我正在经历试管婴儿(IVF)的旅程,这是一个充满挑战和情绪波动的过程。我的日常生活节奏因此放慢,专注于IVF,这让我感到一些压力和内疚,但我也很感激自己之前努力工作,让我现在可以专注于此。 我的第一次女子旅行让我放松身心,获得了宝贵的友谊和支持。滑雪这项活动让我怀旧,也让我在精神上保持专注。我尽力保持一些重要的健康习惯,例如每天早上散步和吃健康早餐,这有助于我保持良好的情绪。 独处的时候,我的焦虑情绪会加剧,我容易陷入对IVF结果的过度担忧。我很感激我的伴侣Greg的支持,以及那些经历过IVF的朋友们给予我的理解和帮助。TikTok也成为我分享经历和获得支持的平台。 身边朋友怀孕的消息让我感到复杂和痛苦,既为他们高兴,又感到自己的处境艰难。我努力保持积极的态度,并心怀感激,提醒自己生活中还有许多美好的事物。 为了应对IVF带来的挑战,我采用了多种方法,包括祈祷、感恩练习、规律运动、与朋友家人联系、针灸、红光疗法等。阅读奇幻小说也帮助我转移注意力,缓解焦虑。 我相信上帝赋予我们的痛苦都有其更深层次的意义,而我通过分享自己的经历,帮助其他女性,也找到了自己人生的意义。

Shownotes Transcript

**Ep. 177: **I’m back from an amazing trip to Colorado, and in this solo episode, I’m sharing all the details—my first real girls’ trip, incredible food, nostalgic skiing, and the support I didn’t know I needed. Greg even came out to meet me for Valentine’s Day in Aspen, making the trip even more special. But beyond the fun, this time away gave me space to reflect on everything I’m going through with IVF. I’m opening up about the emotional ups and downs, how I’m staying grounded during the waiting period, and the mindfulness tools that are helping me through it.
