CD10

This will be a brief post.  Today was my CD10 appointment at my original clinic in W.  I worry even more about getting to work on time than I used to.  Before I could make a 6:30am appointment, but now with daycare not open before 7 (and who wants to wake a baby so early anyway) I can't make my appointments until 7:30.  I was called for my u/s at 7:50 and had met with my RE by 8am.

He said to me, "nothing is happening."  I said, "Are you surprised?"  He said, "no really, you have nothing happening."   And I said, "I figured...don't you remember last time?  You had me on 3 estrace patches, 3 estrace pills, and one vaginal pill."  He said, "but this is just the test cycle, you don't need that now."  I said, "I know, but I figured nothing would be happening."

He wants to see me again this weekend.  Okay, I'll drop Scarlett off at my parents again this Sunday morning and take the drive out to M. only to find out that "nothing is happening."  I'm figuring that he's going to put me on progesterone soon to build up my lining so he can do the biopsy around day 25.  Then I'll stop taking the progesterone and get a period and begin my FET cycle.

Here's a facebook post from someone I know (but am not friends with).  Tell me what you think about this:

SCORE!!! Another planned pregnancy on the 1st try... a healthy #2 well on the way!!!




With a picture of a positive pregnancy test!!!  Can you have less tact than that?  How many people struggle with infertility?  This girl needs to rub everyone's face in her positive?  BTW, this is not a choice mom.

Okay, I'm going to try to make it an early night for real!  Plus I really wanted to read some blogs tonight too!

    Oh, I'd be so tempted to call her out on it. It is Infertility Awareness Week, after all.

    I know that you have to do this test cycle, but I hate that you're having to go to so much trouble just to hear "nothing is going on." So frustrating!

    I don't think that woman on FB is mature (or empathetic) enough to be a mom of 1 much less 2. As if she really had any control over her fertility...nope, she just got incredibly lucky (no pun intended).

    Oooh that FB post grates on me. And she had to throw in "a healthy #2" on the way... like she can know that! (Let me add here that for those of us that don't have 100% healthy children the phrase "healthy is all that matters!" is a bit insensitive, too).

    Anyways, good luck with the rest of your monitoring and your FET cycle - it is an awful lot to juggle with a child and a job.

    That FB woman - not someone I'd be friends with... Besides being insensitive it is also so immature. Like getting pregnant is a contest.
