Trouble TTC

Tired of them already. Vent

The mothers day commercials. Saw three Hallmark ones today. I almost forgot that day is coming up. I wish I could just evaporate that day.

I leave for Cabo this Saturday and its my fertile window (ha, who would I be kidding, un-medicated cycle until new RE) so I will just relax poolside with a margarita in hand and maybe I will come home with a little burrito in my belly. And if not, I can definitely say to nay sayers "Yes people, we have gone on a vacation and I drank my face off" No it didn't work! 

Sorry ladies, just one of those days :/ Thanks for listening!

    This made me snicker a little. 

    I am so sorry that you are feeling extra sensitive right now. I completely get it. I have two friends, and a cousin (that I can think of) who are expecting right now, so I feel extra envious about the upcoming holiday. 

    I always love to celebrate my Mom, MIL, and Grandmother-in-law, but now I will face their upbeat facebook posts about their growing beans, and how Mother's Day has a new meaning... yadda yadda. 

    Ugh. 

    Enjoy Mexico though!

  • Thanks ladies I knew you all would understand. I remember this time last year and I had just miscarried about a month before and my feelings were so raw and the day was just heart wrenching for me. I remember thinking to myself, well hopefully this time next year I will be better and it won't hurt so much.

    Fast forward to today and when I saw the commercial I felt absolutely gutted. Its like it all came rushing back. I honestly was not expecting to feel that way.

    I adore my mom, my grandmother and ok my MIL too and will celebrate them of course, but its another day and another reminder that I am not a mom yet. It hurts so bad!

  • Thanks @calindi

    I am very excited for this vacation and feel that I need it in the worst way right now! Haha I like that 'bringing back a souvenir" ;) But I have an appt on the 14th with a new RE, so if not, I have that to look forward to I suppose. And of course I am not telling DH it's my 'window'. Poor guy. I just want him to think I'm whooping it up and letting loose on vaycay lol.

    Grr the I told you so people! I think I'll do the same. Or say it happened the month after ;) I know its a far stretch but hey, stranger things have happened ha!

  • Can't blame ya at all for planning on "drinking your face off'! Sometimes you just need a sanity break. Relaxation always helps right? And drinking helps one relax. So by that logic, it is just what the doctor ordered!
  • Enjoy every second of your vacation and have a drink for me poolside please! :)

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
