Tuesday, because what other title do I have?

[TrickyBob]

How is everyone? Updates? Hugs needed?  (heart) ::hugs::

I finally, for the first time since I started charting (in July), got solid cross hairs!!! Of course, my brain automatically says "we had great timing, I had CM, I have solid cross hairs, this obviously means I will get KTFU this round". Oh brain...

[pooh8402]

Yay for crosshairs!

I just woke up with my typical clomid headache and now I don't want to do anything. I took some tylenol, hoping it goes away soon.

[sassafrass]

I'm back at work today and it sucks.

I'm waiting for CD1. I have all the AF symptoms and NOTHING. Any day now I guess. I've never wanted it to show up as much as I do right now. I want to get started on IVF finally!! Waiting for anything just sucks.

[bk1]

Yay for crosshairs!


I think I'm in a better place today. Yesterday was rough. I'm just ready for things to settle down a bit and not be so crazy.

[redwino]

Yay for crosshairs and good timing!

I'm swamped at work but I'm going to a long lunch with coworkers anyway. I'm done stressing about getting things done. Nobody else seems to care so why should I.

[feistypants]

Aetna approved us to go straight to IVF! This will be one of our last Clomid cycles, if not the last!!

Best. News. Ever!!!!

[murdock]

That's good! TrickyBob And big huge YAYS! feistypants

The director of where I want to intern gave me the go sign, so I'm thrilled to have that. It's internal, so
it will be like one long interview. I'm hoping this will be good for wanting to hire me in 2015.

I keep forgetting to chart when I wake up in the mornings. Usually the cycle after a really long one works like it's supposed to.

I think we're buying a new vehicle this week. Good-bye base model '09 Outback, hello new loaded Crosstrek!

[nmosrob]

Yay for crosshairs! And awesome insurance news feistypants!

Nothing really new here today. My douchy coworker is being extra douchy today, I wish I could tune him out. My foot is bothering me, I'm afraid there's something really wrong with it and might need surgery. I saw a dr 2 weeks ago, he said something about the knuckles being too close together and when I point my toes up (which happens more than you think, every single step I take, blech), the tendon is being split and something with a nerve, I dunno, not good. I got a cortisone shot, it helped for a week. I'm getting another one tomorrow, hopefully it will last longer.

[rachelgreen]

That's exactly what I will believe for you too @trickybob!

Awesome feistypants - GL with your last clomid cycle!

I hope it turns into a job you love murdock!

I've been waiting for my work weeks to slow down but for some reason they aren't. I'm not a fan. I'm hoping that if I completely bust my ass through Thursday, I can have a blow off Friday. FX lol.

[kristind3]

Debbie Downer alert:

It's CD1 and I'm not handling it well. I'm sure it's just because of the timing. We just passed the 3-year TTC mark last week, our anniversary is Saturday, and of course Morher's Day is Sunday.

I called in to work for the first time all school year. I just couldn't do it. Sigh.

[justwaiting]

I stayed home yesterday to sleep because for some reason I could not fall aseep Sunday night. I slept a little yesterday, but I have been up since 4 am and I think I slept funny because my neck, down my arm to my elbow and then all down my pinky tingle and hurt. It feels like a pinched nerve or something. I am testing tomorrow and I am so nervous, I just want this month to work out. March was the anniversary of TTC for 3 years and last month was my 30 birthday and this week is mothers day, I am not handling any of this very well.

[busterpup]

Congrats on your crosshairs!

I have my D&C at 4pm, and I'm not feeling 100% comfortable with it. I logically know it's the best option, but emotionally I keep questioning it. Also, I haven't been able to eat since dinner last night so I'm STARVING. I can't wait to get it over with.

[G22]

((hugs kristind3))

busterpup I hope everything goes smoothly for you. ((hugs))

I'm going for a run soon and then getting together with a friend tonight.

[awick14]

I just got an email from a recruiter we have used in the past. Well, I used to work with another girl there, then she left, and this new girl, H, replaced her. We had a long term temp through this company for about 3 years, then when moved a bit further she quit, and we got a new temp through another company. Anyway, this new recruiter girl, H, just emailed me saying:
Nmosrob,
Wondering if you are doing any staffing that I may help with.
Best Wishes,
H

I can't help but think that this email is just, well, bad. I really liked this agency, would use them again, and if I was looking for another job I would go to them (as I have in the past). I'm somewhat friendly with the owner, have interviewed with her, spoken on the phone with her plenty, and she used to live in the same building as one of my good friends. I was thinking of reaching out to her, but don't know how to word it without being a bitch. Bottom line, even if I did need staffing services, based on this email I would not go to them. I wouldn't want it to push away other customers, too, kwim? Any tips? Or should I just let it go?

[murdock]

(((kristind3))) (((justwaiting))) I hope there's something nice you guys could maybe do to feel a little, and I know it doesn't always work.
feel better
(((busterpup))) Hope it goes well!

nmosrob Ouch! Hope the shot helps. Unfortunately, I'm of no help with the email.

Hugs kristind3 and justwaiting.

It is gorgeous outside today. I am so glad spring is finally here. We're supposed to get into the 90s tomorrow though, and have crazy storms, so I'm not so excited about that.

Today is teacher appreciation day and I got a bunch of notes and cards from my students. I got teary-eyed reading most of them As crazy as it is sometimes, I have the best job in the world.

I was super lazy this morning and since my office is really casual, I am wearing a T-rex t-shirt, jean capris and flip flops. Yeah, totally forgot we had an interview scheduled for today, no one was dressed super-nice or anything but I was definitely Director of the year today.

I bought myself a gift last night (in the other thread) and the saleswoman asked me if I had children and if this was my Mother's Day gift. I told her no, that it was reward for being childless and therefore having superfluous income. Snarky a bit, I guess. Oh well.

[Monica Geller]

HUGE HUGS: busterpup justwaiting kristind3

nmosrob  I hope you start to feel better! Foot pain sucks.

Despite being a childless, infertile, bitter-bitch: I love my neighborhood. There are no less than a dozen kids playing kickball in the court next to us. They are having the time of their lives. One kid just kicked a ball into a tree and they were discussing whether it should count as a homerun or an out since the tree "caught" it.  It's like watching a live version of The Sandlot.

I had a great day at work. I had small victory with a very challenging student. I felt like I made a difference today. Today was good day.

[hainesherway]

My day started out with a bit of a punch in the gut...one of my best friends (who I haven't heard from since my mom's funeral) texted me this morning to see how I was doing and let me know she's pregnant with her third child. She has 2 boys already and this one is a girl. I congratulated her and let her know I'm happy for her; and that we've been trying since our wedding and are now on our third cycle of fertility meds. She replied back that it took over 2 years to get pg with her third, so she understands and I'm not alone. I can appreciate that...but it's not the same when you don't even have one child yet!

[thoseareradishes]

Big hugs everyone...sounds like we really need them this week.

I am feeling so frustrated with everything right now. There's some family stuff going on, my job is annoying me, and the TTTC stuff has been really bothering me lately, like much more than usual. It looks like we are moving on to IVF if the next IUI doesn't work, and I have mixed feelings about it. I feel like I'm surrounded by pregnancy and babies lately- in real life, on TV, on FB, even in the book I'm reading and on the board this week. I can't escape it, the constant reminders. I don't know why it is bothering me so much lately, I hate it.

[Monica Geller]

I'm sorry thoseareradishes ! You need a hug too. The constant reminders are one of the hardest parts of this, IMO.

[Chrysanthemum]

Hugs to kristind3, busterpup, and justwaiting. I hope that things look better tomorrow.

monica Geller Congrats on the victory with a challenging kid! That's great!

I'm enjoying my Educator Appreciation Chipotle burrito right now. Mmmmm.

[pooh8402]

LOL WTF! we now have a poop and farts board.

[belovedbride07]

My acupuncturist wants me to eat low carb. Blahhh! I'm already trying to finagle my meal plan tomorrow so I can have a piece of chocolate after my shot.

Also, I'm like 500 calories under for today, but she explicitly told me not to have ice cream (can't get my ute cold, plus carbs!), which is how I would normally deal with such a big gap. I just ate some roasted edamame...not the same!

[belovedbride07]

And hugs to everyone who needs them...I'm on my phone and know I'll forget people if I try to list everyone I want to.

busterpup, how are you doing?
