What the IVF?

Hello, fellow journeyers and anyone who's ever muttered, "What... the... IVF?" – Welcome!

Confession time: When my husband and I started our IVF journey, we were as clueless as we were hopeful. Picture this: you're ready for a challenging hike, but you find yourself on an uncharted mountain trail at night without a flashlight. The physical challenges, the emotional rollercoaster, the social nuances—It feels like being trapped in a constantly shifting maze.

In the midst of it all, humor became our secret weapon. Take, for instance, our daily progesterone shots. Not exactly a highlight, right? But we spiced it up. Every day, right on cue, Alexa would blast a befitting tune called "Take it in the Ass" – a not-so-subtle reminder that it was shot time. And we laughed. It transformed a routine, often painful task into a shared joke, a brief escape from the seriousness of it all.

But it hasn't been all laughs. We faced moments that felt too heavy, paths that seemed too dark. That's when gratitude became our torch – for each other, the amazing support around us, and the little wins we encounter.

The goal of this site is to share, to guide, and to lighten the load. Especially because during our IVF escapades, I found that information seemed scarce or scattered as leaves in the wind. I spent countless hours gathering resources, advice, and even products to make life easier during the process. I hope this can be the IVF info jackpot you've been searching for– a one-stop resource for everything IVF.

Here, you'll find raw reflections, simplified science, a sprinkle of humor, and tons of support. Whether you're knee-deep in the IVF process, contemplating it, or just here to understand, know that you're not alone.

Our journey is ongoing, and I don't have all the answers (who does?). But I promise to share the knowledge I gain, the experiences I live, and the emotions I feel – the good, the bad, and the hormone-induced. Let's navigate the intricate world of IVF together – with humor, hope, and a sense of togetherness.

Every journey is unique, but it doesn't have to be a lonely one. Let's create a space for connection, learning, and yes, a few chuckles. Because when life throws you hormones, your doctor will probably prescribe you even more... "What the IVF?"

With love, laughter, and an ass that resembles a pin cushion,
