A year later, I still love it. I can't get pregnant when I want to, which sucks. But that dosen;t mean I want my 12-18 year old students to accidently get pregnant when they dont want! I want everyone to have timed, wanted pregnancies, so I still love my job! Glad you shared this experience!

Yeesh, that is seriously intense... but do you feel you're better than other techs or doctors at being able to give bad news when the ultrasound reveals problems? I don't know, I think if I knew that the person doing it had gone through IF crap themselves, it would make me feel better...
