New Year Pitty party

in TTC after 35
I was really hopeful that this was going to be my month for a BFP. Not only was it not, AF reared her ugly head early. Ugh. It's taking everything in me to not start crying at work. On to yet another month of injectables and IUI. Double ugh. This is my last month of injectables/IUI and if I don't get a BFP out of this round the decision of IVF or adoption will need to be made. Triple ugh. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself but the thought of having to decide if we should do IVF or go straight to adoption is stressing and freaking me out - mostly the financial aspect but also the thought of having to wait up to 2 years for a baby if we go the adoption route. My insurance doesn't cover anything for infertility and we've been seeing an RE for a year now so the process has already been a strain on the finances. Quadruple ugh.
Ok, I'm done whining and ranting - thanks for reading:-)
Who's got a funny story to share? I need a good laugh!

Re: New Year Pitty party
I'm not sure my story is funny, it may be more pathetic then anything but I'm a big, hot, clumsy mess so I have to laugh at myself.
Today is the last day of my vacation. My plan was to lay in bed all day (which I should be have) I have since planted my ass on the couch but this is what has happened to me today..
1. I stepped in a pile of dog shit this morning (after my dog woke me up on my last day off because she had diarrhea)
2. I cut my finger trimming fat off of the roast I'm cooking (which is funny in itself since I don't cook.. Hope it comes out ok and doesn't kill us!)
3. I dropped a huge can of peaches on the newly cleaned kitchen floor... And I mean the restaurant size can you get at Costco or Sams club.
4. I attempted Body Pump and dropped a weight on my toe
5. I cut the back of my ankle shaving. This was a while ago and I'm still bleeding.
6. After my shower I decided to clean the shower. I drenched it with the scrub free bleach bubble stuff and as I was scrubbing the tub, I fell. I was still naked from shower so I had to take another one to get the bleach off my body. I think I skin was burning lol
7. I went to check the crock pot with the roast and burnt my finger.
I know all of her above sounds ridiculously crazy, but this is my life.
@Nickolie93 - I'm trying not to laugh, but I'm laughing! Not because it's funny that all these things happened to you but because it totally sounds like a day I would have
I hope the cut on your finger was not too bad and that the weight didn't break a toe!
@sonpetitlapin - thank you >:D<
The cut isn't too deep but it's a pretty good chunk and my foot feels ok! Luckily I just started body pump and I was using the lighter weights lol
Now what have we all learned......,
Last day of vacation=sit safely on couch and do nothing!!!!!!

All welcome
@dream2be3 I'm so sorry AF showed up. I completely understand your insurance situation. It sucks that finances have to dictate you're decisions in having a child. That's a hard choice, I hope this next cycle is the winner and you don't have to that decision. Big hugs!
@Nikolie93 talk about when it rains it pours.
I don't know if this is funny, but definitely goofy. Yesterday, when grabbing the olive oil cooking spray, I realized I have been spraying it on a non stick pan. It may be time for a new non-stick skillet.

TTCAL Siggy Challenge
Second dog story. She loves playing "laser," where we move a laser pointer around and she chases it (like a cat would). India (the dog) totally understands that we control the dot, but it is still a very fun game that works her into a barking, whining frenzy. She loves it. Anyway, friends of mine were visiting on Christmas and their 14-year-old was playing laser with the dog. She was faking India out, going back and forth over a small area of the carpet before she flicked it to the wall. India was so fixated on the dot that she totally ran right into the wall. It was exactly like that Lays commercial

@meredithcarole I can imagine what it looked like walking with the shoes! I think Gracie would just stand there for a minute and then topple over lol Sorry about the blisters though! The laser thing made me lol. Poor India!
@wvarn, that is so damn adorable!
Wow what a day you had?! Hope the rest of the week is an improvement.
Dream, I do not envy your position. It's a hard one. I wanted to point you to this online resource:
https://creatingafamily.org/
The radio shows are very informative and there is even a counselor who deals specifically with where to go with these difficult fertility decisions. I hope you get your BFP and don't need to go this route, but I have found that immersing myself in information, although scary and overwhelming at first, helps normalize the situation and that helps at making better decisions.
