Bump confessions

MelissaMisoMelissaMiso member
in TTC after 35
I may add more later, but here's three to start:

I keep putting off my mammogram because I don't want to take a break from TTC and I never remember to schedule after AF arrives and before the TTW.
I secretly relish in the fact that a coworker/friend totally flirts with me at work. Harmless fun that makes me feel good. (P.S. It never crosses the line to inappropriate and if my husband flirts the same way I wouldn't care bc I trust him fully.)
I am totally procrastinating on the Bump instead of finishing getting ready for work.

Your turn...and GO!

    • I'm way overdue for a mammogram, and like you keep putting it off.
    • I'm addicted to Zulily, I look forward to their email every day.  Have only bought stuff for me or for gifts at least.
    • I lurk on TB & TK all day at work, don't tell my boss - he's my fiance :)
    • I miss working in my old career industry: the connections, the challenges, the excitement (& the money).

    I miss having a challenging, well-paid job, and sometimes struggle with resentment that we moved to a new city for DH's career. But I also know I haven't worked especially hard at finding a better position, so it's mostly my fault.

    I skipped going to the gym on Sunday because I was hungover.

    My husband and I have been getting Game of Thrones on Netflix, and I want to slap him silly every time he asks me what's happening or who everybody is. If he'd actually watch the show, instead of fiddling with his iPad the whole time, he'd know what was happening. Besides, it's not that complicated - almost everyone is horrible, and people die horribly. The end.


    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    I haven't had a mammogram since my baseline 6 years ago... damn!  Thanks for the reminder ladies.

    I too spend way too much time during work hours here... oh well!

    My best friend went off birth control. I don't want her to get KU until after I do. This does make me a bit selfish.

    I think my boss is a bully and only looks out for himself, yet I am nice to his face (one could argue that this is a survival tactic, but I would really like to tell him what I really think).

    I miss DH having a well paying job. He is happier now that he is doing what he likes, but we have very little disposable income and I wonder how we will live if I ever do get pregnant and carry to term.

    I fantasize about having my own place, too! Sometimes I miss my single girl studio apartment with all the cute decorations, set up exactly how I wanted it.

    - I hide the candy stashes we have when MIL comes because she eats it (and is tiny)!
    - I spend too much time on the compter/ipad when I should be doing other things
    - when I should be sleeping I play cards on my iphone
    - I also like to use trulia, etc. to look for vacation homes which are never going to happen

    There is a new series called Married at First Sight. I feel like I should find it weird and wrong, but I don't. The fact that I don't makes me feel weird and wrong. 

    I love all the confessions about travelling separately. I feel the same way... of course I totally miss DH and would rather have him around. Because we're regularly apart, I never take for granted our time together. But on the other hand, I'm so productive when he's gone and love the flexibility and short break from meal planning :)

    I love when my H takes an evening away to do homework with his study group or hang with his buddy......i love my alone time and am not a particularly clingy person. I do feel guilty about that i love my alone time so much. Once a year he is gone for a whole week......i only miss him a little! lol. Once he is home I am happy he is back :)

    I am terrifies at the possibility of a baby. We already know that though. I want to be a good mom. Im afraid I'm just not capable. 

    I have other friends here locally that do what i do for a living.....im just as good as they are but they are making a better living at it.....I'm jealous and want to know what the secret is!

    Another due date planner here.

    I secretly love when DD wants DH to do everything because it gives me a break.

    I am at a flea market and am about to support media piracy and I don't feel bad about it. Happy Saturday!

    I'm afraid of how a child (or children) will change my relationship with DH, things are so perfect right now.

    I love shopping by myself. Secretly I get annoyed if DH is willing to

    @lgsdesigner I do the baby calculating birth date too!

    This.  So much this.  Hate isn't exactly the right word, but my brain is growing cobwebs.  Thing is, it's really good insurance!

    I don't know how much longer I can keep putting the rest of my life on hold waiting to get knocked up when, well, the most positive possible spin on it is that there's no guarantee it's ever going to happen.  Some revision of plans may be in order... X(

    Debbie Downer, you say? :)
