Infertility

My silly FUIF moment of the day

So I'm going to a neighborhood function tonight but after 7 days of stims none of my regular pants fit. Even my fat jeans are a no-go. It's a little early to get away with capris and I'm pretty sure that I'm not 16 and therefore unable to wear leggings with just a shirt over them. I've tried every possible rationalization in my head for wearing workout clothes but none of them seem plausible. "Just came from the gym" makes me seem gross, and "leaving here to go to the gym later" makes me seem bizarre, especially because I'm not exactly looking super fit these days! I'm grateful to have gotten this far in my cycle, don't get me wrong, I'm just having an "in the closet" (literally and figuratively) FUIF moment right now.

Re: My silly FUIF moment of the day

  • I know how you feel.  I had many of those moments in my first and 2nd round.  One thing that worked was to wear a sweater or longer top and then do the hair elastic trick on the jeans button - hook one end around the button and the other through the loop on the other side... then hook back over the button.  Gives you a little extra room in the waistband.

    Good luck!  And I completely agree - FUIF!

  • With the right top, legging are just fine :)  Or you can do what I did last week and get a cheap dress from Target that's nice and loose.  The people at work probably think I'm poor or a slob b/c I've worn the same 4 outfits the last 2 weeks.

  • Back in time for my nightly shots! Thanks for all the suggestions... I ended up going with leggings and ballet flats (no pedicure bc of upcoming retrieval), a cute longer short sleeve top with a sweater over it. I did get the "so when are you having kids" and suggestive glances but was able to divert like a champ. Mission accomplished!

  • My work clothes are so uncomfortable right now, I just ordered bigger pants the other day because I just couldn't take it anymore.  I have not been able to button them for weeks, Meds for the last few months have taken their toll and I feel the weight gain all over but especially in my belly.  As soon as I get home on go the yoga pants and hooded sweatshirts!
