Show Notes
T/W this week we talk about positive and negative results as well as loss.
This week we discuss testing positive after multiple failed rounds and the constant anxiety that comes with it - also the feeling that a lot of those happy milestone moments are dulled or reduced by previous experiences.
Lauren’s brain has become 100% jellyfish and she can barely remember her own name. We talk about how we know better - but still do 29 pregnancy tests a day, how getting any prescriptions related to high risk pregnancy seem to come with needing to get your own medical degree before anyone gives you anything and how symptoms vary from round to round. We also discuss how it’s easy to feel disconnected from an IVF pregnancy after such a clinical process.
Lauren decides she’s immune to therapy, and in classic “two potatoes with a mic” fashion, we figure out why IVF in Saudi Arabia features a couples room instead of the “sad little room for boys.” Support our Podcast Here
