Thinking this is going on my FB wall for tomorrow. I've posted 5 out of 6 days so far. I've copied others posts mainly but tonight I wrote my own- critiques anyone? any advice before I post it tomorrow? Did I forget anything?
Myth: We?ll at least you get to have FUN ?trying? all the time.
Reality: FUN? Please explain where the fun comes inwhen doc?s and nurses dictate your sex life-when you can and can?t be with yourspouse b/c ovulation and getting pregnant (ha) is a very time sensitive matter-waking up daily to take body temps, pee on a stick, down horse size pills,shoot up with injectable meds (what? u r scared of needles? too bad), go to thegirly doctor, have your goodies violated, ultrasounds, blood drawls (that take3 RN?s to find a vein), ice this, heat that, eat this-not that, exercise now-don?t exercise now, run more tests, surgery here, training class there, Clomid- IUI?s, egg retrievals, embryo transfers,IVF?s, drained bank accounts, another failed ?try?(72 cycles later), heartache, fear, devastation, embarrassment, shame? Please. Tell me when the ?fun?part begins?
