Thurs-Friday is kindof like brunch or linner, a little bit of both worlds :)
- Had an awful time getting to my u/s appt Tuesday. Between the impossible task of finding a parking spot, not knowing which building the dr was located in (different location than usual), ending up floating around the maternity wards (yes, that really happened), and nearly having a breakdown when I checked in 15 minutes late, I finally made it. Hardly still sane, but made it.
- The u/s showed no follie activity yet. Nothing over 7mm, after 6 days of shots. Whatevs. There weren't any last time around, it just rules out this cycle moving along any faster than last time, really. On one hand, it should still be fine because we did end up with a good, ovulating, follie last time. On the other, it didn't end up making me a baby. So I'm still a bit jaded and disconnected from this cycle a bit more, mentally at least.
- Shots 8 and 9 hurt like a bitch. And bruised. I am so over this. But I can't complain about them too much bc Dr Boy feels like I'm bitching about HIM and the way HE injects me. Which I'm not, I'm just bitching about it in general. Sigh.
- I'm pissed that this cycle isn't moving faster bc it means we won't be able to fit in a third before we leave for Boston and VT in mid-Oct. Because yes, I'm already thinking about next time. I told you I was feeling disconnected about this cycle. Maybe a quick month off would be good though, I don't know. Give my body a chance to relax a little (I hear relaxing gets you pregnant) and lose the 8 lbs I've gained in the last 6 weeks. What the hell am I saying, I'm going to be pissed if this time doesn't work and we have to waste more time. Pissed.
- I'm attempting to cut out processed sugar, at least for a little bit. I was less than 1 lb shy of 190 when I stepped on the scale yesterday, and that is UNACCEPTABLE. Ohhhhhhhhh no. Mmmm mmmmm. I'm taking the AA "one day at a time" approach. I can refrain from peanut m&m's and Grandmother's peanut butter cookies from the snack shack TODAY. I can say no to the skinny cow ice cream sandwich TODAY. I can give away the chocolate brownies left over from our BBQ TODAY. What did Dr Boy say last night? "We need more good dessert options up in this house." Ha. Get used to it.
- I'm fairly certain the low-sugar deal will only last up until my next BFN. Here's hoping, though.
- I am planting beets and lettuce in my fall garden. About to give up on my peppers and zucchini. It's been a bad year for peppers in my 'hood, and I can't seem to get the zucc's any bigger than 4" before they start to turn yellow. Very odd. I thought they grew like weeds!!! Tomatoes are still going strong though. Yum-tastic.
- My self-esteem lately has been ROCK BOTTOM. This one deserves its own post though. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
I have another u/s this afternoon. Hopefully we'll see something more interesting, since it IS CD12 and all.
That is all.

I can come inject you any time you want - that way I can be the one causing you pain and not DB. :-)

Dude. I know the rock bottom feeling, friend. I like your taking it one day at a time plan. Just do what you have to do TODAY, and forget about all the days to come. I think that's an awesome why to handle things.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of this cycle- UGH. I'm sorry it's sucking so far. I really, really, really hope that you find yourself pregnant at the end of this because geez. It's frustrating.
On the positive note: it IS Friday. Which is spectacular, no?
Good luck with cutting out processed sugar! I'm trying to do it all the time, but I just can't do it. I crave the stuff. I inherited it from my mom. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck hon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be knocked up by october and not need to consider a month off. But methinks it may do you some good. Not the relaxing thing. Just a month off from the hormonal injection craziness. How fun would that be right? Right?!?
Have a great weekend!
