Because I think I'm Superwoman (RANT)

in Infertility
So I'm going to a girlfriend's tonight to meet her new baby girl. I swear I'm okay with it.... I SWEAR.... ::fingers crossed::
So I pull up to Babies R Us to get her a little something and I text a friend and I'm like "OMG - BRU - tear tear tear" but really, I'm okay. Really this time!
And then I walk in. "You cannot be the woman who breaks into hysterics in BRU" is what I kept repeating to myself over, and over, and over again. Even the woman pulling her hair out in aisle 3 trying to manage her rowdy kids wasn't enough to not make me wish I was shopping for myself.
::sigh:: If I were a crayon I'd be GREEN WITH ENVY.
Online shopping from here on in.

I was given the pleasure of buying diapers for my husband's co-worker for his "poker game/man's baby shower".

Beta #1(14dpo)- 94 Beta#2(22dpo)- 1,619 Beta#3 (28dpo)- 11,396!!!

You are a strong woman for even going in the store. I get misty driving by it! I would just grab a card from my card box somegave gave me a few years ago, put a $20 in it and avoid the pain.
smart girl! It's never easy having to go in there for gifts. I went to my best friend's baby shower last year the morning I got my BFN from IUI #2. We really are gluttons.
3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
IVF #1 never made it to transfer
On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!
"You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it."
-- Margaret Thatcher
We're about to start an IVF cycle and have a niece's birthday party that will fall right around beta. I bought and wrapped her gift last week so that if we get a BFN I won't have to deal with child-related shopping. I learned that trick on here. Think ahead about when you might be most vulnerable, then get any shopping done ahead of time. It's all about taking care of yourself.
