Look at him

Destined to be about anything this blog may have been about struggling with infertility and how it gets you all wound up, and rightly so. Because some of my favorite blogs are from the distorted minds of we infertiles. Distorted yes. All the visits to the RE and all those abusive, invasive, explorative questions and procedures. It's a real fine mind f*ck for a couple who have been doing their share of it, which is why they go to the RE in the first place--to find out why the f*cking thing's not working.

I wanted to write a diary about that. The five long years of IUI, IVF's and boxes and boxes of overpriced fertility drugs like gonadotropins. Because did you know that gonadotropins are extracted from the urine of post menopausal women? Oh, but wait there's more. Clever biotechnoligists have found ways to genetically engineer hamster cells ovary cells to make more enormous quantities of gonadotropins. Rodent-based cancer cocktails anyone?

But hey, wait. Look at him. Worth it all.




(ed. looking back through old blog posts I have noticed that my older photos like this one have shrunk. I long ago stopped using Shutterfly to host my photos and all of these old ones will obviously have to be redone, sorry! )
