I figure I'd start.
I had to wake up extra early to drive DH to work ( he needs a new car). I got to work and due to equipment issues, almost all our cases have been rescheduled for tomorrow....that means tomorrow will suck. Oh, and I'm on call starting today through Sunday....

I had to play mommy to DH this morning. He had too much to drink last night and I had to get his breakfast, lunch, coffee, and outfit ready for him because he woke up too late to do it himself. I wanted to sleep in
I have a mandatory meeting next week at work on a day that I'd usually have off and I'm already dreading it. We don't have food for dinner tonight and I don't have time to grocery shop. DH was off yesterday and didn't do anything around the house but make a mess and he was out when I got home.
Man, I'm full of b!tches today. No wonder I'm in a grump mood...

positive OPK this morning and DH is at work for 24 hours.
My house is an absolute disaster, so I will be cleaning all day.
I've started turning down clients who want maternity, baby, family pictues. The money would be nice but I can't do it. Taking the photos is one thing but then I have to sit in front of the computer for hours looking/editing at something I fear I'll never have.
I did hospital photos for a couple a few days ago with their perfectly beautiful baby girl (which everyone deserves) but then when I was finished I sat in the car for 10 minutes crying before I could even drive home.
Thank you IF
I am not looking forward to this week. I have 2 different sets of supervisors since I work at 2 schools and one of them is seriously stressing me out. I feel like every week expectations about my job change and that they have no confidence in my ability to do my job, which is completely the opposite of my other school.
Silver lining is I am only at the difficult school 1 day this week since I took Fi's birthday off.
Me (26) Him (27)
21 cycles TTC
Finished BC and not preventing since June 2010.
Actively trying for baby #1 since July 2011.
SA completed 5/29/2012. No sperm found.
11/12: Dx: Congenital Bilateral Absense of the Vas Deferens.
Genetic Testing needed as this is a mutation of Cystic Fibrosis.
IVF #1 with ICSI planned for 2013.
PAIF/SAIF welcome!
Too much work and not enough time to do it all. Not to mention I have zero motivation to do any of it.
Also, it seems like everyone around me is getting pregnant or TTC. While I am totally thrilled for them it is not helping the my baby fever at all. I am trying to appeal to the practical side of myself and enjoy my time with DH and LO as opposed to obsessing about TTC LO #2.
I am sorry, that must be really hard for you to take photos like that. I know how you feel every time I hold my newborn niece. She is so beautiful and I love her to pieces but I can't help but be sad that I don't have a baby of my own.
I feel ya girl. I hope that someday very soon it will be your turn!

I called one of my girlfriends the other day and first thing she asks "are you pregnant?". I say "no". She then says "oh good I thought you beat me to it".
She just started trying for baby #2 this month and I keep waiting for the phone call saying she got her BFP. I of course would be so happy for her, I'm just upset about what she said to me.
That sounds horrible. Our apartment complex always does sh!t like that to us and reschedules ALLTHETIME. You didn't wear layers?

I feel like I am getting AF big time and it sucks. The raging hormones are beyond right now, I can't even stand myself and want to go home and be in my bed.
I also can not stand people eating like cows. My cubie neighbor is eating string cheese like a piece of gum. I want to rip down cubbie with my bare hands.
Last but no least my back is killing me, feel like my discs slipped again so getting adjusted tonight and I know I am going to be in even more pain til at least tom.
WOW, I needed that I guess. Happy Monday

We are TTA January - August, it was a mutual decision based on our wedding being in December. Our TTC plans were only shared with two friends who are also TTC and have been for a while. So, naturally, this particular friend of ours has no idea, she has two gorgeous little boys under three, and both were conceived within three months of deciding they wanted them. She hands me her youngest last night while watching the super bowl and proceeds to pry into our lives about us wanting a baby, blah blah blah. She pretty much just said "Don't you want one?" and I acted like I had no idea what she was talking about. FH on the other hand goes, "Yes! We even have names picked out all ready." which opened up 10,000 other doors.
We had a nice talk in the car on the ride home about the fact that our sex life is private and that our baby names are not to be shared because they will then form their own opinions and I don't want to hear them. I don't want to hear how they got pregnant this way, or that so and so they know had a piece of cake conception. Obviously, that is not happening for us and we don't need to be reminded of that while we are actively again TTA for several more months.
I am already emotional basketcase, and this broke my heart!!!!! I hope you get that joy soon for own little one. ((((hugs))))

I'd say go for it. That's pretty ridiculous for them to tell you that AC will be full blast, reschedule, and give you a hard time for a cardigan and tank. GL with that.

I am so over work. I really like my job, but this last year has been awful due to layoffs and a few employees quitting. My work load has been outrageous this year (our project year runs June through February).
My project is finally on track and I should be able to relax. Instead, I am going to be spending the next 3 weeks helping another project get caught up. I normally don't mind helping out, but the people working on this project do the same thing every year. They work as little overtime as possible and at the end of the project expect everyone else to help them catch up.

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
1. The Pats lost. I secretly hope that since we lost we will kind of be an underdog again. I can't stand when people say they hate a team just because they are good. I understand the Belichick thing but I really think they are a well-deserving team.
2. I am sad that because after my annual ob/gyn appt I realized that because we TTA for 6 months this past year that I have to start over with counting months TTC. Instead of 8 I am back to 4. I'm not a wannabe if'er...I just am exhausted about thinking about TTC. We started at the beginning of Dec. 2010 so it just feels like foreverrrrrrrrr
Tell me about it! I couldn't believe she actually said it out loud!!! I just wish I never opened my mouth and told her we were trying again.
I feel a cold sneaking up on me, I have been miserable the past two days. Cant breath, cant sleep, my whole body just aches. With the not feeling good mess, I believe its been jacking with my temps, so Im all over the place due to prob low grade fever and being sleep deprived.
I have been cramping the past couple of days, which usually happens before AF. I know Im not out til she gets here, but I'm just not all that hopeful this cycle anymore...
AND, today is the day I announced the engagement at work since our office was closed for 3 days and then the weekend and one a the ladies I work with smarts off... well that still doesnt mean you can have a baby yet, I looked at her and couldnt even resist, and said "I will have a baby whenever I want to have a baby" It really just ticked me off
I begged DH for the two of us to take a mental health day today because I just felt like I needed it after a small emotional episode over the weekend and being in class all weekend so I really didn't have a day off. He declined and asked for us to do it when the weather was nicer out. I was okay with that until I got into work and out of the blue I got an IM from a co-worker asking me if I was okay? I replied yep, why? Again out of the blue she said to me "all that baby talk. i know it's like rubbin salt in your wounds". I wasn't aware that anyone was baby talking so this caught me completely by surprise and of course the flood gates in my eyes opened up. I should have just stayed home today. Ugh!

Where to begin.....
We rented our house out over the weekend, which could have been really great since it is helping pay for our upcoming trip to Hawaii. But on Sunday morning I got a call from the renters that there was a "plumbing issue". I told them to hold off on calling a plumber and that I'd deal with it. When we returned to our house after a 4 hr drive, our entire master bathroom had been flooded, and there was dried toilet paper, food, poop and God only knows what else crusted all.over.the.floor. The toilet had some nasty looking crud in it (it looked / smelled like poo and barf). Since they couldn't use water, they couldn't do their dishes. Soooo, our kitchen was filled with gross dishes everywhere, including a crockpot with remnants of greasy pulled pork. So basically, I got to come home and clean up sh*t all over our house. Oh, and they smoked and left cigarette butts in the yard. And they generate the most trash I've ever seen - literally, like 6 bags of trash for just a weekend. And there was a condom in the trash too. Sick. Aaaaand, he is arguing with me about how I don't want to give back the security deposit. The plumbing cost $355, their deposit was $300. He says it could have happened anytime, the plumber says no way, it was from them this weekend b/c it was in the pipes so close to the house. Whatevs.
Aaaaaah, that feels better.
Dx: Feb '13 - HSG shows clear tubes but minor diverticulitis; Borderline DOR; Low DHEA and low testosterone.
Moving on to IUI or IVF.

These are porbably more FWP but here's mine:
I've been craving Subway for weeks, so last night I finally broke down and went to get dinner for us. It's a new Subway and after waiting in line for 30 minutes I find that they were out of everything that my family and I wanted.
I left and went through the McDonalds drive thru instead because I knew my kids would at least be happy. Got home, passed out everyone's food and discovered they had failed to put my food in the bags
My sweet husband offered me his food and also offered to go back out to get me something but I was in such a bad mood at that point I said no.
So I went and took a bath while my family ate so I could cry and feel sorry for myself.
I also took a test this morning and it was a bfn. I'm sure my period is on the way which explains crying over Subway and McDonalds.

Wow that seems very immature. How old is your sister?? I wouldn't call back if I were you, let her call you.
My fertility friend says I ovulated early. Luckily, we BD'd that night. Unluckily, that was the first night in like 2 weeks...So hopefully, those sperm actually swam well
Sad that I'm actually praying we ovulated later or still haven't yet!!!! So frustrating!

She is 29. She is very immature. I am going to let her call me. I had hoped that maybe by sending her a message she would have time to calm down but I think she is still mad at me.
