TTC after 35

2 ww blahs. Anyone know a good joke or something?

Just waiting and waiting, here. And busy at work with some certification classes. Looking forward to my massage on Friday. Yadayadayada. I always think of the scene from "Run, Lola, Run" when she's running and saying that she waited and waited ("Ich gewartet und gewarted") for her boyfriend and he doesn't show up because there's trouble.

Anyhow. I'm just trying not to drive myself crazy with phantom symptoms since I don't have crazy sore boobs like I did with my CP. I DO, however, have some veins in my boobs that are (more?) visible, which I did have with my CP. So yeah-- trying not to drive myself crazy interpreting things. 

Anyone have a good story or joke or something?

  • No jokes but I'm waiting right along with you! It's terrible when your excited to go to bed each night because you know you are another day closer to the end! lol

    Question for you since this is my first time ovulating in many years, do your temps need to keep rising or just be above your cover line during the 2WW? mine are staying up but lower than yesterday.

  • My life seems to be pretty humorous lately, so here are a few things from this week...

    I was at the dollar store yesterday getting some cheap HPTs to play with my trigger shot and there was a guy next to me buying condoms.  Not trying to be a snob or anything, but I think there are just some things you need to spend a bit more money. 

    During our IUI on Wednesday, our RE walks into the room announcing enthusiastically "It's a great sperm day today!".  She stopped and said, "I think I have the only job where that would be ok to say to someone."

  • I wish I had a good one for you..All I have in my head is sarcasm because:

    I woke up the morning to my dh pulling the comforter off me because the cat threw up on it.  It startled me awake 20 mins earlier than usual.  Then I laid there wondering if I should take my temp THEN or wait til the alarm went off.  I took it then and was so mad to see how low it was.  Then I laid there worrying about it--is it accurate?  Is it not?

    So I took it again when the alarm went off.   It went from 97.14 to 97.24.  I put the higher one on my chart.  It made me feel slightly better.  Slightly.  Sad

    I wonder what the cashier thought!  :)

  • In light of yesterday being Talk Like a Pirate Day, the only jokes floating around my head are the ones I heard yesterday. I don't know if some are appropriate for the board, but they were funny. Here's one that made me chuckle that I think isn't too bad. 

    So this pirate walks into a bar with a ship's wheel down the front of his pants. The bar tender says, "Hey did you know you have a ship's wheel down the front of your pants?" The pirate replys , "Yea, I know, it's drivin' me nuts!" 

  • Ummm well on Monday I made it through almost the entire day at work before I realized my shirt was on backwards.  Made my friend keep look out while I shimmied it around to the correct way.  Fortunately it was one of those shirts that the looks the same on both sides and I always have to check the tag before putting it on to find out which side is the back.  Guess I skipped that step Monday morning.

    As for the 2WW I just found out yesterday that I was most likely mid way through it so now I'm in full on over-analytical mode.  Last month there was clear O evidence, my chart looked really good, and my bb's felt like they were going to explode for two weeks but BFN.  This month I didn't even know I had ovulated until the BW showed I did, my chart is all over the board, and my bb's are just a little tender so who knows.   Craziness!

     

    Me 39 & suspected PCOS, DH 42. Went off BCP when we got married in 11/11, seriously TTC since 3/12.  Six cycles of clomid = BFNs.  Suspected endometriosis & HSG showed both tubes blocked.  Sept 2013 IVF 5D transfer of two perfect embryos = BFN.  Started acupuncture and taking time off to drop some pounds & get healthier before FET in April 2014.
  • Don't know if I am in the 2ww or not yet... I am on a temping break while I adjust to new meds, but based on CM and O pain I think I already did... but who knows!

    Random story... I was at the drive-thru at Chickfila  about 20 minutes ago and I had already ordered my food.  Dude pulls in front of me before I get to the window to pick up my food which was odd.  He argues with employee and then starts throwing french fries at the window.  He threw a handful then just drove off!  I pulled up next and didn't know what to say.  The clerk acted like nothing happened and I just got my meal and drove off.... not a good story.... just a random story that just happened!

  • the 2ww stinks.  On facebook there is a webpage called infertilit sucks and she has up some funny cartoons but I do not know how to put them on here.  It took me a month to figure out the siggy.  This is my second iui and I am more relaxed.  I had a million symptoms last month with a bfn and this month there are no symptoms so hopefully that is good.  I am just happy to be at work this month because last month I was still on summer vacation and all I did was obsess.  At least with a classroom full of 4 year olds my mind can't obsess!  Oh here is a cute story, yesterday a boy in my class told a girl she was ugly.  So I talked to him and his dad talked to him.  Today he came in telling every girl he saw that they were beautiful.  He kept announcing that this class has the most beautiful girls in the world.  He is turning into a real charmer and disarmer!

  • Thanks ladies for all the good stories! LOL I did like the pirate joke-- although, having been in my 3rd straight day of classes and testing, it took me a second to get it, I will admit!

    $1 store condoms? Yeah, I think I would have said something to the guy-- maybe asked him if he also wanted to pick up some HPTs to go with those "el cheapo condoms." One of these days, I'm sure someone will punch me for my sassy mouth... (but it's okay-- I know martial arts and can block 'em like a champ!)

    And ChickFil-A crazy man? Total fry foul! I'd totally ask the drive-thru attendant if she got battle pay... Or I would have asked the guy to wait until I got my food so at least I could get dinner and a show!  Big Smile 

    Ugh. I have 4 pre-tests to complete before my skills competency test tomorrow. Blech. So over all this extra certification!

    I've been telling this joke for two days, and it hasn't gotten old yet!
