Guest guest Posted October 23, 2000 Report Share Posted October 23, 2000 When I spoke with my RE last week, he said that there were two options for me: baby aspirin and/or Viagra. Unless he changes that tune when I speak with him next week, I think he'll be giving me the Viagra option. We have not made any decisions yet, but I don't think that we will pursue the Viagra at this time. I respect the women who are trying it and I must admit that the success story in the media is encouraging (that " baby " is just gorgeous). For me, it's more of an-ever deepening ache in my heart from continuing to have empty arms. Without a child in our lives and a strong yearning for one, I cannot justify continuing to pursue this. My body has failed me many times in an eighteen month span and I'm just wanting something positive, something good to result from this horrible episode in my life. To put hope upon hope at this time is just more than I think I can bear. To echo Gwen's thoughts, there's a point for each of us when " enough " finally becomes " enough. " Perhaps in a couple of years, after I'm already a mom (and the miscarriages don't rip away my short-lived title), I'll be willing to pursue it ALL (Viagra, injectibles, plus whatever else they have on the market then). Also echoing Gwen's thoughts (sorry, Gwen, I just can't come up with better words), if I'm meant to have a biological child then I will. If I'm not meant to ever have a biological child, then I better start thinking that the other options are just as good or I'm looking at one unhappy bitter life! I most certainly appreciate your interest and support. I hope my raw feelings on this topic are not discouraging to anyone.
