The things we do for a baby

So today i ordered the rest of my meds to start this cycle and as i was paying for them over the phone with the pharmacy i was thinking to myself, the things we do for a baby. What happens to all the people who deserve to be parents but can't have them? I mean not everyone has insurance or not everyone has infertility insurance. What do they do? Do they just save until they can try or do they just give up? I just couldnt imagine my house and family without the little pitter patter of feet running around. I am a blessed one who has insurance with infertility coverage so the out of pocket expense is not that big of a deal. When the lady on the phone told me the total i about fell out my chair then she said well that is the total but insurance covers 85% of it so you are only responsible for a couple hundred dollars, now i can breath again. I know we are financially stable to have a baby but the more treatments you go through the more that nest egg saved just for baby goes down, so then you have to think to yourself ok when is enough enough? It makes me so mad when people come in to my office or i see people at the store or people i actually know say oh i am PG again but we can barely afford the ones we got now, or oh it was an accident, or oh we werent even trying, or the one that makes me the madest is when the people just dont care about the kids and just let them run around with snotty noses and dirty clothes and over saturated diapers. I mean here we are paying alot of money for no guaranteed and going through alot of things emotionally and here you are not even worrying about your kids or not even that thankful that they are here and yours. My DH always tells me well you know God only gives you what you can handle, but i always want to tell him well i cant handle to much more of this.
