TTC After a Loss

~*~Nightly Confessions~*~

Come on ladies! It's that time of day when you gotta confess to all your naughty ways! Stick out tongue

 

 

 

My confession isn't naughty but sad. I tested today (at 12dpo) and it was a BFN, of course. I then spent the next 6 hours periodically digging that same dang test out of the disgusting trash to see if a second line had magically appeared.

Re: ~*~Nightly Confessions~*~

  • My confession is that I wish I had something fun to confess.  I am too busy being bitter, scared and even more sad than usual today.  All everyone talks about at work is their children or the next big home improvement they are doing...sorry, but I have no children and my savings might be spent on fertility treatments...but please..tell me about your new kitchen...I can cry to myself when you walk away.
    3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
    IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
    Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

  • My confession... It's been 7.5 weeks since DH and I have DTD.  When I was pg, I wasn't really in the mood.  When is started to get in the mood, we found out about the m/c.  Now that my body's feeling normal, I get in the mood, but at the wrong time of day, when I'm at work and let my mind wander.  But, I'm so tired by the time I get home and things have been so stressful w/ the m/c and the teenaged DSS and DSD (especially DSD) that it just hasn't been right.  Fingers crossed for this weekend!  lol.  Good thing we're not officially TTC.  lol
    BFP #1 9-15-11; EDD 5-28-12. US 6w2d, growth

    BFP #2 12-6-11 and 12-7-11; EDD 8-17-12. US 6w6d measuring 5w6d. Misoprostol Assisted m/c 1-16-12 at 9w3d.

  • I had a sh!tty day at work.  Noticing this, a few of my awesome co-workers (separately) decided to try to brighten my day by getting me random desert-y snack things (brownie, cupcake, another brownie, a chocolate "pizza slice"). 

    On one hand, it was really awesome that they tried so hard to cheer me up.  On the other hand, these 4 separate random acts of kindness brought me to the conclusion that my love of food has become a little too obvious.  Pondering this thought (and the fact that my pants were a little too snug today)... I proceeded to eat the yummy desert-y delights... all of them.  By myself.

  • I have to go to a baby shower at work tomorrow. Furthermore, I got roped into bringing food. I am trying to figure out a way to fake a horrible stomach virus right around noon tomorrow so I don't have to go.  I'm really dreading this.
    "Even miracles take a little time" Our little pumpkin is here!! Dominick William arrived 2 weeks early on September 30, 2012! 8 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches. For you I've waited all these years.
  • I'm already preparing myself that tomorrow's appt with a new OB will be a bust. As much as I would love to believe that we're finally going to get our chance to TTCAL, it feels like it will never become a reality and we will never be parents. I've pretty much decided that if this doc doesn't work out, I'm done.

  • I ordered a bunch of crap from WetSeal.com that I don't need. Everything on the site that ends in 99 cents is "clearance", and they have a special going now that you can get any 5 clearance items for $20 total (with free shipping). Slickdeals also had a 10% off coupon code. I figured out that it wasn't just in the clearance section of the site, but pretty much anywhere on the site for items that ended in 99 cents.

    I need more clothes like I need a hole in the head, but I couldn't resist. I have to stick to my rule though of purging out 1 old item for every 1 new item that comes in the house. I need to start a big bag of clothes to donate again.

    I'm totally LMAO at this! I realized I had this same issue when my DH started bringing me home cookies and small bags of chips to cheer me up instead of flowers Huh?.

    I feel ya.  I'm sitting here nursing two pieces of cake at work consoling myself in the aftermath of the work baby shower.  (((Hugs)))

    I got roped into bringing food too.  It was noticed that I hadn't signed up to bring anything and then two people called off so I brought their drinks/cups/ice.  I'm really sorry you are going to experience all of that, I hope it's over quickly.  Can you maybe duck out early and say you have a lot of work on your plate??

    Much love to you honey.  People just don't seem to know when to stop being bragalicious.

    I'm sorry you're not feeling very positive about it.  I'll be looking for an update and sending you lots of warm fuzzy thoughts that all is well and you have a good appointment.  (((Hugs)))

  • My confession is that I went to Target today to look for a long black cardigan to wear over some longer t's with leggings.  I walked out with a black one, a black and gray one, and a taupe one.  The kicker??  They are all maternity.  I've convinced myself that the two with black will work now and when I'm KU, and the taupe one was super cheap so I couldn't pass it up.  They were on clearance, one much more off than the other two.  But I rationalized that the one black cardigan I was going to get cost as much as two of the others put together and I could get more use out of them.  SMH.

  • My confession is that I went to get my hair done today....and spent wayyy more then I have ever dreamed of spending. The stylist kept asking if I wanted to add on "xyz treatment" and I just seemed to keep saying yes....maybe it was the fumes in the salon...

    or the fact that I realized that today was the 2 week mark from our m/c.

    Oh well, at least my hair looks cute!!

  • I am really, really depressed.. I am going to the psychiatrist tomorrow and I am afraid to say how depressed I am for fear she will put me on even more medication... I will tell her, but I really don't want to... I am so frustrated and just have had enough.

  • I tested this morning at 8/9 DPO even though I knew it would be negative. I have my RE appt next week and keep thinking "Wouldn't it be great if I were pregnant before then?" I promised myself today I won't test again until this weekend, but we'll see how I do.

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • Warning - DD mentioned

     

    I told my friends and coworkers that we weren't planning on having any other children.... even though we are.... I just didn't think it was any of their business. Well, my co-worker came over for dinner tonight and excitedly told me she was pregnant.... with twins.... I excused myself to be alone in the garage for a little bit and she came to find me. When she saw my DD's old stroller, she asked if she could borrow it since she was having twins and would need a lot of stuff. I lied and told her I had promised it to a neighborhood mom already.

    ((huge hugs)) I'm so sorry hon. Thinking of you and hoping it gets better for you.

     

    Definitely hugs to MrsErinH .

     

    Sometimes we need more medication to help us focus on getting better.... I was really depressed a few years ago and didn't want to go on antidepressants, but I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't started anti-depressants and met regularly with my counselor.  Hugs!
