I asked on my Instagram Stories what questions people had about the IVF
process and I got a pretty good mix of seriously in depth questions about
medication types, avoiding OHSS and tips for people who will be going
through IVF & a bunch of general questions about the process itself for
people who haven’t been through IVF/don’t need IVF to get pregnant. So I’m
breaking up this post into two parts: Part 1 will be the questions for
those who have never been through IVF/won’t need IVF to get pregnant and
Part 2 will be the more in depth questions as well as how to avoid OHSS +
my tips for your next IVF cycle.

i honestly don’t know where this post is going, all i know is that i need to write and i need to write it here. i don’t know if anyone else needs to read this, or if it’s just me needing to vent to the internet. If you're struggling through motherhood after infertility, this post is for you.
IVF is a tricky treatment. The cost can vary greatly depending on which clinic you go to. There are grants available. Sometimes insurance covers stuff. Clinical studies can lower costs, but you have to qualify for the study. Anyway, the cost varies. Visit goodgriefjournals.com for ideas of How to Pay for IVF.
I get a lot of questions about what our infertility journey was like for
Parker. I’ve never really answered these questions because his side of the
story isn’t mine to tell. I asked him a few weeks ago if he would be
willing to do a little Q&A with my most frequently asked questions about
his experiences and he said yes. These answers are from him and are his
opinions and experiences. They might not be the same as your husband’s, but
I would recommend asking your husband these questions and truly listen to
his answers.
