Infertility Stinks! I am Depressed Today

I ordered 2 vials of a donor I thought I wanted, but when I saw his lifetime photo I realized that he really does not look like my husband and I felt no connection. He is handsome, but I had no connection like, yeah, that looks like my husband's eyes or nose or cheeks, etc... I was intrested in 2 other donors, but they had waitlists and I was on both of them. I ordered their Lifetime photos and I instantly felt a connection to one of them... he bore some resemblance to my husband. Finally, the donor I had a connection to opened up, but Fairfax could only sell me one vial. I bought that one vial and sent the form into my fertility clinic detailing how many and the delivery date. At the time, I was told I should order 2 vials, but they only thaw one at a time. Today, my clinic called and asked me if the form is right that I only bought one vial. I said yes. Now, she says that they will not use it because I had to buy 2 vials in case that one does not thaw right. I am devastated. It's bad enough to lose a part of my child's heritage to infertility, but now I have to lose what might be any resemblance to my husband, too? I am tired. Tired of the treatments, tired of the requirements to get pregnant, and tired of feeling like I always lose everything. I waited a while to get married and start of family and sometimes I wonder if it was in vain. I just wish my life was different. I just wish we could have done this the way other couples get to... on our time and terms and with both of our DNA. I hate having other people dictating everything that happens in our life... when we can have a baby, who we can have a baby with, the weight I needed to be to continue treatments, etc. It does not feel right specially to have someone else dictate something so seemingly basic as reproduction. Sorry if this sounds so negative. I really am very sad, right now.
