kyburgTalked to Dr. Whizbang.
We can begin with my next cycle, but he says I need to make sure I've got coverage - and that the success rate is around 2%.
That's Two. Percent.
I'm going to verify coverage, but it looks pretty good to get most of it covered. (It's oral meds and some injectibles...for me. Pr0n for Jim, but that's easy to come by - )
If we don't have coverage, it's going to be very hard to justify trying anything.
On the other hand, somewhere along the line, I attached becoming a parent to Finishing The Growing Up Process - and I think just getting Old without Finishing Being a Kid makes me angrier than anything else.
That, and having menstrual cycles since age 14 for nothing factors in there, too.
I've done everything I was supposed to do. I didn't have kids when I couldn't afford them, or spare the energy to raise them. Now, I don't make the cut?
Oh, the adoption route is still under construction - no worries there, except it's all taking so much longer than I expected. The yes or the no, that is.
I don't want to be the one who dies with the most toys. I don't.

She had cancer at 29, and now has to adopt, and they're giving her grief. Between her breast cancer and her husband being - gasp - forty, they're having trouble. And she's a social worker!)
I wish you coverage and fertility and the best of good luck.

Date: 2005-03-15 03:36 pm (UTC)i've actually been contemplating egg donation... even though I'm not a genius or a beauty, I've got a nice wad of genetic history: no cancer, no alcoholism, no heart disease.
