We're going to try a few rounds of Private, then try for a surrogate, and then adopt/foster. We'd ideally like one of ours, but we know there's loads of kids that need a stable home.

Prayed too hard

Maybe it's time for me to find religion.....

Yeah, over in the UK(depending on what country) if you're under 40 you get 2-4(?) rounds on the NHS. But due to the pandemic, and us moving to Scotland from London, my wife turned 40 before we were able to be seen. Our one round had two embryos, one botched implant because the clinic was adamant that they implant unfrozen, despite the hormones from up/down regulation for egg retrieval causing such massive inflammation for my wife that it took an hour and a half to implant(should be less than 10 minutes.) The second embryo failed before it could be implanted. So now we're going for private in Athens. Even with last minute flights, last minute accommodation and transport costs while we're there, it'll be £3000-£4000 cheaper than going private here in Scotland.
And even then we're looking at remortgaging our house to afford it. We're by no means poor. What was it my wife called us....DINKs? Dual Income, No Kids. And we own the house we live in outright thanks to her parents buying at the right time, and her inheriting early enough to avoid any excess taxes. But we have basically no disposable income. In one hand, out the other.

Anyway, I hope for all the best with you two. It's an absolute motherfucker. If you'll pardon my french...

We watched a bit, it was good, but hit to close to home for the Mrs.

I'm 38, wife is 40, absolutely heartbreaking. We've been trying for 5 years, went to the NHS for IVF, but because of the pandemic we "aged out" of multiple rounds. The one go we had didn't result in pregnancy, and if we can't conceive with as many rounds as we can afford private were planning to adopt. Which is pretty difficult in the UK actually.

Yep, just as bad as I remember.

Look.... I'm not entirely convinced JREG has enough of the whatsit.....uhhhh....rizz. But mfr, if all those assholes were doing was rambling incoherently? I'll take that cash. Papa needs to....get double glazing on the windows so we afford to not freeze to death over the winter....

Well, there was that one time

Oh, the time where the cops did fuck all for ages because they had more in common with the "protesters" than the populace they were harassing?

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

I mean....they were doing just fine at systemic racism before they had the help of AI. So no sympathy from me. There's definitely some cops who try to do good within the system, but the system is broken, so inevitably....ACAB.

To be fair, that image is blurry enough that I absolutely believed it was in fact anal
