Who got a bit crazy during infertility? xD

[Glaedy]

Sometimes I am surprised how years of infertility turned me a bit crazy 🤪 IVF was our last option to try.

I was promising myself with this (fourth) transfer - no weird things, research, etc.

And here I am ordered myself Tarot fertility reading! 🙈 I wish I could say it was my first one... and as weird as it might be they were all correct 😥 I know that if you believe in something you can "make it happen "

Or holistic/herbal approach from all countries. Acupuncture, physio-massages, Chinese & Japanese medicine... all to just get pregnant.

Is there anyone who also tried all weird and unconventional approaches? 😅

I feel like I reached a point where I would try everything… even done the tarot reading (which tells me I should get a BFP this coming month… so now I feel like it’s on my mind 🫣)

Recently stepped away from IVF and specialists, working with my naturopath and acupuncturist only and hoping and praying it happens when it’s ready to happen 🙏🏼

Also trying to keep myself away from research & crazy ideas 😂

I got tarot reading which says that November should be significant conception or birth, and if I would have my FET in March probably my due date would be end of Nov of beginning of Dec 🙈 and I am now lingering if I will start my cycle before consultation= FET April, or after = FET March. I think I regret getting it more than not because it won't leave my mind now...

Yeah it’s so hard to switch off. My husband thinks I’m crazy for evening thinking it has any sort of relevance but when your in the depths of infertility I feel like you can hold onto anything!!

I got this reading like 8 months ago, I remember thinking back then when I seen March 2024 as conception/BFP “no way surely I’ll be pregnant sooner!”… here I am now wondering if it will actually be this month 🫣

Tempted to buy another to see if it says the same thing 😂 this TTC journey is wild and something I never thought would be this way!

Whatever you do, it will be the right decision for you. I hope this little frostie gets you your BFP 🤗

I’ve never even heard of the tarot reading! But did it all, IVF, IUI, naturopathic doctors, fertility coaches, crazy diets that left me hungry and giving up perfumes, chemicals, etc etc. And a year ago I was done with all of it. I didn’t give up wanting children but I was absolutely done with all the things I ‘should’ do and frankly stopped believing in it. Especially after working with the last fertility coach and spending thousands. I also noticed the advice was so generic - no gluten, dairy, avoid toxic chemicals, don’t eat anything fried, don’t use this oil, only organic, use these million supplements and list goes on. I’ve seen way too many women around me get pregnant without major changes to their lifestyle and I decided to start enjoying my life. I practically stopped drinking tea and coffee which I love but then went back to having a cup or two everyday as I did before. I loved perfumes so went back to using. I’ll eat an entire cheese pizza if I want to. However that’s me and I know everyone needs to do what makes them comfortable. I just couldn’t let the process control me anymore. I didn’t like the person I was becoming.

I can completely relate to what you're saying. The thing that put me off is two women from my close group of friends who drink and smoke and eat whatever they want, both got pregnant while I was not even drinking coffee or tea, or eating fried foods!
