In an effort to be as positive as possible, I am making a list of the pros and cons of using IVF. Cons will include everything about the process that scares me, makes me resentful, or uncomfortable. Pros will include any conveniences or happy events that may come out of the experience:
Cons
1. Lots of Shots- some administered by me (scared....OK, terrified)
2. Having baby conceived by mad scientist instead of Charlie and me..(resent and sad)
3. Having lots of strange people/objects in my vagina. (Gross)
4. One of those objects is a giant needle that will be used to pierce my vaginal wall....(gross and horrifying)
5. Potential health risks of hormone injection including stroke and a condition that I don't remember the name of where my abdomen fills with fluid and blow up like a balloon. Requires hospitalization and draining of said abdomen...(afraid..and super gross)
6. Baby making taking place on some doctor's schedule (resent...infuriating actually)
7. Stress on relationship due to all kinds of guilt, resentment, fear, anger feelings induced by this entire process (scared and resentful)
8. Constant fear that if this doesn't work, I am going to have no babies, ever... (making me completely fucking insane)
9. Cost outrageous...(scared and resentful)

Pros
1. Might, possibly have a baby. (ecstatic)

I think I make a compelling case for IVF as an option. They might want to use this list in the commercials.
