hey girls I just need to rant for a min (or longer lol) yesterday I went to the RE to do labs for autoimmune stuff and have the results of my day 3 labs. first they poked me like 4 time to find my vain because I have had so much drawn in the last week that the good one isn't good anymore so they dug around in it to get their 5 tubes. then dr told me I have a hormone problem with my c-peptide so I am on meds for that( which isn't bad its a answer and that's what we want)
***BFP mentioned***
when I fially got home I wasn't feeling good so I took a nap and got woke up by my best friend (the only friend with no kids!!) telling me she was a week late and was buying a PT. she came and got me and we went so she could take it.....BFP! I couldn't believe it.( she isn't read for kids yet) im trying to not be angry with her but now its all she talks about and she keeps asking if im mad and feels bad that its not me but its not helping. I feel horrible for feeling this way I just don't know what to do, she was my safe place and now I don't even have that. im just so angry that its so easy for some and we all have to fight like hell to have it. all I want to do is cry and hide.
so that's my rant for the day!!!
