I finally realized today why I'm so apprehensive about doing IVF. This is the first infertility treatment we've done. We didn't do clomid, injectables or IUI. Nothing. With the exception of adoption, IVF is (hopefully) the end of the road for couples, but for us it's both the beginning and the end. And that is freaking scary.

It's not that I think we should have done clomid or IUIs. I know that the chances of those working in our case were about the same as it happening on its own, but I haven't eased into this. I think for most people getting to IVF is a longer process--one where you get accustomed to the shots, ultrasounds, blood draws and doctor visits. I'm starting where most couples end and I'm feeling woefully inadequate.   I guess recognizing this helps somewhat because at least I know now what is causing some of my anxiety.

On another note, my mother has been saying for months now that she would come with me to Vegas for the time when DH was not there. I'll be there for you, blah, blah, blah. (This is big for her, as she's visited me all of 3 times in the last 9 years.)  When I gave her the dates I'd be out there she said she wouldn't be able to make it because my  dad will be in Chicago dog sitting for my brother while my brother and SIL are on ANOTHER vacation--they are currently dog sitting for 3 weeks while they are on vacation in Asia. This means that my mom has to stay at home with their own dogs. ARGH!   Are you kidding me? My brother's dogs are more important than this?! WTF?! It's not a big deal to me not to have here there, because, well I'm used to not having her around, but I am really hurt that this isn't more important to them. I mean they could ask my brother to get a dog sitter.
