Oops now I see @Mrs. Pajamas: 's comments! Last night I even sat through the first 2 minutes of that One Last Shot movie, I was like, wait, these people on hellobee actually sat through this whole thing?! And maybe these guys donate sperms to someone who wanted to have a child? HAHAHHAA!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859914 Tue, 04 Dec 2018 08:37:21 +0000 foodiebee 2859914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: LOL! Mrs. Pajamas pointed it out, but maybe after you'd seen the previous posts. I didn't blink an eye when I read One Last Shot, so it cracks me up that it's such a different movie. :silly: Oops!</p> <p>@yellowbeach: YES the RE in Vegas Baby was super creepy!</p> <p>@Amorini: This is exactly how I survived IVF!! I'd never watched those shows before and suddenly was like, "I need to watch something that's going to make me feel like I have my life together." XD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859897 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 23:25:37 +0000 irene 2859897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. You guys. "One Last Shot" on Netflix is a completely different movie than "One MORE Shot", which IS about infertility! I looked for "One Last Shot" on Netflix, the whole thing was black and white, about two guys who were drunks and were on drugs and lived in their cars and I was trying to see how this is related to infertility. Was it two dudes who wanted to have a surrogate? Neither of them were fit to be a father. I even skimmed forward and can not see anywhere that it was remotely related to baby or infertility issues. Than I saw @yellowbeach: saying "One More Shot" and looked for it, and it was more like it. </p> <p>Gosh! And none of you say anything and kept saying One Last Shot! This is cracking me up. I will watch One MORE Shot later :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859894 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 22:05:47 +0000 yellowbeach 2859894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>🎲 Vegas Baby: I liked how they showed some of the scientific behind the scenes stuff, but man that RE creeped me out.</p> <p>Private Life: was what it was - actors, so less real feeling, but definitely worth the watch. </p> <p>💉 One More Shot: really enjoyed this and related to the couple. I honestly thought they were going to come up empty handed in the end. Won’t say more for risk if a spoiler. </p> <p>Between these three and This Is Us this season, I’m just glad we are becoming part of the cultural conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859865 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 20:06:33 +0000 Amorini 2859865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven’t watched Vegas Baby yet, but I have seen the other two. I saw the Vegas Baby trailer and thought it would be frustrating to watch. Can anyone say more?</p> <p>One More Shot was great. I cried, I related, it was cathartic. Overall, a good flick.</p> <p>Private Life still has me thinking. It was darkly funny, not relatable exactly, but still cathartic because it has made me reflect on the ways that IF is a.)isolating and b.) hard on marriages. Two plus years after IVF, I am still dealing with the latter. So, final analysis, worth watching when you can deal.</p> <p>As a total aside, when I was going through IVF, I immersed myself entirely in the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Someone else’s drama that had nothing to do with mine!!!! Before and after, I have no mental space for those shows but it was a good escape at that time. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859804 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 14:50:22 +0000 foodiebee 2859804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched all three. One More Shot was our favorite. I agree with Cam that Private Life was not totally uplifting, but definitely real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859788 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 13:47:08 +0000 Petitduck 2859788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pajamas: I’m glad you clarified because I wanted to watch it and was disappointed when I couldn’t find it on Netflix...and was also confused by the description of the other movie. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859787 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 13:16:28 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2859787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbeach: @Sams Mom: Haha it's called "One MORE shot" I just looked it up to add to my watchlist and was super confused for the description of the movie, "One LAST Shot": 2 friends head out to vegas for a last chance to party....</p> <p>Thanks for this list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859626 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 10:02:43 +0000 cam 2859626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched Private Life last week. I thought it did a pretty good job with some of the feelings around fertility treatments and it also had some funny moments, (and I love Kathryn Hahn) but it's not a completely uplifting tale so I'm glad I watched it after we had success and not during I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859610 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 08:25:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: I’ll PM you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859585 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 21:09:36 +0000 Sams Mom 2859585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: awesome! You're the first person I've come across with a means of communication that has done this. I'll only all 1 for now, is there an online community or Facebook group that I could join to learn from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859584 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 21:06:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: we are going to transfer the last embryo we have frozen in March. It is full genetic sibling. We have an open relationship with our donors and it’s really special. If you ever have any questions I’m happy to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859582 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:46:00 +0000 Sams Mom 2859582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: that's why that one was recommended to me. I saw a special on embryo adoption years ago, it always stuck in my head, and now we're looking into it 6-12 months from now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859581 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 20:40:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2859581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is donor embryo conceived, so I love One Last Shot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859579 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 19:53:22 +0000 Sams Mom 2859579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend has recommended One Last Shot, but I haven't found the time to watch it (and actually hear it without toddler noise) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/netflix-infertility-movies-thoughts#post-2859572 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 17:10:40 +0000 yellowbeach 2859572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m curious if anyone has watched any of the three movies I’ve found on Netflix that cover IVF:<br /> 1) Vegas Baby<br /> 2) One Last Shot<br /> 3) Private Life</p> <p>I learned of them from one of my IVF Facebook groups. I think #2 was my favorite. Any other thoughts or votes? </p>
