~ Welcome to "The Bench" ~

A place for those of us who have to delay IF treatments, for whatever reason! 

If you've been benched - come on over, have a seat, there's plenty of room 

Last Week's Benchies

3. How do you feel about being benched?

QOTW: Do you have a good luck item/charm that you've taken with you or plan to take with you for treatments?

Hi ladies

Ugh! My back is sooo sore! Some of you may have read my post about getting whiplash after a car accident on Wednesday. The only good thing is my neck isn't as sore as yesterday, but the rest of my back is way more sore and stiff! I hope it goes away asap. 

I do think it has affected my "fertile time" because my CM was showing I was starting to enter it, and it seems like it has reverted backward to non-fertile. My body probably said "no way am I letting an egg out of this ovary when you're getting into car accidents!" I hope my body will figure itself out soon. I don't want a repeat of a couple of year ago where I had a 60 day cycle which confused the hell out of me. 

Still have a ways to go until our appointment with the RE. 

Edit: Didn't answer the QOTW!

QOTW: I brought these baby shoes we bought when I did my IUI's but they obviously didn't work. I told my DH if we do IVF he has to buy me this teddy bear I saw when we first started TTC which I can no longer find in any stores here. I told him to wait, but he decided to buy it now and it's being shipped as we speak

So it appears that AF went on vacation and left me home.  Haven't had a period since 4/12.  Had a lining check U/S and labs this morning and my nurse just called.  Big old right sided cyst and labs are all whacked out.  BCP for me.  FML and F IF.

This has been the week from hell and I plan on drinking the magnum bottle of chardonnay that one of my patient's just dropped off to thank me for helping them get their blood sugars under control allowing her to get KU.

@kushie77 Ouchy! I hope that chardonnay helps take your mind off things if even for a few minutes

Hi ladies! Hugs to anyone that needs them this week.  

@mrswaffles glad to hear that your surgery went well

@alaskadee23  ((hugs)) So sorry about the struggles that you are going through. 

@kushie77 I'd say that is a well deserved bottle of wine. I'll drink right there with ya.

@sweetieshellieh Sorry to hear about the accident, but glad that you are okay. 

Nothing new with me.  Expecting AF any day now since I had a confirmed O almost 2 weeks ago.  I think this is the only time in my life that I have been looking forward to AF.  Then I can finally start to move forward. 

QOTW: I don't really have any lucky charm.  I just try to bring my husband to as many of the important appointments as possible for support.
