I feel like a failure of a mother. I've planned exactly zero for our loss anniversary. I had all these grand ideas of donating toys to the children's hospital or bringing little knit hats to the NICU or bringing a cookie and fruit tray to L&D nurses. All, of course, in honor of our baby. And I did nothing. I feel like I begged people to remember him and then I planned nothing to keep the memory alive.
IUI - BFP! Baby boy born still - August 2012
IVF - BFP - miscarriage June 2013
FET - BFN
FET - BFN
Switched clinics
IVF with PGD - three embryos created, all healthy - July 2014 FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
I am sitting at my desk trying to coach myself into believing if I don't think about AF then she won't come... then 30 minutes later I think I feel "wet" and run to the bathroom and there's no AF. Then I replay the whole coaching in my head again. Like this will somehow work...
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~ DH was not ready for IUI so we waited ~Started acupuncture in May 2014~ ~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
((hugs)) @ILoveRedVino. You're not a failure. I can't imagine how overwhelming the emotions of loss are, but even a little negative emotion sends all my best-laid plans of productivity out the window. Don't beat yourself up too much.
TTC since July 2012
BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13

You are not a failure. You don't have to do something to prove that you remember him.
You could still do something - it doesn't have to be on the exact day. No one would fault you for "missing" the date with your act of kindness.

My confession is that I might pretend to be sick so I don't have to go to my BILs house tonight.

You have been looking a little pale lately.

(HUGS) @ILoveRedVino. Don't beat yourself up too much, it doesn't take a grand gesture to remember.
My FFFC is that I have eaten crap all week, including gluten and dairy! I'm about to leave for vacation for a week so I don't see things changing significantly anytime soon. I've already gained 5lbs - this needs to stop now!

My confession: my mother and I are throwing a baby shower on Sunday for my SIL. I am not at all excited. In fact, the opposite. Crazy excited for my niece or nephews arrival, but not this weekend.
We were at my cousins shower just after she announced, and I seriously couldn't take being asked when we would be announcing every 3 minutes. I can't imagine what this one will be like. Ugh.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps, Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14. Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482 Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!
Thanks @LuckyAngel07. I know it's really not a big deal, and I will be fine. I just happen to be related to people who don't think before they open their mouths. %-(

@Iloveredvino *big squishy creepy internet hugs* You are not a bad mom. Try not to be so hard on yourself and have high expectations (easier said than done). You remember and that is what matters. He doesn't need some grand gesture, just your love!

for goodness sake its friday! if someone bothers you tell them to shove it!
#2 I'm not going to BILs house! I just said to DH "I have my period, the Clomid is going to make me unspeakably hot, and I want to take my bra off and spend my weekly WW allowance on ice cream and read HarryPotter". He smiled and have me a kiss and told me to have fun. Success without fibbing!!

I faked an orgasm this week, to make DH happy. He has insisted that perhaps we're not getting pg because I'm not "enjoying myself enough". After what seemed like an hour of ST, I couldn't take it anymore. I'm a terrible person.
I can't enjoy scheduled ST to that extent. I just can't.
Re: FFFC
I woke up with a headache. I really want to call my friend and tell her NOT to come down and visit with her 3 kids.
