When the shit hits the fan

It really sprays. So this week has been the week from hell. I was so happy after my appointment on Monday that I floated into work. I'm not even there but a few hours and the night manager tells me "Sam is pg. and there are at least 2 others who probably are and don't want to be." Lovely. Sam is a 20 y/o stuck up snot, still in college, just went off bc like not even 3 weeks ago, no plans to get married, NOTHING. Seriously this chick won't be a good mom at all. I say this because she's not a baby person. and she's seriously high school mature. I don't know for sure who the other two are, but I have a damn good idea. and neither one is in a good place right now for babies. That makes HOW MANY out of like 20 cashiers I have to deal with daily. Not to mention my ally in ttc is gone (I think her dad died but all anyone can focus on is her not coming into work. Never mind her poor dad) and there is another chick at work who will be starting ttc towards the end of the year. She comes to tell me that she is convinced she had a m/c or has endo. All because of some black AF blood or whatever. so she comes to me. I gave her my tcoyf to read. She didn't m/c ffs. She just needs to get her ass into a dr and get checked out. Her cycles are more messed up than mine!
Today really blew. I woke up, took my temp and while waiting for it to tell me my result, I told myself "If my temp shoots back up, I'm testing today incase yesterday was a fluke temp due to me being up so late". 97.0. Great. I got up and fed the cat only to look down and see that at 6 am, AF had made a STRONG appearance. Fucking whore. You would swear with the cramps and volume of blood that I had taken asprin the whole cycle, but I didn't. add that on top of MIL wanting to go to the water park and all. Yea I don't think so. I found out that H's cousin (the annoying one who is bragging about becoming an aunt) will be there. I'd kick her ass into the pool and drown her if I were there. Good call on staying home. Now I get to deal with the after math (MIL likes making me the villian when we don't do something they want us to). I just want ONE FUCKING DAY! without hearing all about babies.
And I really am tired of people coming up and asking me if its possible to get pg this way or that. Umm yea...anything is possible. You should look at how PROBABLE it is though. and who said I wanted to be the fertility guru at work? just because I want a baby doesn't mean I want to talk about them all the time. I don't even get any slack on cd1!
I had to call the medical center to set up my cd3 testing (glucose, cholesterol, hormones, etc) and come to find out it wasn't approved like it should be. I have to have 2 drs sign off on it to make sure that the lab work gets done. Like its MY fault AF showed up when she did. I'm sorry my cycle inconveinces you. I'll let my ute know that its be a pain in your ass as well. Idiots. Like I want to wait another 53 days to try this testing again. I guess I'm a fucking idiot for wanting to do this now rather than waiting another cycle.
I just need a good stiff drink and a heating pad. Tonight, I toast cycle 11. May the fucking torture end soon.

My dr visit

Ok, so I will start off admitting I was freaking about nothing. I was so nervous not knowing what she would say. So, I go in and find out I lost 3 lbs since the 14th (YAY!!) and she said "lose about 10 % of your body weight and that should help with your Oing issues a lot. looks like you have put on a lot of weight since you were here a while ago. and then we need to get YH tested and make sure that he's not part of the IF issue. Its clinic policy for us to test the man before we do anything invasive (lap, hsg, etc) just because they can count for 20-40% of IF couples. So if we could get him tested in the next 3 months, that would be great. I don't think you need the OPKs anymore since you know when you should be Oing. Unless you really want to of course. and when this cycle ends in about 2-4 days, I want you to call and set up an appointment to come in cd 3 and do the glucose, cholesterol, lh, and the works. then come back in a week after you O and will will test you again and incluse progesterone. you will want OPKs for that cycle since it will probably be messed up. My goal is to make sure you are pg by summer so you can show off a little belly and then when october comes, you can paint it orange and make a pumpkin out of it. I'm not willing to stop helping you until you and Adam are ready to stop. You have your age and general health working for you and since its no hurry, we can take everything at your speed. If you were 35, we would be working all our magic all at once."
She also told me about a nurse's sister who was 35 when she got pg with her first through IVF. A few years later she was ready for #2 so they tried again and had to turn to IVF again and got twins. Then, her 6 month post partum (because she opted out of bc) they told her she was pg with another. So now she's preping for baby 4 at 41. so she's like "I'm going to mark on your chart here that you said today if only it were as easy as those who say OOPs I'm pg again...remind you after you get this first one out of the way so that you don't come back with an oops". I can't say enough good about this woman. and while my insurance covers diagnosis of any IF issue and the procedure to fix it, it doesn't cover IF meds (which she wants to stay away from as much as possible) or any IUI, IVF, or anything like that.
I'm so excited. I left floating on a cloud. I pray all ladies get a dr like this woman. She didn't try to discount anything that tcoyf, ovusoft, or any of that said. the only thing she had to offer as advice is not having sex daily since we don't know if there are swimmer issues. and she said also to try the days after O just to make sure. She was just so excited and upbeat about it.
Now to find H insurance for him to get tested...
