Throat Punch Thursday

TGI...TPT!

meld42 · June 2014

I want to throat punch our post wash numbers. And infertility in general. DH's quality all improved to normal levels in everything, except count was way low. Post wash total motile count was 2.6 million.

I was so hopeful for our IUI, and I've just been so upset since seeing the count.

THROAT PUNCH INFERTILITY! I hope the caps locks conveyed my intensity.

TP to drive-by bfps. Really???

Huge throat punch to AF, who is supposed to arrive today, for not showing up yet. I am waiting on it to call for my Climid Rx! I'm guessing my lap. surgery may have thrown it off... so just a huge throat punch to the whole thing.

TP to the roller coaster of emotions that comes with this process. I'm waiting for AF, not on any meds other than low dose aspirin and a multi vitamin, and I could either cry at any minute or snap someone's head off.

I can't wait for the roller coaster of IVF (said with intense sarcasm)...

TP to the 3 #tbt Instagram posts on IN A ROW of women posting old pictures their giant baby bumps. Glad those can keep resurfacing every week. X(

Edit: my clumsy digits chose the wrong emoticon

I'm new to this board, and I am LOVING this Throat Punch thing! I want to TP Facebook. I am happy for my pregnant friends (5 of them in all) and friends with brand new babies (4 of them), but it is a constant feed of bump and baby pictures and statuses about being pregnant, a new mom, etc.

I decided to take a FB break because I just can't handle it all right now.

@LindseyM2012‌ sounds like we both need to steer clear of social media for a minute!

I'd like to TP my husband for not being able to make a decision on using DS. He's been waffling and I'm ready to get the show on the road already.

I'd also like to TP our EMR are work that has crashed 8 times already today and is completely offline now. Because we all love having to hand write notes and then enter them into the EMR when it decides it finally wants to work.

Big TP to my vendor who has been having issues with their servers so i cannot place my order online. I have to phone it in and I've been on hold for almost 20 minutes! I'm giving it 3 more minutes and then its time for a nasty e-mail.

@FINEdoubleLINE‌ Thanks for the information. I was wondering. It's no fun that the one time I actually want it to show up, its possibly off. Lol. Totally noticed i spelled Clomid wrong, too.

SnowFlake84 · June 2014

And a second TP to the person who totally lost it on me today and went off like a spider monkey in our workplace. Probably not the best decision....

meld42 · June 2014

@bluejoan -

This was our first IUI, and counts have always been low:( First sample since DH being on clomid, so I was expecting a better increase

But, we knew from the beginning that IVF was what our team of doctors recommended. So, onward we move! I was having quite the pity party this am/since tuesday.

I'd like to throat punch being benched!! I really wanted to focus on medicated cycles this summer in hopes that I wouldn't have to worry about it any more when I went back to work in August. If my RE won't give me birth control and I have to wait and do Provera (not sure yet, I'm asking one more time), then we won't be back in the game for 7 weeks or more. :-(

I was complaining about this to my husband, and he made me this picture. I figured anyone who had even been benched would appreciate it. I've never attached a picture before, so we'll see if I can even get it to work....

I can't get it to work. At least, it looks broken on my computer. I think if you click the link it works though!

StacyLH24 · June 2014

@lebradford - Love the graph!

Mozzarella13 · June 2014

For the ladies waiting for AF, when I was waiting for her a few weeks ago, I tempted fate and wore new undies and white shorts to go get my hair cut...guess who showed up?! To top it off I didn't have a pad or tampon--it was like being a teenager all over again!!

((Hugs)) @lebradford - I love that chart, although I'll say they missed the initial spike of wine intake when you first learn that you're benched. I hope you're able to talk your RE into putting you on birth control so that you can hopefully have a 2-4 week break instead of getting stuck taking provera.

TP to long LPs on medicated cycles 15 dpiui and my period keeps acting like it's going to show up and then all of a sudden stops. I could be hopeful except for all the glaring BFNs and cramping.

My husband made it! Yeah, I told him right away there needed to be a bigger spike at the beginning. ;-)

I'm so sorry you're stuck with a confusing LP and no BFP yet. God! All the waiting is awful!

ETA- Oh, yeah. I have a call into my RE about the BC. They are having the nurse call me in the morning (she's the one who originally said no to BC). I think the doctor will be more willing to listen, the trick is going to be getting him on the phone! :-P

Autumray · June 2014

I wanna TP My body! Today is CD30/13DPO I knew this morning with my gigantic temp drop it was over.... HOWEVER I am SUPER (sadly) excited that I started AF this evening!!! I havent had an actual period in like 6 months without some form of medication to bring it on. I actually O'd this month NOW AF without Provera.... Im ecstatic!

@meld42 - I understand being disappointed. How long has your DH been on clomid? We were told to wait 3 months between SA to see if anything improved. We were also told IVF was our best shot but DH had varicocele surgery in December and we have moved into the possibility of IUI. We'll meet with our RE next week to see if she agrees. I'm sorry that you are feeling this way.

He was on it for 3 months, a little improvement, but still very low counts. We were thinking of varicocele, but DH's urologist did a lot to try to find if there was one and couldn't find enough to support a varicocele diagnosis!:( I'm glad that the varicocele surgery has made IUI a possibility! I'll be thinking of you guys!

I'd like to TP my insurance (yet again) for requiring another approval for the meds they have already approved for this cycle. I'm mid-cycle and can't wait 3 days for meds!

I'd like to TP The Bump and their removal of the 3 day wait. The amount of trolling and drive bys is putting me in an even crapier mood. GRRRR! #bringbackthethreedaywait

Ohhhh, that explains a lot! I was starting to wonder why some of these people were actually willing to wait three days to post some of those things!
