WTF Wednesday

This post is simply a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Forgive me.

  1. Thanks for putting up with my bitterness regarding my friend J's pregnancy. I have put a congrats card in the mail, said my piece about it and am now moving on. Note to all other friends out there who have yet to get pregnant: DO NOT be afraid to tell me when you get pregnant. Be very afraid if you wait too long to tell me you're pregnant. I would rather know and have you be up front with me than learn later on. So do our friendship a favor and just fess up.
  2. I am and have been wearing my extremely comfy jammy pants from the minute I walk in the house each day. They go swimmingly with the giant pair of cranky pants that I am also wearing. Just ask DH--poor guy can't catch a break.
  3. It is a miracle: I have not POAS yet. I'm 9dp3dt and I am still living in lala land. There aren't even any sticks in the house to pee on, and when I went to the store yesterday I didn't so much as glance down the pee stick aisle. I'm now debating whether to test at all prior to my beta which is on Saturday. The Doc-o-the-day will call with the result probably late afternoon, so I had contemplated testing Saturday AM before I go to the beta to sorta prepare myself. Still hopeful, mind you. I just want to have an idea if I should be prepared to get sh**faced on green beer that night. Opinions welcome here.
  4. I've been racking my brain the last day or so about the 2WW from my previous two IVFs compared to this one. IVF #1 I did estrogen patches every other day plus PIO plus progesterone gel vaginally. I know I felt icky but I'm not sure I felt this icky. IVF #2, I only did PIO. I was a zombie by beta day, but I really didn't feel much else. This time, I'm on oral estrogen twice a day and PIO and by today I feel like total ick. I'm tired, cranky, angry, sad, crampy, hungry, full, gassy, burpy, teary, exhausted and just plain ready to move forward. Again, still hopeful. But just the thought of having to feel like this for nothing is starting to creep in. As in, if the outcome isn't what I hope it is, I am just so ready to cry, sleep and get back to my life.
  5. Funny, get back to my life. This is my life. I want a child more than anything. I don't have another part of my life that I really actually want to get back to. Other than trying to drop the last year of IVF weight gain, getting back to my life will be pretty easy. It's what I spend the other non-sleeping, non-babywishing hours doing already. And honestly, I really don't think, or should I say, it's really not all that worth getting back to.
  6. We got our invite for our adoption group in May. Did I already mention that? Sorry if I did.
  7. I am so so very thankful for this community. I will expound more when I do my Sock-it-to-me post, but especially this past week, I have found comfort, peace and sisterhood here. I will never be able to thank you all enough.

Is it possible to get a negative HPT and a positive blood beta? If so, I'd probably not test before going to the doctor's. Hell, who am I kidding - I'd probably test anyway.

Shitfaced on green beer sounds like a terrific idea. I hope you get stuck watching everyone else getting shitfaced though. :) The wait is almost over! Thinking of you and sending you a giant ((HUG)).

Good for you for not POAS. Good luck on your beta.

Just wanted to send words of support-- I think the idea of going through "all of this for nothing" haunts many of us in many different ways. I wish you a great big positive so you can get on with it instead of back to it-- on to your next great adventure. Good luck, I am rooting for you!

Good luck tomorrow sweetie! I vote "no poas". You've waited this long - just a few more hours!
Hugs and kisses,
