  • Yes...me....sheepisly raising her hand...

    My niece arranged to come over to the US with BF and baby in Nov for her 21st birthday. Now they are getting married here too, in Vegas, in December, the day after her 21st. That means that a large portion of my family is coming over. I have 2 spare rooms, so have secured space for my Mum, my sister, her DH and her other 4 kids (she is the one that has 5 kids and the oldest is the one getting married). Niece who is getting married has never asked in all this time if she can stay with me, and that she is 20, with baby I really do not want to spend a lot of time around her at the moment.

    For all I know, she has no where to stay when in LA, but I have not asked and will not ask. I cannot take anymore guests at my house, and she was the one that was first comig over, and clearly does not have any manners or social skills to ask before you plan a trip.

    I hate myself for thinking this, but my niece was the one that told me she was pg just after my last ectopic and just before IVF and had the baby just before my last FET. I am a jealous bitter aunt!

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
    SHOCK BFP 9/28/2012: IT'S A BOY! and everything is normal !!!!!!

    Little A born 38w 2d on 05/23/13 and is a true miracle for this IF Vet!

  • Not so much a confession as a vent... and I have two lol...

    1) Close friend is on her 5th or maybe 6th unmonitored Cl.omid cycle with her gyn.  I've tried talking to her but to no avail.  I'm worried about her and don't want to nag her but... I don't know... ugh...

    2) Conversation with 22 yr old receptionist at work yesterday:

    She asked how long I've been married and other idle chatter.  Loved her for a minute when she thought I was only 25... It was all down hill from there.

    Asked about kids.  Said we didn't have any.  "Oh well I guess you should get on that I mean yeah people have kids in their 30's but like you should probably be trying right?"

    All I could do was laugh.  Once she went away I was full of witty retorts but in the moment I was dumbfounded.  I mean come on!

  • Roxie - completely understandable.  I think it is the right thing to not offer.

    Jlynn - some people are so naive and I do the same thing so often...wishing I rebutted with something snarky, but not quick on the draw when taken aback!

    As for me - I have been avoiding a certain banker on my weekly bank run because the last conversation we had in person was that she thought she was pregnant with her second (on her first month of trying).  There were several things that aggravated me about the conversation and I just can't face her with her happy ever after news.  Granted she doesn't know about our struggles - I just can't face the easy breezy news.

    Countless BFN(s)
    Moving to IVF

    IVF1 (ICSI): Long Lupron

    Lupron Depot: May 2013 to August 2013

    I so hear you! I knit presents as a way of feeling better about completely ignoring my pg friends. 

    However, my confession, I just knit an absolutely adorable sweater and hat for my husbands best friends new baby girl. We hardly ever see them, and this is the cutest thing I have ever ever made. I don't want to give it to them any more. It is too cute and I want to keep it for myself if I ever ever ever get KU. and if I don't, I kind of want to give it to someone I like better! Maybe I will just knit a quick not as nice replacement and keep it anyway. 

    imageimage

    Dx: DH - Azoo, Me - Mild PCOS
    DH - sperm found! Seems to produce only for a few days every 70 days!
    Over 1 million in cryo in 15 vials over 6 samples

    IVF #2 + CGH = 4 genetically normal embies on ice. FET September 26th

  • This is flameful:

    I resent my SIL b/c she went straight to IVF after 1 unsuccessful IUI. The only reason she went straight to IVF is b/c her doctor told her to. Indifferent

    BTW-they have no dx...no DOR, MFI, tube issues, etc. Just b/c of her age.

    Which brings me to my point, I do not think she understands what it is like to go through IF. 

    runs and gets flame retardant suit
