Success after IF

Pharmacy meltdown

So I realized this morning that after my office expenses and setting aside my taxes my net income for the last 3 weeks is $270. That's it. Fast forward to picking up my (not previously frozen) suprefact with no drug plan this evening which came to $186. And then the pharmacist asks if I am transferring to the local fertility clinic and I say no, that I am going to finish up at my old clinic and she then shares that she is applying to adopt because that's the best fit for her and her husband and how she knows how tough IF can be mentally. And then I burst into tears. I don't have a real point to this post other than to share how emotional I am when I haven't even started back on hormones yet!!!

  • Hugs. IF is not easy and deserves a CIO every now and again.

  • Oh kaf. Big hugs. IF is such a B. and a surprise compassionate person can be an overwhelming feeling sometimes when you are used to holding it all on your shoulders alone. I would have cried too. Treat yourself to something special. You deserve it.

  • Thanks guys. I had some of my fave ice cream and put LO down 30min early to have some extra time to myself. I am feeling a little better now. I start suprefact on Saturday and I wish I didn't have to work on fri night or I'd have my fave wine before heading into the FET!
  • Boooo! Huge hugs. I would cry if I took home $270 for three weeks of work, nevermind the evil IF bs.
