egg cryo - 40 and freaking out

lvpmlvpm
in TTC after 35

i'm writing a "vent" post because i just picked up my fertility prescription (lupron, gonal, menopur) and i'm literally freaking out.  i can't figure out when i'm going to do these injections without interfering with my "life" for the next 3 weeks.  which leads me to thinking "why am i even freezing my eggs at age 40?  they're probably not even any good!".  which leads me to think "if i even have the thoughts of being inconvenienced by the fertility drugs and the 'why am i freezing at 40' question - then doesn't this mean that i'm not really making having a baby a priority?  does this mean, i don't really want a baby?

oh yeah - i'm single - and still am struggling with wrapping my head around having a career and figuring out having a baby at the same time...

 and, i have a date tonight...

 i'm just so overwhelmed!

    interestingly enough, my sister suggested the same thing about seeing a therapist to talk through these issues.  i'll admit both when she said it and you said it, it hurt.  so, "ouch"!  i realize that my post sounds "crazy", but i did la

    I've never been through cryo and I've never been on the drugs you mentioned but I really have to agree with the PP.  If you are not sure you want to do this, maybe take a cycle or two to figure it out because it is hard on you, your body and your

    lvpm,

    Please know that I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.  I am sure that you are in a very emotional place right now.  I would just hope that you will allow yourself some breathing room to look at your situation and confirm to
