Trouble TTC

Trying to enjoy the little things....

On Friday I was annoyed to be stuck in the house alllllll day waiting for UPS to arrive with my Ovidrel Shot that I had to sign for.  Seriously, I'm like their last stop and I never know if they are coming at 2 PM or 7 PM.  So I wait, and I wait and I wait.....Finally got here and the pharmacy had packed my shot with a handful of Hershey Kisses!  A sweet surprise, and it literally made my day!

Today I cleared my facebook feed of all baby-pregnancy poster abusers.  I am so tired of a facebook feed that is picture after picture after picture of babies and baby bumps. Gag Me!

I also am throwing caution to the wind, I haven't taken my temperature or used an OPK all month - I'm just going with the flow and seeing results at monitoring appointments.  It's liberating!

Tomorrow I go in for CD13 monitoring (first-timer here) and I'm just wishing and hoping that I have (or will soon have) some nice follies!

Re: Trying to enjoy the little things....

  • Is your pharmacy Mandell's? The Hershey's Kisses are a nice touch, and I've enjoyed them with all of my med deliveries (or when I've gone to pick up) :) 

    Good for you for the Facebook purge. I did that a few months ago, and it has made my FB experience much more enjoyable again.

    Good luck at your monitoring appointment tomorrow! I hope you have some good follies in there :)

  • Yea for getting a little surprise!

    I need to do exactly what you did on Facebook.  I will probably wait a week then purge some family.  It is sad to do but at the same time I can't handle 7 months of reading about another child.  My other family knows my struggles and with today's announcement they instantly sent messages to ignore her.  I will do it but I have to be good about it.

    Me: 35   DH:  29

    TTC:  Since 10-31-2007

    Dx:  Me: PCOS, an-ovulation    DH:  Nothing so far

    2007-2011 - Tried Clomid, Ovidrel Trigger with TI -BFN

    11/2013 - back to RE for new plan.

    Cycle 1: Letrozole cd3-7; U/S cd12 (27mm left); ovidrel trigger; progesterone test and suppositories - BFN

    HSG- 12/16/13 - clear and "Beautiful" per Dr. Attaran

    Cycle 2- Letrozole cd3-7, ovidrel trigger, progesterone test and suppositories-BFN

    BENCHED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE



  • Good luck at monitoring. FX for good surprises only. I think this part is exciting!
    Me: 34 | He: 40
    TTC since 08/2012
    DX: DOR




  • I am a first-timer too and tomorrow is my CD13 monitoring! We are twins! :) I got my Ovidrel at Walgreens though, no Kisses and they were jerks. I will have to check out Mandell's - they are online I assume?

    I also have not temped or used OPKs this cycle (quit temping a couple months ago actually) and it has been a lovely break. FX for this cycle!

  • @BlueJell0 Yay for Cycle Twins!  I'm not sure if they are an online pharmacy or not, my RE just set up the ovidrel with them.  They are a specialized pharmacy just for fertility meds and everyone I talked to to get the prescription filled was super friendly and kind, unlike other pharmacies, they know we are going through a lot emotionally and I think go out of their way to be sensitive.  Good Luck tomorrow!

  • I just hid a friend who is talking nonstop about her pregnancy.  Seriously, I don't give a shit what you're cravings are.

    If I found out someone hid me after I got knocked up I wouldn't really mind.  But at the same time, I'm not going to announce every ache, craving, mood swing, or whatever.  It'll be my experience and mine alone to share with C.  The less AW you are about your pregnancy, the more interested I'll actually be when I ask you "how's it going?"

    Nice touch with the Hershey kisses by the way!  I wonder if mine will have a sweet surprise :) I had to order Follistim and Ovidrel from MDRx.

  • That is so sweet! I'm trying to combat (and educate everyone about infertility). I'm still debating if I need to hide the baby bump and newborn posts tho.

    A friend mentioned posting a ton of pictures of their cat. I thought that was funny and clever. Tho people would probably be to dense to get the correlation (baby=cat).

  • It lured a few of us in. :/ evil.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Haha I logged and I was wth why do I have so many notifications! Lol. I'm surprised so few dislike MDRx, I've had nothing but positive experiences with them. I'm actually a little sad to Re-see this thread, I posted this right before my first IUI and here I am 4 months later and 4 big fat failed IUIs behind me. I really thought once they got me ovulating I'd have some success and now I just worry that there might be a serious egg-quality issue. Arrgh!
