Randoms.

[discogranny]

I went to dinner with my younger cousins and they were all talking about "Vine Vids" and "making Vines." I was clueless. I looked it up when I got home and promptly spent 30 minutes yesterday sucked down a rabbit hole of short videos of the most random things.

What are they?

[changedname]

I follow Kelle Hampton on instagram (don't hate) and she mentioned vines the other day and I was all wtf.. I don't think I need another thing as well as pinterest, facebook, here and instagram.

I can't keep up with all these things. I feel like an old fart.

I went in for my baseline clomid check, and I have a cyst and a "mass" in my uterus, whatever that means. No clomid this cycle, and I have to go back to check on the mass in a week. I think we'll still do IUI this cycle, just no medication (if the mysterious mass is gone, that is). I'm not even upset about all of this. It will be nice to have a break from Clomid, and I'm hoping that this mass is what's preventing me from getting pregnant. I'd happily have surgery if it would increase our odds of success, and fix my weird periods (bleed 2-3 days, spot at least 10).

Another vote from someone who doesn't have any idea what that is.

I somehow allowed myself to stop by the dollar store and buy a few pregnancy tests today...just in case for next week. I haven't bought some in over a year. It feels weird.

I can't walk. I went for a run this morning and felt fine. Felt fine all day then went for my usual 2pm walk and my ankle kind of hurt. Got home and took off my shoes and I'm limping. Am on the couch icing it now. This sucks.

Vine = the Twitter of YouTube. Essentially six second videos that you post on a new social media platform called Vine.

I'm watching Flicka, and I cried my eyes for a few minutes. How did I not know it was sad? All animal movies are!! I'm glad my H isn't home. lol

[KaraOrNot]

I stayed home from work today, because I threw out my back and I can not sit comfortably.

I was not aware of the vine stuff until today, but it is too much. I can't keep up with all this crap.

Both of these things make me feel very, very old.

When I had my lap to check for endometriosis everything was clear so I felt like it was a very expensive waste of time. That is until my next period. The doctor removed some small scar tissue that was slightly covering my cervix. My periods went from 7-8 days, with 2 spotty days in the beginning and 1-2 spotty day at the end, to 4-5 days of flow. That made it all worth it. I also feel like my periods were lighter overall.

This is way flameful, but damn could there be any more unplanned pregnancies on ML.

Also - sorry to post and run about Vine -- yes it is like the twitter of youtube, that's a perfect description. It seems to be mostly used by teens and young adults and so the videos tend to be LOL-worthy because these kids think they are SO SO cool.

I am wearing a shirt that is lower cut in the front and it is FREEZING outside, so I have a zipper jacket thing on. It looks like I am not wearing a shirt. Scandalous!

Agreed, Vine seems like the twitter of youtube. I downloaded the app a few months ago to check out something from a toy fair (for my daughter, honest!) and then got rid of the app after. I don't need anymore time sucks!

I haven't gone to the gym at all this week. Unless you count me driving to the gym and sitting in my car in the parking lot & reading a book as "going to the gym".

I really need new clothes, but I have no idea how to dress myself. I hate shopping for myself. No, really. I find picking clothes out for myself overwhelming, to the point where I feel like I'm a kid playing dress up. And then I feel like everything is either too young or too old for me.

Eh, I don't think what you said there is flameful (maybe that's flameful).

This seriously made me LOL. My friend and I used to carpool to the gym, but half the time we ended up at a local restaurant for dessert instead.

Dude this week sucks bad. My abdomin pain is back. Went to the doctor again today. They have no clue what it is. They took more blood, i am scheduled for an ultrasound on tuesday, and a follow up on wednesday. H is pressuring me to just go to the hospital for it.

Also I feel like this whole pregnancy thing will never ever happen for us. and we just found out that two people in H's unit were killed in a place where he is going to. This place is suppose to be safe and they were killed in a stupid accident that could have been prevented but now this has my anxiety at a high. Fuck this week. I think I am gonna make H take me out tonight for a movie.

  I'm at the point where it just baffles me that people have sex and get pregnant. Like, I just can't imagine that that's all you have to do and then two weeks later boom, 2 pink lines. It seems too good to be true.

My ex boss and I were talking about this a few weeks ago (she didn't have IF but was 36 when she started ttc so was worried she would) - she said when she first got a bfp she kept saying to herself "it worked, it worked, having sex worked".. she just couldn't believe it. That made me lol.

Yeh.  Army.  This takes this week's deaths toll for us up to 3.  I think I am gonna start drinking right now.  

[G22]

Sorry ilovecandy. That would send my anxiety way high too. Drinking and movie sound like a good idea to take your mind off everything.

I had good intentions, lol! I got dressed for the gym, drove over and was raring to go...but once I got there, I just didn't feel like it. It was a warmer than normal day, so I put down the windows & read. I briefly thought about driving to the fro yo place that's a half mile from the gym & getting a sweet treat to go with my book, but I stayed put - I might do that tonight

Seriously.  Every time I go to ML, there is another one.  I don't think that is flameful at all!

I've said this same thing to my husband so many times. It is unbelievable that anyone can get pregnant on accident. It's like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. They just have no idea how the universe has to align!
