  • @LuckyAngel07 - sorrrry!! Spotting is such an evil evil thing! I would almost prefer if AF just showed up for 3 extra days rather than be spot for 3-5 days prior. Just the reason I hate the b*tch even more!

  • Cursing my body too... Apparently, it thinks it's OK to give me different symptoms two months in a row, none of which I've EVER experienced before, and still not be pg. I've never spotted. Ever. AF always just kinda started. Today was supposed to be CD 1, so when I started spotting last night, I figured AF would be here in the morning. I woke up with really bad cramps (normal for day 1), and am STILL just spotting. WTF, body?

  • What's on my mind? Wanting to get white girl wasted on Friday night. Since I have no clue if I ovulated, I went and bought an HPT to take Friday morning "just in case" all the while thinking that was a waste of $17!

  • I'm still kind of in a grumpy mood for no particular reason, although I think I've nailed it down a bit.

    I'm irritable that more than one dr. gave me a high chance of success and I still haven't had a healthy pg. I know it's their job to be optimistic, but if I had a dime for every time I heard "you don't need to consider adoption, you will get and stay pregnant" I could pay for our whole adoption right now.  Maybe mathematically speaking I had/have a statistical chance, but I kind of feel like they were just blowing sunshine up my ass.

    Sorry, that was long. Just what's on my mind.

  • Welcome to the club @PandPMeant2B!! haha @LuckyAngel07 and I were looking for new members to share our misery with!!

    I spotted the tiniest bit on CD 28&29 stopped on CD 30, but had a TON of watery CM, today I spotted a tiny bit and AF was due today. Usually I spot about 4 straight days enough to consider it AF spotting and then BAM AF comes. This month she is playing mind games and this lady is in NO mood for mind games.

  • What's on my mind? The fact that I'm still at work, and I really don't want to be here.  There's stuff I need to get done, but the company I need to work with is on EST and closed at 4.  So now I sit.

    I'm also excited for the pork loin that is sitting in the crockpot at home. Still have to figure out what to have with it.

    Agreed! I would be frustrated with all of the doctors. I know right now is really hard on you. We are all here for you!

  • @Flamingo86 I think it's totally in your right to think theyre full of shit.  When you m/c 4 times it would definitely burn me up too.  I of course always want optimism for you too, but realistically it just so emotionally draining. And adoption will give you an amazing kid too. Doesn't matter how you get it ;-) (well, maybe don't steal one . . . )

  • so far so good. we have a meeting with our counselor tonight which should be good. I really like her...otherwise I got nada. work is a mad house
  • Aw thanks everyone. It's funny the only Dr. whom I felt was more "realistic" with me was my regular ob/gyn. I hate going to her office and seeing all the pregnants and dealing with the snotty nurses, but I like her better than either of the REs I saw. She was the only one who told me "you may or may not be able to carry a child, I don't know, but I support your choice to adopt."

  • I just tried calling my OBGYN office to get a script for DH's SA test and was put on hold for over 10 minutes for the nurses station. This just frustrated me on top of everything else. I ended up hanging up because I can't sit outside my building for more than 10 minutes waiting. Hopefully they are still open at 5...

  • I am waiting for a migraine to "hit". I have had an aura all day and I think it is finally coming. My meds only work for like 4 hours so I try to take them once I know the migraine is here especially since I have had an aura for more than a day before.

  • I'm looking up what rights my friend has to leave her abusive husband and take her baby with her. So, it isn't a great day but I'm glad she's finally starting to realize she has the power to end this cycle. I hate that this is happening to her.

    Hit up the dollar store for those.  $17 is insanity.  I liked the ones from stores like Family Dollar or Dollar General.

  • Thank you @Flamingo86. I hope so too. It's so hard to watch from the outside, I feel so helpless. Thankfully she is across the country now and safe (she's had a trip to see family planned for a while, the not coming back part is recent). We're just hoping that there are no legal ramifications for her leaving with the baby (from what I've read, there most likely aren't any since they are still married and there are no custody issues. I hope this is true.)

  • @Goodwolf I'm pretty sure she's ok in the sense that you can't "steal" your own kid etc, but she does need to file a restraining order stat. And hopefully she has proof of abuse because he might still be legally allowed to visit the baby if she can't prove he's a danger to him/her. I'm really sorry she's going through this and that it gets resolved quickly.
