    Please introduce me to the woman who is doing IVF without first learning about cycle tracking and timed intercourse.

    The idea that someone undergoing IVF has not yet tried everything else first is extremely bizarre. It’s wildly expensive and extremely hard on your physical and mental health.

    This makes me want to go back on Reddit just to see what r/infertility and r/IVF have to say.

    (I say this as I am currently prepping for my 5th freeze-all IVF cycle to make embryos I can’t even put in my own uterus because a doctor did a thing that left me infertile following a miscarriage years ago. Nobody wants to go through this shit. We do it because it’s the next least-worst thing on the list of things to try.)
