Poke, Poke, Poke - Watch the IVF Shoot ‘Em Up
Ever wonder what goes on when one of your friends tells you she is on infertility “treatment” or “medication?” Are you and your partner considering getting some help conceiving? Has someone suggested “IVF” as an option to you? What do those code words mean?
Usually, they mean a lot of shots. Some big, some small. Some in yer thigh. Others in your belly. Nice long ones in your butt….
I don’t mean to scare anyone off. Quite the contrary. I think the more the mystery around assisted reproductive technology (ART) is unshrouded, the easier it will be for the general public to see infertility as a medical condition, as worthy of health care coverage as any other ailment.
Let me introduce you to the IVF Shoot ‘Em Up, an amazing blog filled with instructional videos created by and for ART patients giving themselves injections related to their individual fertility protocols. Who would want to watch these? Well, I have yet to meet a couple who weren’t totally scared sh*tless at the idea of giving or receiving daily shots for several weeks, and quite possibly having to try it several times should the first attempt(s) fail. These videos are affirming, strengthening, inspiring. Each of them say, “If I can do it*, so can you! Don’t be scared!”
*Of course, don’t do anything until you read Shoot ‘Em Ups very important disclaimer which basically says, hey, we’re a blog, not your doctor. Talk to him/her before starting your meds or if you have any questions.
