Saying goodbye to Fertility Friend after almost 3 years.
In two days, I’ll be starting IVF stimulation.
I feel like I should be excited. After all, this might finally be what helps us have the baby we’ve been dreaming of for so long.
But instead, my heart is breaking 💔
Starting IVF means letting go of the hope that we could make this happen naturally. And even though I know IVF gives us a new chance, it hurts so much to say goodbye to that dream.
So here I am, saying goodbye to Fertility Friend, symptom spotting, and my thermometer after almost three years of tracking every little sign, hoping every month would finally be the one.
No more fertile windows. No more obsessing over temperatures. No more convincing myself that this month feels different.
I want to feel hopeful. I really do. But right now, all I feel is grief for the journey I thought we'd have. 💔
