A friend has recommended One Last Shot, but I haven't found the time to watch it (and actually hear it without toddler noise)

@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.

@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?

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.

@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.

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?

One More Shot was great. I cried, I related, it was cathartic. Overall, a good flick.

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.

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.

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.

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

@foodiebee: LOL. 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!!
