IVF cycle 2

I feel crushed and depressed. I have to cope with the fact I'm infertile. I say it with embarresment and shame.
I'm tired of being tired.
I'm about to go into my 2bd cycle. Not sure if I will take gonorelix this time instead of lupron because I ovulated on lupron. Not sure if it was the birth control or the Lupron. I feel like a guinea pig. I'm not always sad. I have my moments of sadness yet get back up. I want a baby. Im grateful to have another opportunity. I'm frustrated with my drs office lack of communication. I'm frustrated with having so many issues gettng pregnant. I feel alone in this because no one around me is Infertile. I'm embarrassed beyond measure.

I no longer feel shame! What I meant by shame was shame that I needed Ivf. I wanted to be "normal" like everyone else around me. I'm over that now!

And yes I know it's not my fault but it's still embarrassing.

I understand and have felt the frustration, the irritation at the lack of communication, and the sadness.  However, I don't understand why you feel shame or embarrassment.  Do you feel like you brought this on yourself?  If not, well, it is just the hand you were dealt in life.  Why be embarrassed at all, much less beyond measure?  You didn't bring this on yourself, it's not your fault.
