Just a little bit of a vent (at the baby cafe again)

in TTC after 35
So here I am after my 7 am bloodwork working in the cafe that is filled this time, not with preggers ladies, but with super cute couples and their babies. I don't know what's happening to me. I am typically a positive person and I am usually happy for other people. I just don't feel that way right now.
OK - the super hot dad and his little one just sat down at the table with me while the little baby covets my muffin. I guess my annoyance just subsided a little. Because he was kinda hot, and that little baby boy was just pretty darn cute.
On another note, DH was asking me when he has to be my sperm donor and I just don't know because this cycle things are going too fast. He wants to moderate his drinking and stuff, but doesn't want to feel like he's trapped. He was trying to be nice about it, but it just rubbed me the wrong way a little bit. I really don't like getting bloodwork every morning, running to appointments EVERY day this week, and being exhausted from this all. But I do it, and I don't complain, because this is what I have to do. I don't like just drinking "one glass of wine every now and then and nothing during 2ww" but I just do it and try to be good to everyone in the life without complaint. I don't know...
Sorry for the vent but I just had to. Thanks for being here.

Re: Just a little bit of a vent (at the baby cafe again)
I would be more crabby than you if I had to go for daily bloodwork. DH agreed that he would not smoke any cigars while we are "working on this project". He was the one that brought it up and not me. He had two in one week right and I was livid. I know that this is stressful for the guys too and they may feel like they need a smoke or a drink to help them relax. I stewed silently while I pictured in my mind shoving the cigar up his bum.
Hang in there.

Vent away.......we've all been there.
I'm glad I have this board to vent...otherwise I think I would lose some of my friends..haha. My DH wanted to know the EXACT day I was going to do my IUI. Said it was an inconvience since he stays in WV during the week. HELLO..it's not that far of a drive!!
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.
