One Hell of a Pick Me Up December 29, 2004
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been having a tough time lately. I’ve been having a very difficult time getting psyched up for round three. I’m tired of IVF. Quite honestly, I don’t want to have to go through it all again. Who really wants to do IVF anyway? But I know that it will never work if we don’t try again.
I discovered rather quickly that the whole “let’s not speak of IVF for two weeks” thing was not going to work for me. I’m a talker. Having things pop up in my head and not being able to let them out was not a good thing. In an ideal world I would love to not have to think about IVF or talk about IVF at all, but like it or not, this is a significant part of our lives right now. It does no one any good to just pretend like it’s not happening.
So, as I mentioned things have been tough. Really tough. Today, however, right when I needed it desperately, I got an awesome pick me up. I got my IVF calendar in the mail yesterday and had a few questions, so I left a message for my IVF coordinator this morning. When she called me back this afternoon she had the most wonderful news. Someone had just donated two Ovidrel trigger shots, a 450 IU Gonal-F Multidose, and a 1200 IU Gonal-F Multidose. She immediately set them aside for me. Do you know how much money that’s going to save us? A lot. It’s just fantastic news especially considering the fact that I’m going to be using a lot more stims this cycle.
It’s amazing how just when you’re feeling lower than low that something can come along and turn it all around. Sure, I’m still not looking forward to going through this crap again, but it sure is nice to have some good news for a change.

That is fantastic about the meds! A nice spot of good news for you, I am happy to hear it!
That’s wonderful! Yeah, I’m excited sitting here in IVF cycle #1…but I know by cycle #3 I’m going to be completely exhausted and miserable. I’m hoping very hard that this cycle has good news at the end.
Wow, that IS awesome news! I’m very happy for because I do know how much that will save you. May this be a start of much more wonderful news for you two!!!
I’m so happy for you! It sounds like your IVF coordinator really looks out for you & that’s special. It’s so easy to feel like just another number in the clinic.
Wishing you a happy & hopeful new year.
