Re: Open letter Tuesday!
Dear MIL,
Please stop telling your son that he's a bad son. Please stop berating him and complaining to him! Don't you see all the sacrifices he's made for you? Don't you see that he is still grieving too? Even though he doesn't show it to you, he is hurting inside and every time you call him and complain about how he's not doing enough for you, his heart breaks a little more.
I know you are dealing with a lot too. But I think it's time you start to take care of yourself. It's not that hard to go to the bank! Atm's aren't exactly magic.
Also, you do have another child, why don't you ever talk to her the way you talk to your son? It's rude. It's hurtful. And you are an ungrateful wench.
Sincerely,
Your frustrated daughter in law
Dear Nurse I talked to last week,
I find it frustrating when you called last wek with my 7DPO b/w you seemed totally confused when I said the b/w wasn't done on my CD 21. It also irked me when you said my level was a little over 7, you want it at 10, but a supplement "wouldn't do anything unless I was pregnant and spotting." So how, pray tell, would I go about INCREASING my levels if I don't take something? I hope when I call back today (and ask again) I get a different response!
Sincerely,
A frustrated patient
Dear Medical Professionals,
It sure would be helpeful if you all could get together and decide on one set of "acceptable numbers" for various tests. For numbers of 7DPO b/w I've now seen 5, 10 and 15 as "desired" numbers. Which is it?!?!?!

ME
Dear anyone,
The last two times that DH and I have had sex, I've faked orgasm. With the meds I'm on, nothing is working down there, but the meds are doing wonders for my anxiety, so I'm not willing to go off of them until I'm ready.
I don't want to turn DH off by admitting that I'm not climaxing when we have sex, so to keep things moving along, I've just faked it. He's none the wiser, and if we're ever going to have a baby, then we just need to get the deed done, but I feel like a terrible wife.
I don't like that I have to lie like that, but if I tell him that the sole reason we're having sex right now is just to make babies, he would be offended.
I love having sex with DH, I really do.... under normal circumstances... but with T-TTC taking all the fun out of it, and with meds that cause all kinds of sexual problems... sex is just work now.
I just want to be pregnant already. I just want sperm to meet egg, and make a baby so that DH and I can go back to a normal sex schedule that meets our style, and that is sex that we're having because we want to do it, not because we have to.
I'm so tired of infertility.
Dear Cancer,
YOU SUCK.
That is all.
Love, Me
Dear extra 5 pounds,
I hate you. Having a muffin top with my bikini does not make me special and your part in the situation is not appreciated. Go away.
Sincerely yours,
Me
PS ? You made me cry the other day. Rude.
I love your siggy pic! The Chef is awesome!
OMG Fay, are our DHs long lost twins? I could've written that word for word ((big hugs)) I know how hard that is to deal with...sigh.
Little Brother,
You turn 21 in October and I appreciate that you value my opinion but at times, I need you to use your common sense.
It is NOT acceptable for you to call me and ask me if you can marry some girl at your college so she gets a green card and she gives you $10,000 for your hassle. The fact that you even considered this, scares the sh*t out of me. Marriage is not to be taken lightly or used in exchange for cash. Yes, we would all love to have $10,000 but really?! Marriage? We all know this isn't a good idea which is why you called me and not Mom.
I would appreciate it if you never ever call with me such nonsense, but after another failed IUI cycle and CD1, your timing was absolutely awful.
I still love you,
Your older sister

Dear MIL and FIL,
It's not okay to show up unannounced. It's definitely not okay to call us when you knock on our door and find we're not home to ask us where we are and when we'll be home. Not your business. Also, you heard me talking to our friends at our BBQ last week about how I hadn't had down time with your son in about a month, so the fact that you crashed our Saturday night feels doubly inconsiderate.
When you invite people over for lunch at noon, people (namely me) expect to be fed within a reasonable time, say by 1pm. Not 2pm, not 3pm. It's just not nice, because I ate only a small breakfast in anticipation of this big lunch you were yammering on about, only to discover it qualified more as an early dinner. I can only sit around in your smoke-filled house starving for so long before I get irritable. From now on, I'll be serving the meals at our house on our timeline. You've lost hosting privileges.
Your DIL,
Brooke

Dear Fertile Myrtle Friend,
Congratulations that you convinced your husband to finally have kids with you. Congrats that your supposed infertility cleared itself up as soon as your husband got home from deployment. Please however do not try to sympathize with me as I will probably bite your head off. I don't care that you have morning sickness. I don't care that you are finally half way through this pregnancy. It is not bed rest if its for half a day and by bed rest you mean chilling on the couch. I am not sorry your husband is a d-bag you married him so get over it. Sometime I feel bad that I am not happy for you and then I remember why I don't like you and I don't feel so bad. So please shut up as no one really care how much you hate being pregnant. Maybe you shouldn't have more kids I know all your friends would appreciate it.
Always, Cristina
Dear Life Abroad,
I really love you. It's nice that you help me to experience new things and see life from a new angle, but I am tired of feeling left out of everything. I'm tired of having to deal with things in another language and a medical system that is foreign.
It would be really great if we could somehow meet in the middle and if you could help your residents have a little more tact and kindness. It really doesn't hurt to smile. After all, you're surrounded by great beer & chocolate.
Yours,
Mitzi
Dear AF,
Where the f- are you? I know I'm on a treatment break but really? I was hoping you would show up eventually so I don't have to take meds for you to arrive. Especially since I've had PMS off and on for months. This is ridiculous! You had no problem showing up on Christmas Eve but I haven't seen you since. How am I ever supposed to get KU if I never start a new cycle? You suck! Ovaries, you suck too!
Gotta run to pick up my provera script,
Emily

My Blog - 3 Dogs, No Baby
Dear Ute,
I thought we were on the same page here. We found a great RE who was able to get you in tip-top shape to carry a baby for me. I thought we were going to be able to start a new chapter. I have not used you in over 3 decades! Pretty sure I am not asking too much. Give me a few babies and you can go back to becoming the center of attention every 26-28 days. Your lining always looks great and the u/s tech is highly impressed by you month after month. Please be accepting of the visitors DH is sending your way during this crucial time. They will not overstay their welcome, just a few days. I don't understand what more you need from me. Unless...
Dear Ovaries,
I appreciate that you are responding to all the meds, truely I did not believe you to ever have been an issue. But now I am wondering if you think it is your turn in the spotlight. My wish from you is that you produce 1-2 MATURE follies this month. Just in case it was the Clomid you did not like, I will now be sticking a needle into my body instead of a pill. This is all for you! You know how much I dislike needles and this time I will be in a hotel all alone without DH to do the honors. Please show a host some love.
Dear Cervix,
If you are the issue, please help me out.
Thank you,
Your Host, Erin

OMG you crack me up. I will need to think about this a while to come up with my own open letter....I hope you all are feeling better!
Dear inlaws,
Your brother/son married me so deal with it. I am here to stay and you need to check things about him through me. It is inconsiderate to leave me out of planning a surprise birthday party for him, but expect me to sit through it with a smile on my face.
GGGGGRRRRR,
Anyoned sister inlaw/daughter inlaw
Dear Friends Neighbor,
I was merely knocking on your door to let you know that you left your keys in the door. I know you are inside the apartment because said keys are in the door. You are going to feel really dumb when you open your door. I was trying to save you precious minutes of panic in the morning. I will not try and be nice the next time I see it happen. I also hope no one lets themself in or steals your car.
Love,
Me

Dear step-mom,
No, I'm not pregnant yet. I expected you to be more empathetic, seeing as you had issues in your reproductive years. Instead, you insist that if I just "relax & trust my body", I'll surely get pregnant. Right.
Also? Watch where you step. I know you are excited for step-SILs baby, but I'm waiting for "This is my first grandbaby!" & I will come unglued. I can handle your sh!t, but when it starts affecting SD, you will hear me roar. She idolizes you, & I will NOT let you hurt her like that.
Oh, & the reason we don't come visit anymore? Because you've turned into a complete twat since marrying my father.
Smoochies!
Me
Dear Coworker,
F you. I told you about our issues with IF in confidence and was very clear that we were only sharing this info with a very small group of people - unfortunately including you. You proceeded to share my intimate medical details with others and when I confronted you you responded with 'oh that, yeah, sorry'. I'm seriously considering adding a large dose of laxatives to your daily afternoon tea - oops!
Dear Luis (DH),
Thank you for always knowing when I need a hug.
