TTC thread take 2

Glad all of the travelers made it back safe & sound from Disney! Did you find that 'getting away from it all' at Disney helped to alleviate some stress from this? DH and I are letting it get to us too much and would like to take a vacation together. I'm having a little bit of trouble justifying the cost to go to Disney with the price of fertility treatment, but if it helps with the stress it would be worth it.

We had a trip to Disney last year after almost a year of TTC and I can definitely say it helped. But I was more a ball of emotions on that M/E bus than I ever have been. I cry every time I leave but that time it was that much harder. I had to go home to the painful reality again...

Sorry about all the posts today, ladies. Anyone care if I vent here? I hope not. I usually vent to DH, but he's at a lower place than I am right now and I'm trying to be a rock for him. And if I don't let it out to somebody, I'm gonna start crying when I go back to work today. AF is coming in a couple days (thank you, Provera!), and I'm just feeling confused, sad and depressed. I'm sure it's just AF coming, but I'm having trouble keeping a positive attitude. Some co-workers and friends are pregnant or just had babies, and I just heard another 'expecting' announcement. Happy for them, but it hurt to hear how they thought it would take longer to conceive because of this or that, you know how the story goes... Just having trouble understanding today. Thanks for the vent. :grouphug:

do not apologize. That's what we are here for.

I'm in the same place that you are. Actually I'm worse off. I have no positivity left in me right now after hearing the news last night by TEXT MESSAGE that one of my cousins is pregnant again. Both of them are in school still, their first son was an "oops" and he's 2. I'm 28, DH 29, we both have stable jobs. She told me earlier this year that she was going to "be one of those people that just makes a career out of school", that she is just taking "whatever classes she feels like". We've been trying for 2 years and she just told me that she was wanting to try again back in June....but he wasn't ready yet. But oh lookie there, apparently he was ready now b/c she FORCED him. Because THAT is what she does! The ensuement of texts that followed between my husband and him was not pretty. (We each got a text at the same time--obviously a mass text--that "I'm gonna be a dad again" and my DH proceeded to tell him that they should get their butts out of school first). My aunt is not happy (and she was thrilled about the first one) so that tells you something right there....

I'm sorry guys, I needed to get this out. Having a really rough time of it. I can't figure out why God feels they are so deserving and we're not????
 
Morning Ladies-

Sorry about the follicles MommaSnowWhite. And sorry for those of you who are being bombarded by pregnant people right now :hug:. I know how you feel, I had two showers this weekend, but at least they were for married friends that I am very happy for, and they are both out of school!

I am in a very good place right now... we are adopting!!! (Another four legged friend that is!) And this time it's a girl :) I am thrilled. We just got approved by the rescue group last night and now we are waiting to hear about when we can come and meet the dogs. If children never happen, then we will now have two furry friends to share our life with :love:

Hope things get better for everyone soon!

Congrats on the new furbaby! I have a new furbaby, Fernando and he is just the sweetest!

Well, it looks like AF is on her way. Here's the thing and this is TMI. I have all the symptoms of AF; cramps, bloating, chocolate cravings, headaches, mood swings (I yelled at Kenny this morning because he left a sock on the floor. :rotfl2:). No flow. This is happening more often. I talked to my g-ma and she siad she did the same thing...she stopped within 7 years after that. (She was in her early 40's.) Great. My dx said it sounded like the beginnings of it. Espiecially since my mom, g-ma, and aunt all stopped early.

Oh Girls I'm so sorry! I'm lucky in one respect I guess that all of my friends are done having babies for the most part. ;) Most of my friends' kids are going on 10 years old now! I can't believe it!

This waiting thing has me on a see-saw! One day I am planning a nursery and the next day I'm discussing options with Mike of what we will do if it doesn't work for us. I have to remember on Thursday to call my coordinator to remind her what Meds I have and to ask her when I should bring them in as my Donor is going in next Tuesday for her classes and tests. I am praying for you all.

Back to work. . . More typing after lunch:thumbsup2

From your mouth to God's ears lady! :goodvibes Thank you!

Cher ~ Would you mind posting your blog link again please? I thought I had put it in my favorites but I can't find it.:upsidedow
 
So sorry for everyone's sad news lately! Can someone bring us some good news!? :grouphug:

I went for my baseline ultrasound this morning, tomorrow I take my first pill of Clomid ever. And I have picked up my Novarel and Prometrium for later in the cycle. I take the Clomid until Sunday then go in Weds for another ultrasound. :goodvibes
 
I called my gyno and told her I needed a referral to an RE. I'll be most likely going to see the dx at the Tulsa Fertility Center to get my fibroids taken care of! :cool1: Sooo ready to get this done so we can get onto ttc.

Gabbie

Hey Gabbie!
Do you know which doctor you will be seeing at Tulsa Fertility? I cannot speak highly enough of them and there is a girl I work with who also had great success using the Tulsa Fertility Center.

Every word you said hit home like a bomb. :sad1: It is SO not fair. It's like you're waiting in like for a ride and people keep skipping you. :mad: What makes them so worthy????


AF arrived today, a few days ahead of schedule. I had a lot of hope this month, but as usual, I am disappointed. I don't care what anyone says, seeing AF when you have so much hope in your heart is the equivalent to a miscarriage - every single month!!!
We went to a wedding this weekend and all I could think of was - How long til this couple announces they're pregnant? Hell, they will probably get pregnant on their honeymoon. Ugh!
Just the cherry on the cake for what's turning out to be a terrible week. :sad2:

Yes soooo not fair!! I described it to someone the other day like this...

It's like there are 2 children. One child asks her mother nicely for a piece of candy, every day for a month. The mother just ignores her. The other child goes to the mother one day and yells "I want candy!!! Now!!" and the mother immediately gives the greedy child 2 pieces of candy.
Then the child that politely asks for the candy wonders what it is she did wrong. So she starts to do chores around the house, goes around the neighborhood and makes her own money so she can buy candy. Then goes to her mom and says "Can I please have some candy now?? I can buy my own, I earned money" But the mom still ignores the child...and gives another piece of candy to the other child...who hadn't even begun to ask for a piece.

In this story I am the older child. This how I feel right now...except with the current situation the other child is younger and extremely bratty and has always gotten what she wants...


Okay so....anyway...I understand what you mean about weddings. We went to one Saturday but I didn't have to worry about that feeling this time because they had a baby last year and that's why they got married now.

And :hug: so sorry about AF
 
D&DDisney - so sorry. I so get it.

I had my day 12 ultrasound this morning. No mature folicles, but they think I may have already ovulated. I am so bummed.
