1. My BFF had her baby today. I cried when she posted his picture on FB. Partially out of  happiness for her, partially out of sadness for myself. But the thing that irritated me, was the multiple people commenting on her picture saying " oh your life is going to change and never be the same". No duh! I feel like this is an un-needed comment and just stating the obvious. Just say congrats and be done.

2. I'm tired of buying baby gifts for other people. I want buy stuff for my own baby now!

3. I'm cranky because I'm expecting this IUI to fail. I just want my period to start so this 2 week mind game can be over temporarily. I made cookies last night. They were either going to be "yay we're pregnant cookies" or "stuff my face because it failed cookies". I'm currently stuffing my face with them. 

Anyone else?

My SIL was due on Saturday and while I am incredibly happy for them as this is their first but part of me is having a really hard time with it because they got pregnant the first month trying and I don't think they know any of what DH and I are going thru other than knowing about our m/c. I am really glad that they are too far away to make a trip to see baby, whenever she makes an appearance and I really hate to say that.

DH has been working out of town since the beginning of the year. I have seen him for 8 weeks this year. I made a big deal about him being here for a while this summer and his boss was on board with it, but now is out of town for another 2 1/2 weeks. We are doing an IUI in the middle of this trip so he is going to have to drive 5 hours home when I get a + opt just to give a sample, and drive back. I really wish he had a 9-5 job and didn't have to travel all the f'ing time.

I am insanely jealous of a MMer who is going to start TTC. She is so excited and asking questions about prenatal vitamins, etc. I wish I could have just a glimmer of that excitement again. We are finally going to do something this cycle and I don't even want to get excited about it, because what if it doesn't work?

I went grocery shopping after work. There were 3 pregnant women in the apple aisle w/ me.

We had to put one of our ferrets to sleep today.

((Hugs)) KaraOrNot. I'm so sorry about your ferret. I dread that day for our pets.

Thanks.  It is by far the hardest thing about owning a pet.

(hug) (hug2) Yes, it is.

I'm dealing with health concerns for our 15-year-old cat, and I'm worried. And I feel selfish because we're trying to figure out how we're going to ever be able to be out of town (one long weekend coming up, and two weddings this summer) if he is on a bunch of medications.  We'll have to pay the pet sitter out the nose; one of them has to be given 1-2 hours before and after any food.

And I'm jealous of the same poster, Kara.  I hate feeling jealous like this.

We just heard that one of DH's cousins is pregnant, and it's hard because by age and marriage date, we "should" be next, not them.  Honestly, I'm kind of hoping it is just a rumor.

mofongo - I'm glad you mentioned bleeding on bc. I have been told to take 2.5 packs without breaks. I am nearing the end of the second pack but I have been spotting since I started this pack so nearly 3 weeks. This never happened to me when I was on the pill for real.

I have my baseline on Friday so will ask about it then. I hope this doesn't eff up another IVF attempt.

{{{hugs}}} IF really fucking sucks.

Sorry about your ferret. We had to put our cat down on Friday, so I'm right there with you on the sadness.

I'm so sorry about your ferret, Kara.
I definitely wish I could get back some of the early optimism. DH was always in the "you know this could take a long time, right?" camp, and while I always hate being wrong, this time sucks the most.

I somehow got my hopes up a bit for getting a BFP right before mother's day and envisioned calling to tell her "happy grandmother's day" and imagining how excited she would be. I'm not sure how it happened, since it's been at least 4-5 months since I had those feelings in the 2WW, but somehow I did, and I got my period. I guess I didn't buy into the fantasy THAT much since I wasn't crushed by getting my period or anything. Just the usual "ugh, you again. bite me." sensation. heh

Thanks everyone!

My day was kind of crappy and I wasn't feeling good so I couldn't wait to get home. While parking my car I bahsed the front against the garage wall and did several hundred dollars worth of damage. FML.

Ugh! Thats sucks. I was in a minor fender bender last spring.....like really minor. But it was not cheap to fix. We ended up shelling out $500 before insurance picked up the rest.

And to make matters worse, the accident was my fault, and no matter how many times I replayed the incident over in my head, I couldn't figure out how it happened.

I'm sorry about your ferret KaraOrNot and about your cat womet! I'm dreading that day with our pets.

We had our Infertility 101 class at the RE today, where we learned all about medications, how to give shots, and what the protocols are. I'm a little terrified that they are trusting us to do these meds on our own... I'm afraid we'll screw it up :/ I have taken Clomid multiple times, but that was just a pill, and the nurse always did my Hcg injections for past IUIs. And the cost for all of these meds... ouch!
