IVF treatment isn't NIKE! You can't "just do it!" 👟 They make it sound so simple when they suggest it, "you should just do IVF!"🙃 But if you know, you know. IVF isn’t just a doctor’s appointment where you go for a visit and wind up with a baby. It’s injections. Hormones. Ultrasounds at 6am. Surgical procedures. Thousands (and thousands) of dollars. Side effects that can knock you off your feet. Waiting. Worrying. Hoping. Unsuccessful cycles. Grieving. Trying again. And again... and... not being sure if you can do this again. And even after all that? There’s still no guarantee. If you’ve ever felt the weight of people treating IVF like an "easy fix," this post is for you. You’re not alone- and you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone who doesn't get it. 🧡 💬 Share this if you wish more people understood the real IVF journey. #ivf #ivfjourney #ivfsupport #ivfgotthis #ivftreatment #ivfstory #ivfsurvivor #ivfcycle #ivflife #ivfstrong #ivfsisters #ivfcommunity #ttccommunity #ttcsisters (fb)
