Infertility
Aaaaand once again, people stink.
I was in a pretty good mood going in to work. I was making copies when a coworker asked if I had kids....totally random, I don't talk with her much. When I said "no", she said "on that's smart." It took everything I had in me to not breakdown right then and there. Why would anyone ever say that? I know she doesn't know my situation and I know it wasn't intended to hurt. But come the eff on, people!

I'll chime in...
I went to the bakery the other day and while I was waiting for stuff the girl behind the counter strikes up a conversation about how her daughter is driving her crazy. She proceeds to ask if I have kids and when I answered "not yet" her reply was "thank your lucky stars. I have four and they are hard work. Don't do it"
Patients ask all the time and when I say no the answer almost always is "I bet after delivering so many of them you probably want nothing to do with children"
Ugh.
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!

Definitely annoying...people at work keep asking what I'm waiting for and "it's time" ugh whatever people!
