perhaps a clutch would be better.

What no one tells you about IVF is that the daily shots will make you sore after a few weeks of stabbing injections of pure love progesterone.   They also fail to tell you that the bottom of a standard purse hanging off your shoulder also hits the same height on your body as your said puncture sites and bruises.

You will also forget that the purse hits that spot from time to time, but I can assure you it's a quick reminder when you hurry out of your car.  You will also end up carrying your purse in front of you like a cartoon henchmen smuggling gold coins.

Already weary

After giving myself my ganirelix shot this morning I found my positive attitude to be weaning.   This was after I had bloodwork.

It was the moment of thinking "this one hurts... I don't want to keep injecting drugs into my body... my ovaries are sore...I hate having someone else open my classroom...etc..."  I was glad that I was checking out before the receptionist had arrived.  I could feel my smile fading and the injection had given me a reminder to not wear a belt after today. 

I have forgotten that ivf is a marathon not a race.  Infertility is not for the weak.
