Why am I keeping this stuff?

I think it’s hard to get rid of it. I put all of mine in a tote box. It’s in my basement. I still have stim meds in my fridge.
I also kinda felt like that too and realized that it was because if I were to get rid of the stuff that I accumulated during my IVF journey then I am throwing out everything that came with it - both good and bad, which is not true. So much goodness has come out of it and I had to tell myself that it’s ok to move on and forward, leave the past behind and close that chapter and that I will always carry a piece of it with me forever. Not sure if this is what you are feeling.
Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences. It's nice to know that other people have had similar feelings. I hope that one day I will wake up and be ready to part with it. My boys are here, they made it, we made it! 💙💚
I could have written this myself. Have twins conceived via IVF. I know the struggle. For me when I took a look it was really about remembering the journey and the strength it took and the recognition of how much I wanted children. I ended up making a momento box for each kid that way when they are older and if they want they will know how much their mom really wanted to bring them into the world. Hope this helps!
