I haven't been in TB in a while, but it looks like we've had some BFP's and progress - hooray! We need some positive momentum on this board!
Me: I feel like nothing has been going right for the past 4-5 months.
November - fell and broke my right leg. I had tickets to my fav comedy show for the night I fell which I paid a lot of $$ for, and we couldn't go. Because I couldn't drive, I was homebound through the holidays, which also included postponing IF stuff.
December - I got the flu over Christmas/NY. DH and I had to cancel a mini-vacation we had planned. Oh, and my boss said I wasn't able to get a promotion that she promised me because of timing with HR, but 'here's all this new work anyways'.
January - Hysteroscopy + IUI
February - BFP! B/w literally every-other-day for 3 weeks due to low and slow rising hcg. Did I mention my RE is 40 minutes away?
March - M/c and D+C. And now its been 10 days that I've been sick with the worst sore throat I've ever had, including 2 trips to the dr where they keep telling me its viral and theres nothing they can do. I'm pretty sure I've been abusing tylenol (only half kidding) and nothing is making this go away. I had to cancel my big Easter party and instead layed on the couch all day.
Did I mention that I've gained 15lbs since November and haven't been able to use my new expensive gym membership ONCE that I got in January? Or that everyone around me is k/u?
Thanks for listening, I guess I needed to vent!

Re: Pity Party for One! (long)
I'm sorry the last couple of months have been so bad. As if infertility isn't enough life always seems to pile other surprises on you. I think a lot of people, myself included, can probably relate and have experienced this at one time or an
