The cost of a gallon of gas in Saudi Arabia is $0.49. I can not put into words how much that chaps my azz.
I've heeded everyone's advice (
) and stopped charting at the new year. In the last 2 months, my cycle has grown by 4 days. Totally playing with my head, and now I feel like I need to start charting again, which I didn't really want to stop to begin with. Grrrr.

We've been trying to deal with issues on Jay's credit report for 3 months (well and for years before that in regard to certain things) and can't seem to get anywhere. We're calling in for some help from a family friend but the whole thing is so frustrating. It makes me mad at Jay for not taking care of his sh*t before but I already know that he feels bad so I try not to say anything since that won't do anything but start a fight. I just want to move forward with buying the house but despite my credit (which is very good) all of our debt (student loans, car, cc's) are in my name and I don't make enough money on my own to get pre-approved by myself.
Ugh.
haha, now that Ellie is talking a lot and picking up on words more quickly I am trying to train myself to not cuss anymore. It's kinda not fun lol.
I'm seriously so so tired of looking for a job. I have sent out over 30 resumes in just the last 2 months (this is while working full time and watching Newt), and have only had 1 response which didn't even lead to an interview. wtmf. And now I got the news that the time has finally come, and I'm a month, maybe 2, away from being unemployed. I have no idea what I can do better. I'm applying to positions I'm literally perfect for, based on education, experience, and personal interest, and every single one has gone into the black hole. Job market improving my azz.
Also, it's one of those days with Newt. She just wants to sit with me, but since I'm working I can't really hang out with her. So, she's been screaming at my side for the past hour.
Annnnd, I haven't shagged in I think two months...so...ya...
DD - screw everyone's "advice" and do what feels right to you. I stopped charting for a month at my RE's recommendation because, you know, "it's stressing you out". I was more stressed that cycle not knowing what was going on, so I started again. Now I'm not charting because I'm on the pill, but I will probably pick it back up when we start trying again.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
i hate when people are having minor (read: outpatient) surgery and they say, "you just dont understand."
you're correct. i dont understand how having a surgery that your surgeon does 5x's a day feels. i DO understand how it feels to have a surgery that only two people before you have had and one of those two people died. so i dont have any sympathy for you.
apparently this makes me a cold b!tch.
It drives me crazy that REs say stuff like this. Doctors should know better than this!!!!! I got the same spill from my OBGYN and RE. I want to scream at them "I had been trying for a year before I started charting! We did the playing it cool thing. Didn't work for us!" There has got to be a step between seeing what happens and fertility treatments, but everyone who wants to do something more than just...... well it gets the side eye. Urkes me to no end.
Also, while I'm venting. When someone has been trying to have a baby for 2 years, "stop trying" is piss poor advice. We've sailed that ship.
