Drugs, Drugs, and More Drugs

We have decided to try a cycle of IVF (in vitro fertilization), meaning we will have the doctor make our possible baby in a petri dish before it is put inside my uterus. IVF will answer some questions that our previous diagnostics and treatments cannot. That way, if this cycle fails, we will know if going back to IUIs (intrauterine inseminations) is still a good possibility for getting me pregnant, or if IVF is our only solution.

Today I received the drugs that we need for this procedure. It was quite overwhelming when I opened the box and continued to take out medication after medication. Not to mention all the syringes and needles that come with them. Below are the photos so you too may share in the large amount and variety.
