Shattered Dreams- Infertility

This piece was very emotional for me. The 'dream' reflection seems to be curious or confused about the subject's turmoil... I can hear her asking things like, "Why would you WANT to put your body through this?", "You're young! Enjoy the freedom!", "Just be patient... it'll happen!" or worse, "Why don't you just ADOPT?"

I know most people mean no harm in saying these things, but I hear the same lines over and over and each time it cuts a little deeper than before. I guess it's just difficult for them to understand...

My husband and I have known there was a problem for 6+ years now. I have severe PCOS. We've tried almost 2 years of clomid treatments so far to no avail. Our next step is IVF, but financially this is not yet an option for us, and I'm afraid that if that failed... well... I'm not emotionally prepared for that. Not yet. Adoption is another can of worms I'm not about to go into details for, but I'll tell you that it's NOT as simple as picking up a new puppy from the pound.
