Re: Confessions!!

  • I don't really have anything super-juicy this week. 

    I'm feeling a little out of sorts because all of the major drinking holidays are upon us (Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day) - we've been invited to a couple of parties over the next couple of weekends and I can't drink!  I know I'm just in the pre-stim prep so I could probably have a drink or two, but ever since I read about how alcohol affects egg quality I'm avoiding the stuff like the plague since this will be our one and only shot.  It doesn't help that DH has no plans to cut alcohol out of his life -  he still has an occassional glass of wine with dinner, beer or Jack & Coke while we're watching TV at night - jerk.  I guess the good news is that it will be easier for me to get my buzz on once all of this is over... ;)

    This thread is great. Much needed!

    My confession is a thought, not an action. I'm debating going to a different clinic for our next round of IVF, because my doctors can't seem to get me through a stim cycle without an E2 crash. (sorry to those who have heard me say that 10X now) I was pretty confident there was a problem with the dosage decisions that led to my crash in the last two cycles

    The horrible thought is that I could potentially stay at my clinic and disregard dosage instructions that seemed like a bad idea, and they would never know. Isn't a terrible sign when you start thinking you could make med decisions better than your docs!!!

  • I had a glass of wine the other night. While stimming! But it was sanctioned by my IVF nurse. But no more- hopefully for nine more months. Fingers crossed.

  • My confession is that while sending out e-mails to sales reps today one of them triggered an automatic out of office reply.  Her reason for being out of office?  Maternity leave.  I don't why it hit me so hard, but I immediately rage deleted it (aka clicked the mouse really hard over the delete button...) and finished sending the e-mails in a pissy mood. 

    Her out of office should just say out of the office for an extended period rather than maternity leave. That's her personal business and not so profesional!

  • I haven't talked to my ex in 15 years, but his wife is pregnant so therefore I must stalk them on FB every spare moment I have.

  • I didn't feel like doing nothing this week. I mean I was the laziest wife in town. I sooooo used the IF card to get out of everything. I feel so bad... Well not really. Lol DH has been catering to everything I say.

    In the middle of planning our next cycle I got fired. No clue what were gonna do now. However, I don't really care that I lost my job because I really started to hate that place but now have no clue how to move forward and I am very much sorry to my fiancé for this happening right when we hoped to start a family. ]:

    I've been playing the same card!

    My confession- even though I know I have blood sugar issues, I went totally nutso in the Easter aisle at target and bought 4 bags of easter goodies. I ate almost an entire bag of red starburst jellybeans by myself! Now I'm feeling guilty, like I'm sabotaging myself or something...

  • Hubby asked me if I wanted to watch the latest Hunger Games movie tonight. I kind of had my heart set on doing some reading tonight, but agreed because I never want to watch anything he does and felt bad for ignoring him with my nose in my Kindle all night. 

    Now I'm sitting here with my nose in my laptop, Googling stuff and hanging out on the bump and trying to pretend like I'm paying attention to what's going on in the movie instead.

    But, honestly, it's hard because I have no idea what's going on. I don't even remember the first movie.

  • The baby announcement of a friend of DH's arrived in the mail this week. I don't like this friend, and he and his girlfriend have been together for even less than DH and I have been trying. I thought about throwing it directly in the recycling bin but felt like that would be really horrible. I settled for hiding it under the other letter that came that day. The saddest thing is that I know DH has seen it, too, and is just avoiding opening it. If it is still sitting there unopened on Sunday, I am going to throw it out. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is that they gave their kid a really stupid name.

    I was having a horrendous day earlier this week so of course the invitation to my cousin's baby shower had to show up in the mail when I got home from work. I got so irrationally angry that I ended up crumpling the invite and throwing it in our wood stove! I ended up having to call my mom a couple days later to get the information from her... thankfully we were both able to laugh about it!
