Trouble TTC

I'm so lame.

This morning "Don't You Worry Child" came on the radio and I started getting teary-eyed...especially when the lyrics say, ""Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you."

Immediately afterwards "Let It Go" came on and I was finished.  All that before I even got to work.

And I'm not even on clomid or anything. 

Anyone else want to be lame with me??

Re: I'm so lame.

  • I've totally had that happen. Then I start to panic.... what if I can't stop crying by the time I get to work? Do my eyes look puffy? Is my mascara running? I can't handle if someone asks what's wrong. Lol. Stupid IF! Hope your day gets better, maybe no Pandora at work today ;-)

  • I totally read into songs all the time.  Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" got to me a few months ago with the lyics "People like us - we've got to stick together.  Keep your head up nothing last forever." 

    And the last week I realized that Bastille's "Pompeii" fits my emotions since my last loss with the lyrics "And the walls come tumbling down in the city that we love. Great cloud roll over the hills bringing darkness from above.  But if you close your eyes, does almost feel like nothings changed at all?"  And then the Chorus "How am I going to be an optimist about this?"  Because with the loss it really does feel like the world is crumbling yet sometimes it feels like it never happened.  And I have to find a way to keep feeling optimistic to get through our next/last IVF cycle in a few months.

  • I do the same thing.  This morning I made Kelly Clarksons song Addicted about IF.  Even though it is about an abusive relationship it made me think of my abusive relationship with IF.  This is how I feel because IF consumes me.  It takes over every single thought and moment I have.  I get so frustrated when I can't think of anything else.  Not to mention these hormones get me all crazy and emotional and bitchy.  Hence the its like i'm not me part.
    "It's like I can't breathe
    It's like I can't see anything
    Nothing but you
    I'm addicted to you
    It's like I can't think
    Without you interrupting me
    In my thoughts
    In my dreams
    You've taken over me
    It's like I'm not me
    It's like I'm not me"
    Ba hahahaha!

  • I have a live version of Adele singing "I can't make you love me" on my car playlist and if I am having a bad day it makes me boo hoo in the car every time.  I don't necessarily equate the lyrics to IF but it is just so moving and she sings it with such passion that it gets me every time.

  • The song that really gets me right now is Katy Perry's Part of Me.  It totally captures the cycle of IF - it beats me up (total defeat after BFN) but then I turn around and tell IF to go eff itself, you're not going to win (start of a new cycle).  I completely choke up every time!  I also feel that way about Roar. I guess I just really think Katy Perry is awesome. I always loved her music but after watching her documentary on Netflix I developed a sense of respect for her as a person too.  Basically I want to be her BFF

  • @calindi you and I are so on the same page!! I have been thinking about Survivor/Destiny's Child lately too, LOL!!! 

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary

    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN

    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis

    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5

    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)

    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

  • @CandaceC1020
    Oceans has been my anthem lately! That and REMAIN by ROYAL TAILOR. I have also been in love with Shane Harper's Hold You Up.

    The lyrics that get me every time from Remain:

    I'm gonna make you stronger
    Hold on just a little bit longer
    Cause I'll be there
    When you feel like you're going under, I'm going to be there for you, yeah

    The sky could fall, the ground could shake, the stars burn out, and seasons change....
    But all my love will remain.

    *chills*

    From Hold you up:

    They tell you it's not worth the price and just let it go
    but you know you can't, you know won't.
    It's not easy finding the words to say
    when you're feeling lost, you'll find your way
    The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold
    and at times you can't find the fire to guide you home
    the demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know
    but they angels, they brought you, and they're gonna hold you up

    Not that IF related, but makes me feel better every time.
    Love 2010 | Marriage 2011 | TTC #1 since 2012

  • It happens to me all the time, I'll be driving along no problem, then something comes on the radio, and I have tears welling up in my eyes, just happened to me out on my lunch break today, and I can't even remember what song it was to trigger me. I really cannot stand you IF!!!
