Here’s what I don’t miss about the trying to conceive…

• Waiting for doctors appointments
• Being treated as a “patient”
• Ignorant and discouraging comments by doctors
• Often being asked about my husband’s sperm, even though it says in my chart that I don’t have a husband
• Waiting for results
• Having my blood drawn
• Feeling ancient at 37, when I started this mess
• Getting up at 5:30 in the morning only to arrive at the doctor’s office to discover that I’m in the middle of the pack, and still have a fairly long wait
• Waiting for tests
• Finding it hard to concentrate while on all of those damn meds
• Fighting my insurance company
• Waiting for ovulation   
• Feeling bloated
• Waiting for more results
• Painful procedures
• Feelings like failure
• Weight Gain

 Did I miss anything?

 Okay, obviously, I have a lot of material for the therapist couch, which is good because this morning I’m off to interview a new one. Let’s hope she can help me put together a list of all of the things I like about the adoption track
