Trouble TTC

Bad IF Day...Angry Rant

**WARNING: I am about to curse...like, a lot.  Also, children and BFP's mentioned that are obviously not effing mine.***



Big fat fucking goddamn shitting son of a bitching negative.  I just HAD to test a day early (yesterday) and I got the BFN.  And even though I somehow knew it wasn't a false one, I still had the tiniest inkling of hope.  Today AF started and I tried to convince myself it was just implantation spotting because it wasn't that heavy.  But my breasts aren't sore anymore and it wasn't the pink or brown described in all the internet articles I have read about the subject.  So I called my RE's office and let them know I started and then went to the gym to burn off some of my anger about the unfairness of it all.  And I was okay.  But then I come back from the gym to a fire drill at work...so now we are locked out of the office and I am in my gym clothes all sweaty and gross and hungry.  Did not improve my mood...but I was still okay.  Then the RE called back to schedule my mid-cycle u/s.  And when I told the nurse I started today she said "I'm sorry about that".  And THAT is when I started losing it.  Somehow the sympathy made it officially real.  I appreciated her sympathy, but it immediately set a lump in my throat that will not go away.

So today I am pissed.  I am pissed that AF had to come today.  I am pissed about the goddamn fire drill.  I am pissed that I have already secretly cried in the ladies room three times in the last week about my fucking infertility and that my face is trying to start its shit again.  I am pissed about all the shit-heads in the world who got pregnant on accident when there are perfectly good people all over the world who want kids and can't have them.  I am pissed that none of you are pregnant.  I am pissed that my super annoying co-worker just got pregnant and everyone is fawning ALL over her.  I am pissed that my company changed their insurance coverage for fertility treatment in January with no notice because we knew we needed to see an RE since September but put it off for convenience and now I have to pay for all this shit out of pocket.  I am pissed that I couldn't wait two more days to test because I wasted a pregnancy test.

OMG...it felt so much better to write all of that out.  The lump is gone, my eyes have stopped stinging.  Let's see if I can make it through the rest of this day without completely losing it.

  • What a sucky day. I'm glad you are able to let it out. Instead of a hug, I think we should all go let out a big scream together. That can help a lot! Treat yourself to drinks and a yummy dessert.
  • I feel ya! This was a great rant and more of us should do it :) So sorry to hear this tho and I completely agree about all those "accidents" and all of us working so hard to get it done!!

  • I'm sorry for your BFN and for your overall crappy day. Ranting is ok and is necessary, I think. You have to get it out somehow.

    Bitch away! I'm sorry about your BFN and your overall cruddy day.

    As far as the alcohol is concerned I have a wine cooler stocked and a liquor cabinet stocked. If that isn't enough there is a drive through daiquiri shop across the street. If you want to come over and get drunk, I got the hook up.

    @iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ I'm not moving we have tons of drive thru's here. This is where everyone needs to live.
    Fucking bump!!!!

  • Rant away. So sorry about your BFN. And I totally agree - sympathy and pity are the worst. That is when I totally breakdown too. Hugs! I vote relaxing bubble bath and glass of wine. Be good to yourself.

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

  • UGHHHH! So sorry you had this effing day! I've cried in the bathroom at work far too many times. Wine... Lots of wine for you. Also, where can I move to to have wine drive throughs? Is that a real thing @Pintobean39‌ or am I misunderstanding?
  • Rant as much as you want! I have to admit that my heart sank when i saw the title of your post knowing you were so close to test time. I am SO sorry for your shitty day & stupid AF being the main cause of it. She's such a rude bitch ;) Agree with pp to have at it with the guilt free alcohol binge..maybe add in some fav junk food!

    Married Oct 2011

    TTC since April 2013
    Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.
    Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14
    B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone
    SA: Normal :)
    U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows
    DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more
    Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos 
    HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok
    WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB

  • @cupcake122 we have drive through liquor stores so you can get beer, wine, hard liquor or what ever you want. There just aren't a lot of them, I actually only know of 1 and it's not close by. All of the stores here sell all the alcohol (grocery stores, walmart, target... Etc) so we don't have to go to a speciality store to buy it. We do have drive through daiquiri shops everywhere though.

    @kmdecoux‌ yes I'm in Louisiana, right outside of New Orleans. No clue how you guessed. :-) I hate when I'm on vacation I had to buy my Bloody Mary mix in 1 store and the vodka at another.
