I wish I had known. . The grief I carry from this experience is something that often makes me feel alien. It’s complicated. It’s painful. And it’s raw. . I’m sharing this because I know I can’t be the only one who carries this experience, and it helps to feel less alone when we’re feeling at our worst and need to connect with other people who have experienced something similar. . My IVF clinic just hiked up their prices, and after looking at the global picture of where I’m at in life, my age, my health, and what resources I need to have in order to feel comfortable, personally, with bringing a child into the world...it’s just not going possible. . And it is a painful realization. . . #ivf #ivffail #divorcee #divorceesoftiktok #womenintheirthirties #womenintheir30s #iwishihadknown #patriarchalsociety #patriarchyproblems #patriarchysucks #patriarchyproblem #womensrights #biologicalclock #biologicalclockisticking #childcareproblems #neurodivergentproblems #estrangedfamily #fertilityawareness #infertilityawareness #infertilitystruggles #generationaltrauma #generationaltraumabreaker #generationaltraumahealing
