Colors of IVF
The Blues- feeling of sadness, desperation, isolation, and bone-tired weariness from months of disappointment.
The Greens- unbridled jealousy of sisters and cousins and colleagues with kids. Even complete strangers that parade their perfect babies down the street in their fancy strollers just to spite us (or so it seems).
The Purples- the mood swings from the hormones that make your husband want to run for the hills and make you want to eat everything in site.
The Oranges- the countless doctors appointments and tests. Feeling like you are a human pin cushion or a lab rat.
The Reds- pure, fire stroked rage at your insurance company for not covering treatments, and at your body for not delivering on it's promise.
The Yellows- the occasional bursts of hope that nurtures our spirits and keep us optimistic. Those sunny jolts that remind us, with treatment, our dreams of babies are real possibilities
