  • YES, ME TOO!!!!

    I had a particularlly hard Christmas eve/day. We have quite a few out of town family members visiting and lots of kiddos.  One of my H's nephews who is 7 y/o made us a christmas card and read it to us as we all snuggled in his bed. He said he called us mommy and daddy in the card cuz he loves us so much. It was soo soo sweet and so heartbreaking at the same time. I wanna steal that kid, lol. Then the next morning with all the kids opening gifts and the excitement I just couldn't stop thinking how I should still be preggers and why don't I have any kiddos myself. So, I retreat to burying my face in my phone to try and ignore it all. And what do I immediately see ... a post from a 20 year old announcing she's pregnant with a guy she's barely dating. Well that teared me up pretty bad. Everyone around me was like why are you mad, you look so mad right know. It's not mad people, it's uncontrollable sadness.  You're so darn oblivious so I suffer alone.

    I did get a positive opk on Christmas day.  Great, thanks body. All these people in my home and I have to BD now?  I didn't tell the H about the + opk, but we somehow managed a little, quiet bd'ing very late at night anyhow. Can't imagine it would work, but hey anything is possible. 

    Ok, I'm getting off my soap box now :)

    It was nice having friends over. One is up here from NC. I havnt seen her since she moved down there. Plus I didn't have to drink alone.

    I love staying home on New Years. I'm always designated driver so if we stay home I can drink and not worry.
    My brother has a huge party in jersey and I would hate that drive home. So we get to stay in. Woop woop.

  • i don't like NYE much its always a big hype and rarely meets expectations. This year one friend is havine a roaring 20 party but they live 2 hours away, another friend is having  a party, but his halloween one was kinda lame, the "groups" didn't mix well, so we will stay home.

    we would much rather go to New Orleans, we did that one year because of a huge mix up in our reservation we were in teh best hotel in teh French Quater. We had so much fun, its packed but only in the square, not like NYC which IMHO sucks NYE.

  • I'm feeling guilty about all the drinks I had at a Jason Boland concert last night. I was hungover all day. I don't know what I was thinking. This is my first super O and IUI cycle too. :( Today, I read that even as little as 1-5 drinks per week can decrease your fertility. I have read that before, but my nurse said one or two glasses of wine wouldn't hurt as long as I wasn't in the ovulation to 2ww phase. One or two led to three or five. So, I have renewed my resolve not to drink at all anymore. I will practice yoga, take hot baths and read to unwind instead. It's going to be tough on my social life. Hopefully, I will figure something out and stick with it.

    My best friend got trashed a few days before she got her BFP after IUI. He is a happy healthy 4 yo little boy. I think as long as you don't make a habit out of drinking too much you will be ok ( until you get the BFP ).

    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. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
