this time — last cycle I drove myself crazy with symptom-checking.

The symptom-checking spiral is so real. I had to delete the apps for my second cycle. It genuinely helped. Rooting for you so hard this time 💙

Round 2 here too — just got my transfer date confirmed. The thing that helps me most is focusing only on what I can control in the next 24 hours. Everything else is noise.

Has anyone switched clinics between rounds? Our clinic felt very factory-like last time and I'm wondering if a smaller practice might be worth the switch even if it means traveling.

We switched clinics after our first failed cycle and it made such a difference — not just in protocol but in how cared for we felt as patients. Worth a consult at minimum.

That's really helpful — our clinic is large and sometimes I feel like a number. Going to look into consultations. Thank you 🌿
