Complaint - the dumb things that are just SO irritating on TOP of IF

As if IVF isn't stressful and painful enough with all of the injections (the skin between my navel and bikini line looks like a checkerboard of bruises) and the blood draws (I have tracks that would rival a heroin addict - with bruises as well), it seems the ENTIRE box of alcohol wipes I bought to do my injections seems to be full of DRY wipes.  Seriously, I have to open about 6 to find one that is wet, and I just bought the box in January (and of course I don't have the receipt anymore) and has an expiration of sometime in 2016.  Why can't just that dumb part of this process be easy?!  I mean, this morning, I almost wanted to cry when I opened #5 and it was dry.  I'll stop tonight and buy a new box... grrr...

Any other dumb molehills that feel like mountains for my fellow IF girls?

    I used alcohol wipes when going through IF for my first kid...  about half way through I just gave up on them because of the same problem.  With all of the technologic advances you'd think they could keep an alcohol prep pad from drying out.

    WTF? That's ridiculous. IDK if you have Kroger where you are but I've had a Kroger brand box for literally years (I have them in the first aid kit, they always send me new ones with my injections so I just use those) and they are still good. Some days everything seems like a giant pain in the ass. Yet another prong broke off my dishwasher after my last BFN and I almost had a meltdown....and now I'm getting a new dishwasher that is not full of rusty broken prongs and does not sound like a jet liner taking off. I feel like this huge stress makes me less able to handle small stresses. Ugh.
