Yes! Watched it during covid times, before I started my IVF journey and was thinking “man I hope it doesn’t come to that for me”. And well, 4 years later, still single, and wanting a baby. I rewatched it last weekend and it definitely hit different this time. LOVED it! I’ve been telling everyone in my IVF circle of trust to watch it to better understand this
I have this one bookmarked to watch after I close the chapter on IVF completely; I’m afraid that if I watch it, I’ll neve opt into another IVF cycle again. 😂
I'm keen to watch it! Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be available in Aus :( However we do have a different 'reality' show here that follows IVF journeys which I've enjoyed.
I've seen it! And I often recommend it on Reddit. I watched it after my 2nd failed IVF ER (I've had 1 more fail since then) and found it really validating. For me it was really hard to figure out what I thought about that and how to put this all into perspective. Like it felt more than just "run of the mill" bad, but was it that bad? Or do I just need to suck it up and solider on? Is going through this the worst thing that has happened to me? Maybe? I just felt like I didn't know how to feel. I lost most of my eyesight when I was 12 and became legally blind. I do think emotionally 3 failed rounds of ER is on par with that for me. In any case, the movie made me feel like it was ok to feel this way. I'm also really glad I asked my family to watch it so they can understand what I am going through. It really captures the ups and downs, the time, the waiting and the weight of this and it's only an hour so it's not a big ask. The only thing I wish they had done was to include a couple who was IF child free. I think that would have been a good perspective to add. But I really love this documentary and think anyone going through IVF or their loved ones and even the medical professionals caring for us should watch it!
