Infertility Veterans

AF is here:<

She showed up yesterday. I am so sad and angry. I feel so lost. DH paid his credit card bill with the 12k IVF charge. My bank account is now empty. It sucks. I don't know how we will be able to try again. Plus they don't even know what's wrong so what would be the point.

I do think we will go see a Urologist. And see what our RE has to say. I may call around and see what apts cost at a few other REs. I just hate to spend $400-$500 to hear the same thing.

I wish this wasn't so hard. It's so unfair. I hate that as soon as I started having T-TTC my family stopped caring about me. They haven't been there for me through 3 IVFs 6 IUIs, or either one of my losses. They think I should just be happy without kids, yet love to throw their kids and grandkids in my face. I should just be fake happy and I am the one ruining their family. Yet not one of them has been there for me. Not one came to see me after I lost either baby or when I could barley move after my ERs. Not one of them has done sh.it to help me. So I am angry. My parents rush to help my other sibblings, buy them things like appliances and couches, pay their rent, and so on. But they just don't care about me. Nice right.

    i'm so sorry

    and your family is what it is cutie.  i think you need to just let go and only see them when necessary, especially if they make you feel like you are in the wrong for wanting support

  • Oh hun, I'm so so sorry.  I wish there was something I could do to take away the frustration.  And I'm even sorrier that you have to deal with your family situation.  It just sucks.  One of the most frustrating parts of this is dealing with the rest of the poeple in the world who have no idea what you're experiencing.  We're always here for you, even if it's only to send you a huge hug and let you know that you're not alone.  Take some time to grieve and be angry, you should be.  This is just NOT FAIR!  Big ((hugs)), be kind to yourself.

    -------------------------
    TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
    1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
    7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
    10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
    11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
    February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
    Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
    April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
    September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
    November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
    February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
    April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
    On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.

    I am so sorry and I have many of the same feelings.  Big hugs!  The sting of AF is the final slap in the face...been there too many times to count.  I am here if you need a shoulder or ear...
