TTC after 35

I am a dorkus majorcus.

Seriously.
I'm afraid to put my laptop on my lap because it's 7DPO and I'm worried the radiation will prevent my potentially fertilized egg from implanting.
So, despite my crushed C3, C4, and C5 vertebrae, I'm reaching down to my knees to type this on my laptop which is propped on my legs instead of my lap.
I am typing on a legtop.
Yeah. I know. I'm a dork.

Re: I am a dorkus majorcus.
Ha! Not a dork. After my ET and I was on bedrest, I propped a pillow on my lap and put my laptop on top of that to prevent the heat from my laptop from cooking my embies (ridiculous I know).
This whole process makes us a little (or a lot) cuckoo.

I dunno, Ladies-- the heat, yes, now I have something else to worry about!-- but the radiation? Like all of a sudden it's going to do damage where it wasn't going to do so before Ovulation?
I'm a dork.
And I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy. Which is not helping because it makes me cry all. the. time. Which I already do because I'm a hormonal mess who just wants to grow a baby inside of me.

Did I also mention that I'm obsessed with steak and cheese grinders? Yeah. I've had 2 in two days. Not healthy-ish ones that I make myself, but huge greasy ones from a chain sandwich shop with mayo and mustard.
I disgust myself. And yet, I love myself. It's a destructive relationship. LOL

If only your potentially fertilized knew what lengths you are going to keep the implantation successful!
Oh and I am a Grey's fan too.. LOVE that show!
Oh just wait until mid-October when the Patrick Dempsey Challenge occurs in the city-- and at the hospital-- where I work! We are very proud of our McDreamy and his Dempsey Cancer Center. I WILL meet him. Oh yes. And I will not feel guilty about wishing he were my BD partner! *swoon*
Of course, he'll think I'm a big, whorey slob if I can't get over my steak-and-cheese sub craving...

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
This whole thread had me cracking up! I too am a HUGE Grey's Anatomy fan and can totally relate to the blubbering mess I become watching each and every show. And what's up with the cliff-hanger epsidoe from last week. I won't spoil it in case it's still on your DVR.
Yes, we are all a bunch of dorks, but at least we are not alone
Oh no! Now I have something else to worry about. I was worried from the heat of the laptop but did not think about the wifi on my iphone. That is it. Next IVF cycle I am going to wrap myself in foil while I do my bedrest.
Don't forget about cats or other pets sleeping on your abdomen. They do run hotter than humans you know. :-)
I caved in-- with MH's full support-- and got my steak and cheese.
Because it makes me happy more than it makes me unhappy.

At my first IVF transfer I actually asked if it was OK for my toy poodle to sleep on my belly. The nurse was probably trying really hard not to laugh at me.
Think of it this way, you need the protein from the steak and you need the calcium from the cheese.
Don't forget the iron! Gotta have iron to build up my blood!
And I need a McDreamy-McSteamy-Dr. Hunt sandwich. You know, for general principle and happy thoughts.

My acupuncturist actually encouraged my little Yorkie sleeping on my tummy.
Too hot being wrapped in foil. Will have to come up with some sort of foil tent.
Omg hysterical!
