How I decided to stop doing fertility treatments
As I walked through my house, I began collecting things: a basal thermometer, bottles of folic acid tablets, ovulation predictors, pregnancy tests, leftover fertility drugs and, last but not least, the fertility doll I bought in New Orleans on my 30th birthday. With my husband at my side, we bid farewell to our fertility journey, walked out to the garage and tossed the bag filled with fertility products into the garbage bin. My initial vision for this moment was to light a match and watch as the flames engulfed all traces of trying to conceive over the past four years. Unfortunately, we live in Toronto (and in close proximity to our neighbours), so merely tossing these items into the garbage had to suffice.
When the items hit the bottom of the bin with a thud, we felt an immediate rush of anger and relief?anger because we had accepted the dreaded ?unexplained infertility,? which really means that no one knows why we couldn?t conceive, and relief because my husband and I could now walk to our favourite restaurant for some delicious food and, let?s face it, lots of wine without worrying about ?What if"?
