in Trouble TTC
Went to my adult cousins bday yesterday and I was the ONLY woman who wasnt pregnant or already a mom. There was 4 pregnant ladies there and of course the conversation revolved around delivery, and other baby stuff. Cherry on the cake my cousins IL's said "I thought you would be one of the preggo (puke) ones". I told her "we're doing Fertlity treatments and have been trying for 2 years so maybe one day". She looked kinda flustered but I don't care, after an entire day with a bunch of pregnants I didn't want to deal. And now we're on 600km/370 mile round trip for a freaking CD12 u/s. just had to rant-I know you ladies would understand.

    Thanks ladies, it was a huge surprise, didn't cry until the car on the way home. Just had my monitoring appt, 1.35, 1.5, 1.55 (I think) they want them to be between 1.8-2cm so we are back tomorrow and possible trigger tomorrow with IUI Tuesday so now we have to drive all the way home so DH can work tomorrow then I will come down and back again by myself and then come down together Tuesday for the IUI. It's a LOT of driving but it's cheaper than hotels and eating out. This way I can pack a lunch and the dogs don't have to go to my parents. Sorry for the wall of text, mobile bumping

    What a great response to such an insensitive comment!  

    That must be difficult to have to make such long drives to your appointments.  Hopefully you will get good results soon.

    Ugh, how annoying!  I think people don't mean to be hurtful or insensitive but it's just that most people just don't understand IF and will often make comments that hit a sensitive spot for us.  Happens to me quite often!  :-/  I like that you stood up for yourself and answered back though!  I have never been able to do that (mainly because I don't feel comfortable telling most people that I'm on treatment).  I really admire you for that!

    Me 34   Him 33

    Me - Left salpingo-oophorectomy at 19 due to large cyst/torsion  and 2 large uterine fibroids found at age 30
    Him - Borderline low sperm count (correcting through Fertility Blend supplement)

    Married 8/20/2011
    TTC #1 since Jan 2013
    First appointment with RE 10/2013.  
    April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
    May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
    June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN
    July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7.  Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM.  IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN
    July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.
    August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)
    August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!  
    November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found).  Benched x 3 months

    Ugh, people are just clueless about IF.  I think that it just doesn't even cross their minds.  Even so, what if you simply weren't interested in having children?  That would still be a personal matter, where that type of comment is insensitive.  Good for you for responding like that!
