So cruel!

My head, my heart--my life for that matter--currently revolves around growing our family via adoption.

Yet my uterus doesn't seem to get it.

It's not enough that I haven't been able to conceive the old-fashioned way. Or that mass quantities of drugs, needles, and people in lab coats and scrubs haven't been able to help us conceive the new-fashioned way. Or that early-morning-schlep after early-morning-schlep to visit a multitude of doctors, who ultimately can't figure out why our pieces/parts don't seem to get along in a petri dish, hasn't yielded much other than sore butt muscles and a just-for-fun exploratory surgery.

MotherNature SO hasn't received the memo.

Is it wrong to wish for temporary menopause? Because having to suffer Aunt Flo every 27 days is nothing but a cruel reminder of all the things my broken body cannot do.

Oh man do I agree there. I joke about ripping out the plumbing all the time - aside from the whole mess that would be early menopause. I use to get my period 4 times a year - sans any drugs. Now? Every 30 days. What. The. Hell.

Yes! I so am with you!! I mean really...if it isn't going to work right...does it really need to perform its monthly duties?!

I'm so sorry. I get your frustration. I hope your wait ends soon.
