Waiting For Daisy by Peggy Orenstein

I just want to post about this book. I'm almost done with it and its really good. I think its one of the best books about dealing with infertility that I've read. Here is one of my favorite passages:

"Clomid was my gateway drug; the one you take because, Why not -- everyone's doing it. Just five tiny pills. They'll give you a boost, maybe get you where you need to go. It's true, some women can stop there. For others, Clomid becomes infertility's version of Reefer Madness. First you smoke a little grass, then you're selling your body on a street corner for crack. First you pop a little Clomid, suddenly you're taking out a second mortgage for another round of in vitro fertilization (IVF). You've become hope's b***h, willing to destroy your career, your marriage, your self-respect for another taste of its seductive high."

That kind of scares me. My doc just started discussing Clomid last night. It is the next step if the Met doesn't work.
