Re: **Whine Wednesday**
I'm just a ball of stress...My brother moved in this weekend and he started school today and he's been great- no issues with him other than trying to reverse 16 years of absolute no direction whatso ever...
and Lorenzo decided to this week not to sleep and lastly, I have an slight e.coli imbalance from traveling..nothing serious but digestion has been painful...
I hate when my boss thinks I'm a mind reader.
Lately my commute has really been frustrating. People are so rude and pushy and DUMB. Not to mention all of the issues Metro has, refuses to resolve and yet increases fares almost monthly lately.
And this is minor but no one is televising the Capitals preseason game tonight so i need to listen to it on the radio or online. It feels so primitive in 2010! But nonetheless, hockey season is here.
Warning to all. I will be whining about this for awhile so if it's annoying...I'm sorry but it's a huge part of my life. This is long bc it's a whine/update since I haven't really posted in a while.
Onto cycle #6. Our timing could not have been more perfect last cycle. I have no idea how much more sex I can have! We haven't touched each other since then...we both are just over sexed, which really sucks. Now he's gone on a trip until next Wednesday which is pretty much when we have to do it again for a baby.
I'm going to start to go to my RE for mid-cycle U/S so they will tell us when to have sex. I ran into my RE last week at CNY and asked him what the definition of being "really fertile" was supposed to be considering we've been trying since May (post drugs and surgery) and I'm not feeling so super fertile. He told me to come in for the u/s and to stop temping, OPK's etc.
Of course I call the office, give them my name so they can look me up. I tell them what I need per what my doctor said and they ask me if I'm a patient...really...no I'm just calling for shitts and giggles and ran into Dr at CNY because it's where I hang out. UGH!
But now the real thing that is starting to get to me is that I have to bring up the next steps at my u/s appt. We haven't used any protection since Sept 2008. Granted there were months here and there we freaked out and used a condom. But in general there was no prevention and nothing happened. Then from Dec-April it was surgery and drugs to treat the endo. They told me I would get KU easily...yet six cycles later I'm not seeing the "easy" part of it. If I'm not KU by December....that would put me at about 9 cycles since drugs (all depends on if I have long or short cycles), but that is enough for them to want to move me up to the next step.
This is my biggest fear. I know this sounds insane but I had a dream when I was 14 that I would have problems having kids. Everyone laughs at me when I tell them this but it's coming true. I know the usual procedure after they monitor me for a few months is to move to IUI but the success rate isn't that good and if I have to shoot myself up with drugs I rather just jump to IVF where my odds are better. It's all just crushing down and it's a lot to deal with. DH and I are going to talk adoption again come December if we are not KU because I just am so terrified it's not going to happen for us. The odds are not in my favor so far, well besides that DH's SA is amazing so all of the problems lay on me. I'm the one that has problems. UGH LONG WHINE. Sorry.
Abba - is he going to R or B? I know a lot of the teachers at R as well as a bunch of students.
Sept - sorry to hear about your problems TTC. Baby dust to you!
My whine is trying to get a new class up and running. I have to fill out all these forms and they are SO confusing. I just want to go to the board and say this is what I want to do and this is why I want to do it. It's really annoying!
Q and I are both sick with colds and it stinks! I feel so bad for my little guy
I woke up with a bit of a sore throat today, but I think it just may be allergies or talking too much.
Also, I was shocked to realize that "snarky" is not a real word. I have been using it regularly, and now I feel like a tool!
Sure is a word! http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snarky
He's going to R...I wanted him to go to B but I think with R being so small..it will be good for him..
I know a bunch of the teachers there and I know students in 10th and 12th grades (I probably know more than that but I have relatives and neighbors in both of those grades). Let me know if you need anything or want more info on something.
