I think it's stating the obvious to say that infertility can be expensive. Whether the choice is made to move forward with treatments or adoption, the costs can be fairly staggering.
What I didn't expect was the following:
As of late, I've observed that our failure to get knocked up is seemingly having a negative effect on my budgeting abilities. While I should be diligently saving for a whole host of worthier things, it seems that I've been nurturing a rather serious shopping habit over the last couple of months. Above is only a smattering of some of my indulgences. I'm not saying that they aren't lovely, but perhaps I need a new coping mechanism . . .
I think when we first started TTC I subconsciously stopped buying clothes...I mean, why buy clothes if I would not fit into them in a few months anyway? But now I have been indulging myself as well. Love your purchases. And I live in CA but I've never worn Rainbows. Crazy, I know. (I do own Reefs, however, which have lasted me years)
