GTKY--It only takes one

Davie813Davie813 member
in TTC after 35
....If you're 25.  I think the last several months of impeccably timed sex are a good indicator that it's going to take more than one of my creaky old eggs to get it done.  I think I'll throttle the next person who tells me this.  Or maybe roll my eyes at them.  Mentally, anyway.

Just curious--what expressions have you all gotten good and tired of during your time TTC?

    Something an acquaintance once said to me when she eavesdropped on my convo to my BFF about us wanting to try soon- “The happy egg finds the sperm!”

    No…the sperm finds the egg, doofus…

    My co-workers were talking about IVF today saying 6-10 eggs are implanted at one time with IVF. I tried to correct them, they were hell bent on it telling me I didn't know what I'm talking about. It was so frustrating because I could only educate them so much without showing my cards (I haven't told them I'm doing IVF). They had so much misinformation, but I would've given myself away, I had to keep my mouth shut and let the two miss know-it-alls run their mouths.

    It'll happen when the timing is right.

    It has been right for over a year now IMO!

    "Just relax." "Why do you want MORE children?"

    yes, no immaculate conceptions going on at my house... The entire relax thing drives me up a wall!  I can only imagine with meds route, drs visits, etc that sentiment would make me want to hurt someone. 

    I try to keep any and all ttc talk very quiet.  I only talk about it (other than here) with 2 friends.

    "Just relax" is maddening. If that were true, I would have gotten pregnant a dozen times back when I was a stoner. Ugh.

    Also, "At your age, you'll need XYZ." I had someone telling me I should go straight to injectables/IVF/etc. What's worse is when I said, "DH and I have discussed this extensively, and are only willing to go so far in terms of interventions before we pull the plug," and I got something back like, "If you're not willing to do IVF then obviously you don't want to be a mother that badly." 

    Um, what?
    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    A happy egg is sunny side up - so clearly, you should have sex inside a tanning booth.

    But only one side is sunny.  So should you be on your stomach or on your back?  My brain hurts.

    So I guess you don't close the lid/door.  That's good, because I'm claustrophobic.

    I'm making my appointment now.

    LMAO at your comments! :)

    I get the "Don't worry! It'll happen ......." I've only told 1 co-worker and that's it. I don't like people all up in my business.

    TTC #2 since March/April 2014.

    When we were trying the IUIs, temping and charting one of my best friends who's also TTC by not preventing said I'm overthinking it all, just relax. It will happen when your ready. Really? Is that how it works?If she gets PG first I'm never going to hear the end of it.
