Wednesday Vents

 Time is moving too slowly. I'm 11dpo and just want AF to come so I can do my CD3 bw and hopefully start my ivf cycle.

I have zero hope for this cycle so wish it would just get a move on. Also DH and I are going away this weekend and you know that AF is going to show up Saturday morning and cramps will ruin my day.

I want my stupid cold to go away. Its been a week and a half and I'm tired of sniffing and blowing my nose!

DH's appointment with the urologist was yesterday and it went fine, except the doctor had NO IDEA was PCOS is (I went back with him to talk about collecting the uh..specimen...lol...for the SA). He was asking me why I was on metformin and I told him due to PCOS and it was like I was talking to a brick wall. Super thankful this guy isn't MY doctor, goodness!

Also, when we were getting instructions on how to complete the SA, where to take it, blah blah blah, we were about 3 feet away from the receptionist...who is a girl DH volunteers with in the kids wing at church. Holy awkward. Ugh. I know she's professional and won't say anything but still.

We see the RE for the first time tomorrow. My husband has done 2 SAs this month, and counts were 6 and 4 million, m/m were borderline low as well. We knew it would be low, based on testing a couple of years ago, but it was never that low. The nurse called to follow up on the testing and made a big, stinking deal about OMG those are low numbers. No shit lady. That's why we're at the RE's office.

Also, today is my due date from my previous pregnancy, which ended in a missed m/c. I'm not particularly upset about the m/c itself, but I felt SO confident that I'd be pregnant by my original due date. I've always minimized the time, thinking that it would be a non-issue once I'm pregnant. Now that the date is here, and I'm still not pregnant, it does suck a little.

We are going to see my family soon. However both my brothers have ignored my texts about this. This makes me sad : ( oh well at least my parents are excited ( I am clearly the favorite right now).

My boobs are super sore right now, and I want it to stop! I have 0 confidence that there's any chance that the boobache is due to pregnancy, so I want them to stop being sore now.

DD and I both have bad colds and it sucks.  Today is my day off work, but I have to go in tomorrow so I hope I'm feeling better by then.
Last night DH and I saw "Zero Dark Thirty".  It was excellent.

   bronxgirl - I was just thinking about you! When is your beta? Are you going to test at home? Fingers crossed for you!

[bronxgirl]

My beta is next week. They told me not to test at home, so I'm just waiting. I'm so nervous.

[changedname]

Ooh good luck!

[ilovecandy]

Free my middle brother is pissing me off! He won't let us bring me niece here. No biggie so we have plans to go there and do a special day with her and maybe my older nephew. Their other two kids are just to young to do anything with. Well nope we can't even get for a few hours now because it isn't fair the the younger ones if we do something with her and not them. The youngest are 1 and 2 really if we do something with then they won't remember. We said we would do something with her then another day their 4 year old. Nope no go. We are contemplating canceling the whole trip. My parents are pissed because my brother said my parents do to many special things with me niece and not the other kids. So mad.

Crossing fingers Cheesecake and Bronxgirl!!!

Gumby--your 3 pups, so adorable!

I have to finally go back to my RE soon, we took a break after a year with a different RE and anything short of IVF not working. We met with our new RE twice, but then just needed time. I will call this week, I will!!

Good luck, bronxgirl I am rooting for you!

I just hate this time of year. It is cold, dark, and just blah. I wake up every morning, dreading work and I have so little motivation when I am there. Plus, I always feel sick around this time - like I have a continuous sinus infection.

[Deleted]

KaraOrNot I hate this time of year too! At least it's staying light out until 5pm now. Hurry up Spring!
bronxgirl - My fingers and toes are crossed!!

I was just reading a post over on ML about planning TTC to avoid certain birth months and it made me feel so sad. I was just overcome with the loss of not only never getting to plan TTC for births at certain times of the year but also the loss of a real say in TTC and just having to accept a BFP however/whenever it comes to me.

A big ol eff you to infertility!

[trufflefries]

Discogranny, I lurk on ML and saw that thread. I had to exit out of it because I just couldn't deal. I remember back when we first started trying, I didn't want to have a summer baby because I didn't want to be miserable at 9 months pregnant (which I'm pretty sure most pregnant women are anyway regardless of what time of year it is, at least according to my friends who are moms...). Yeah... I would take it now if it meant a baby in the end! Eff you infertility indeed!

trufflefries and discogranny - there was a similar thread on GP yesterday about missing March to avoid a Christmas baby. Well, as I'm crossing my fingers for an IVF in March It made me chuckle. I cannot think of a worst month to have a birthday than December but if I am lucky and get a baby out of this IVF then he/she better never complain to me about their birthday! hahaha....

You know what icedgems, my mom was born Dec 26th and she made it pretty freakin' sweet. She always had her birthday off work and got to spend it however she wanted-usually that meant shopping with me and my sis, going to see a movie, and going out for dinner with a huge group of family because most still had the day off work. We just made a very clear distinction that it was BIRTHDAY and not post-Christmas. No Christmas wrapping paper or leftover cards. If you get a December baby you'll find ways to make it fun.

[discogranny]

DH's grandmother's birthday is Christmas Day. We always bring her a Christmas gift and a birthday gift (ALWAYS in birthday paper, NEVER in Christmas.) We also always get her a birthday cake to add to the mountain of pies, sweets, etc. and sing happy birthday. She too likes it because she always has her birthday off of work and always gets to celebrate with a large number of family members. Personally I think it would be pretty sweet as a kid to wake up Christmas morning to a pile of Christmas gifts and a pile of birthday gifts.

[bronxgirl]

My daughter and most of her friends have December birthdays. So far it's worked out fine.

[changedname]

You guys make good points! Trust me I will be so grateful to have a little Christmas miracle that I couldn't care less if they were born on 25 Dec or otherwise. I think the key is to distinguish the birthday from Christmas!
