So a post today on the bump, there was a woman that mentioned injects and her RE saying "they are a waste of time and money". There was a lot of back and forth from other posters that reminded me it can all be based on diagnosis- like what's good for one person and their situation might not be for someone else who has a totally different diagnosis. I was thinking "Ok, that makes sense."
Only for her to come back and say basically "No, my RE means for everyone injects are a waste. I'm not trying to stomp on your hope, but I don't want you to waste you money." Admittedly this is paraphrasing what she said, but it's pretty damn close. Thanks (*insert sarcasm*). Heart officially stomped yet again.
We're on a fucking break from treatments. All in order to do injects because we are out of pocket for all treatment. I'm aware that after doing them, there is a large chance we still may not be pregnant but ....how about a little compassion? A little tack? Is that too much to ask for from a board that is supposed to be supportive? I've only felt kicked in the nuts two other times in over 18 months posting on the trouble TTC board. That is one of the reasons I love my girls there - it's supportive. I don't feel like I need to have my IF armor on when I go on. But I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't think so casually, and remember that anyone, anywhere, has the ability to cut me deep down. Sure, they don't mean it that way. But it's like people who don't get IF saying "relax and it will happen". They don't mean to hurt us; but they do.
I don't know the point of this post other than to say, I've had been feeling really good lately about being responsible, and taking a break so we could afford the appropriate treatment step as laid out by my RE. Only to now be feeling .....I don't know how to describe it..... Deflated. I am a deflated tire. I am feeling like someone just came and let all the air out of me.
Don't let those ignorant comments get you down! You are doing what is right for you! I wish I could "pump" you back up with positive energy!!
ReplyDeleteThat person is so stupid. Not everyone will respond to Clomid/Femara (I didn't) but as long as you have the appropriate parts and eggs, women WILL respond to FSH injects. It's just a matter of finding that magic dose. One might only get one follie or might over-respond and get 20 but it WILL happen. That's not (as much of) a guarantee with oral medications.
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of stupid people and doctors giving advice.
Don't feel deflated, I'm thinking positively for you!
