49: IVF Emotions
Saison 1 · Épisode 49
mercredi 11 septembre 2024 • Durée 10:18
I’ve finally had an emotional breakdown about my IVF journey. GRATEFUL for the mental health work I’ve done along the way to keep me afloat.
Progesterone in oil shots start soon and I’m hoping that I’m nearing the end of my journey!

I'm becoming a single mother by choice using a known donor; I'm so stoked to be having a baby with my gay best friend. After a few tries with the turkey baster in 2023, I turned to IVF in Spring of 2024.
