Kelly-Thank you. *hugs*
Rebecca-Congrats! I knew it!  Lisa-Thank you. And you're absolutely right. I know this time last year, he was suffering terribly so it's good to know he's in a better place now. Steph-Yay for the prog working! Lauren-How are you doing? Sarah-I know you know how we feel around here. But don't feel guilty about graduating and becoming a mommy. After all, that is our mission here! Well, AF made her appearance but I have to give it up to her...at least she had the decency to show up sooner than later. Here we go again...

Hi All~
You have NO IDEA how much I appreciate all of you. It means so much to read all of your posts. Dh and I are NOT giving up. We have decided to be as positive as we can be this cycle, and we are going to push the RE to make it to ER. I have nothing to lose. If we only have a few follies, we're pushing to go for it. If it doesnt work, we're still not throwing in the towel yet. We're going to consult with some other REs and get some second opinions about different protocols. SO, this is where we are today. I am glad my mom is coming this weekend and going with me to the dr tomorrow. I am sure the weekend will include a few more breakdowns, but I am ok. I will get pregnant. I am not quitting. Sarah~ You will always be part of this IF family too. Bec~ AWESOME about your quiz!

Guys, I just had my employee review, and my boss said I am the best analyst he's got, and that he's never seen anyone who cared as much about their job as I do! He went on and on about how extraordinary I am.
Too bad it doesn't come with a pay raise.  But it's such a different world than where I was last year, if you guys remember how miserable I was with my old boss. Time to go home, get some wine, and celebrate!

Lauren ~ Sounds full-steam ahead...I like your drive. Makes sense to me...if there's only a few follies, it's still a better shot than these repeat half-way procedures, and the money is going bye-bye anyway in repeating meds, etc.
And I realized that with my weight loss last week, I'm more than 1/3 of the way to my goal! Yay me.  Can't wait for Sunday (weight-in and blood pressure check day) to see if I'm down more.

Emily - that's great news! I remember how much you really didn't like that other hag.
Lauren - I'm glad you're feeling better about all of this. I think getting second opinions is a great idea. I'm still so disappointed in how your doctor/nurse talked to you. Where did these people learn their bedside manners? Snowie - Thanks. It's funny because my mom brought me an envelope full of stuff a couple weeks ago and I just got a chance to look at it tonight. It wass my 'school book'. It had all of my report cards from kindergarten through my junior year of high school. What a trip down memory lane that was. I actually did well in science back then. That and math were my things. English and social studies sucked. Steph - YAY You!!  What you're losing, I am gaining. I have been eating like a cow this week. I feel like crap. Sounds like you're finding some kind of balance with your hormones, too. That's fantastic progress!So, I got an email from my mom today. My dad was on the roof yesterday and something happened with the ladder and he ended up falling. Luckily, they have a ranch style home and not some full two story house! He broke his clavicle and a finger. I called him this morning to check in on him. Of course, he was miserable (which is par for him). So I told him that I just wanted to make sure he was okay. He said..... I'm still living, too damn stupid to die.  He's such a ray of sunshine.I took a 1/2 day today. I have 4 1/2 vacation days to blow before the end of the year. The Fed Ex guy pulls up with this HUGE box. It was my massage table! I was so excited. I opened it and set it up and while I was hugging it (yes, kinda literally) I looked and realized that it had NO breast recesses! I am so bummed out. The upgraded fabric was so worth the $$ and the black is so sharp, but damnit! I paid for breast recesses! I have a call in to the store manager at school to see what we need to do. I'm hoping that she'll tell me to keep the table until she orders me a new one then just have the school keep this one that was ordered wrong. I would hate to have to keep using the other 'loaner' table when this one is so much nicer (even though they're basically the same thing). Once I get my 'real' table, I will take a picture of it to show all of you. Oh and every time the Fed Ex guy comes, he has two bones in his hands for the dogs. He dropped off a box the other day and left the bones on top of it on the porch. He's a nice guy. |

Lauren-Sounds like an excellent plan. I'm with Rebecca, where the heck do these people learn nevermind bedside manners but plain ol' common sense and consideration?!?
Steph-Wow, girl, you're making great progress! Go you! Rebecca-Sorry about the table mix up. Breast recesses...hmmm...you could give ME a massage on that table and I wouldn't know the difference! Em-Congrats on the accolades! Finally, someone who notices!!!

Snowie~ I was thinking about you today. I remember when I joined this site last year around this time that your father was sick. I know that we don't know each other, but I lost my dad to cancer when I was 14. The holidays are always a little bittersweet because I just wish he was still here. I guess I just wanted you to know that there are people all over this board, no just on the IF side that think of you.
And Steph~ I keep seeing your weight loss ticker and I just wanted to say WAY TO GO!!! I really need to lose about 40 pounds.  I've done it before, but it's not easy. Congrats to you on your weight loss! |

Well my happy night didn't end up so happy. Actually, it was awful. Juan's son swallowed a coin yesterday so they had called to tell him. We got on the topic of child rearing, and he was explaining to me that in his ranch, the kids pretty much run wild and even at three years old, the mom doesn't necessarily know where her son is or who he's with. I told him that I was not accustomed to that kind of child rearing...his response...You don't have any kids.
You don't have kids. It echoed in my head, and I had nothing to reply. He tried to rephrase, but it didn't matter, the way he sees it was that I don't have any kids. Not that we don't have a family, but that I don't have any kids. He sleeps with her once and she gets pregnant. We try for two years, and I still don't have any kids. I suck. I'm useless. I don't get thoughts or opinions or plans about children, because I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS. I showed him the huge bruise on my arm from my blood draw, and I told him that I have four reminders in my heart, and one on my arm to remind me that I don't have any kids. I went a little nuts. I threw away everything related to TTC. My BBT, my vitamins, my weekly pregnancy book my SIL gave me before the first m/c, everything. This house is now clear of all indications that anyone is trying to have a baby. He really hurt me. He knows what I've been through. It really set out for me that this child I've been killing myself to conceive is for me, and not for us.

Emily - Wow, I'm not sure what to say to that. I can imagine how excruciating that was/is for you. I hope that Juan realizes how incredibly insensitive and just downright wrong it was for him to say that to you.

Thanks ladies. It really did break my heart. I think I'm throwing in the towel. I'm not getting the support I need from him, and I can't do this on my own. I don't want to go to my RE appt. If my body can't do this on its own, maybe there is a reason. I know that's a crappy thing to say, but I'm tired of feeling broken and dysfunctional.

Emily - I don't think it's a crappy thing to say at all. Feeling broken and dysfunctional is exactly how I felt for a long time. I still believe that there is a reason for everything. I just hope you can figure out what that reason is.
And you're right, you can't do this alone. There are a number of things that I have asked my dh to do/change to help our situation and he hasn't done one of them. That's partly why I have made the decision that I have. (remember how alike our dh's are  ). |

I know Rebecca! Men just don't seem to understand it. Of course I probably overreacted. All that stuff in the second paragraph is just what I got out of those four words, not what he actually said. But you just don't say those words to a woman suffering from recurrent miscarriage. Especially if you are the DH.
It's raining here. Perfect day to stay under the covers and feel sorry for myself.
