Re: Happy Friday to you

  • I am currently bumping from the ER. DH was in a car accident this morning, he's ok just getting checked out, but his car is totaled. My meds are being delivered today, luckily my dad is off today and he is sitting at my house in case the fed ex guy shows up while I am not there. I have a few more meds to pick up at the local pharmacy and I need to get money moved around so that I can pay my cycle off on Monday. I was supposed to go to a jewelry party this evening, but I will probably skip it. Other than that I have to work this weekend.

  • I have a fun weekend planned, my best friend and I have a dinner and a movie date tonight (gone girl, for Flynn fans-I heard they are making dark places too which im much more excited about!). Then tomorrow my parents/sister and her husband are visiting to go to a harvest festival. As for fertility, yesterday was my last bcp and I'm still on Lupron-I'm nervous bc the vial is so small but my nurse swears it's enough for two weeks... My first appointment is Monday. I have so much anxiety and sadness already about this cycle, like I'm just preparing for bad news before we even begin :(

    @Twinkie0612,‌ I'm so happy to hear that your DH is ok!

    @KM672, Sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Snuggle in little one!!

    @sorrellam30, have so much fun this weekend.

    AFM: No real plans. I'm on call all weekend, starting tonight. As for now, it's only looking like I'll have one scheduled patient.

    I hope to squeeze in a little yard work. In cycling news I start stims in 10 days. I'm still estrogen and testosterone priming, progesterone started a few days ago. I really hope I make it to retrieval, if not I'm giving up and moving onto either Donor Embryo or if it's not super expensive a shared fresh DE/DS cycle.

  • @Twinkie0612‌ - thank god your H is ok!! Hope he is feeling ok too... I'm sure it scared both of you :(

    @sorrellam30‌ - I was always nervous about having enough Lupron, but I never ran out!

    Well, you all know my update. This weekend is going to be rough... I'm pretty depressed about the whole situation. I was relying heavily on that other embryo to at least give us another chance with the steroids, lovenox and intralipids... Or at least give me a couple of months to think this all through.

    My husband was off today, we spent the day together and have the weekend off together. I'm so grateful for that and my husband in general. For the first time, I'm beginning to imagine how life will be if we end up childless.

  • So many hugs to @Km672‌ <3

    I'm glad everyone is ok @Twinkie0612‌ but I'm sorry you had a stressful day.

    @sorrellam30‌ - I hope you can find some peace of mind through your next cycle. Have a fun weekend!!

    @mm29‌ - it seems like your cycle is coming up so soon!!! I'm wishing you all the best!

    AFM, our donor signed the contract, meds were ordered, bills were received.... This is really happening!!!

    This weekend will be fun. I'm going to the city tomorrow with a buddy. Sunday is my last race of the 9+1 program (which means i will have earned a spot for next year's marathon!!!!!!!). It also happens to be my last long run before my cycle, so it's a little bittersweet. You bet your bottom dollar that I'm gonna make it count.

  • @sorrellam30‌ - it's just so weird because I've been married to my husband for over 7 years and it's just been the 2 of us, so sometimes I don't understand why it would be so unbearable.

    I'm unbelievably sad, but I wonder will ever get easier if we make the decision to stop treatment?

    I'm so dreading the holidays...
    They are the worst time of the year to be without kids.

  • @sorellam30 I actually called my nurse about the tiny bottle and she swore it would be fine.  She suggested that if I thought I was getting low to pull it all out into a syringe to reassure myself that there was enough.  

    @twinkie0612 Sending my T&Ps to your and your husband.  The last thing you all need is more stress.

    @RunCC37 :-) :-) :-)

    AFM, I got my stupid period again.  I just had it, but it was after taking progesterone when I got canceled mid-stim.  So, I guess I'm not shocked, but still...booo.

    We are headed out to Camden Yards in a bit to (hopefully) watch the O's even up the score with the Royals.  
    Me: 34 | He: 40

    I literally just told me husband I don't know how I'll get through the holidays if this goes south on us. I think it's weirdest for me bc I was perfectly fine during our break-maybe because I knew we had it to come back too.
