So I' having a bad day today. I hate Monday's to begin with. But today has been hard. (Hope you ladies don't mind if I vent a lil.....)

Well for starters, Ottie has discovered his voice and barks 24/7....and he likes to bite. Grrr it's frustrating.

Second, I went to the passport place to get my passport in my new married last name and the lady was a witch with a B. (and she was pregnant!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) She was soooooooooooooo mean. I left in tears!!!

I was on facebook and found out about this girl I went ot middle school with and did gymnastics with just had a baby. She's not married and single. (wasn't trying and here we are trying so hard and wanting to be a family so badly and everyone else around us gets "accidentally" knocked up.) It just really hurts me.

Thirdly, I've just been having a hard time. I've been super irritable and emotional. I've been having cramping off and on and I really think and feel AF is coming. I really really don't want her too obviously. I want a BFP. I don't want to go on to cycle #19 or month #15.

Lastly, I've been a lil stressed/worried because of DH's job. He applied for a job in London, UK. And we're praying he gets it. It'd be awesome hours 9:30 - 5:30 M-F instead of 9-10pm M-S. It'd be great pay and he'd get 2 weeks off for Christmas, a week for Easter and 10 other vacation days. And if he works over time, instead of overtime pay he'd get vacation days! Currently he has none of that. No vacation days. The studio only closed for one day- Christmas day. That's it! They always work on holidays and weekends. His BF lives there with his wife and baby boy- so I'd have someone to hang out with! (the down side is we'd have to leave Ottie behind )

Our rent here ends May 31. So if London goes through then I need to start packing up our place. We'd be putting everythign in storage here and driving back to TX and FL to visit our families before we'd fly to London. So the thoguth of packing and moving and a big change is a lil bit stressful. And DH working 24/7 is a lil difficult too. I really need him at times like this, but he can't be home. Which is a main reason he applied in London. So we can spend more time togehter

I am trying not to think of the future, but it's a lil difficult, mainly with such a possible BIG move in a month or so. And a long road trip from CA to FL on top of that, packing, trying to get pregnant and dealing with these crazy emotions. And if we're not pregnant this cycle next cycle would be our last chance with the meds/RE, if we would be moving overseas. If next cycle doesn't work either we'd be on a flight to the UK. Infertility treatment over there is difficult....yes some is free, but there's a LONG waiting list. I honestly can't wait much longer, the urge and desire gets stronger each cycle and the emotions get harder with each AF/BFN. Then there's the option of paying out of pocket for private infertility treatment, which would mean, going through the whole infertility doc process again. Basically starting all over. (I don't think my curent reconds would work there since a different country and stuff) So there'd be many fees we'd have to pay and tests we'd have to go through that we already have done...such as New patient fee, blood work fees, S/A fee, meds, U/S, each visit fee, IUI or IVF. So that would probably mean, waiting a month + to get in for a new patient visit, then another cycle for procedures/bloodwork and testing and then maybe another cycle for an ultrasound and then another till treatment. And that's so long to be waiting. It was SOOOOOO hard for me when we want to wait from Jan till April for the fertility meds. It was torture. There is no way I can wait that long again. We want to be pregnant already. (which was another factor we wanted to happen before we would move to London, to make it an easier transition for us. Cause we know it'd be hard for me to see Dh's bf son.

I was pretty positive about this cycle before, since I had the meds (was on a higher than normal dose too) and we BD every other day, pretty good timing I think. So I thought and was hoping that it'd work the first time. But lately I've jsut not been feeling it. I've been sooo down. I feel and think AF is coming and that's the last thing I want. She's the last thing I wanna see. I really want to be pregnant. (we were hoping we'd be pregnant so for our road trip, I'd be like 7.5 weeks along, we decided we'd want to after 6 weeks to make the announcement. And it'd be fun to do it in person to our families. Especially with my SIL accidentally pregnant again, she's 9 weeks along and has a 6 month old! (so she got pregnant when my nephew was 4 months) I wish I could be a fertile myrtle like that!! I'd give anything to have babies, be pregnant and be a mommy and a family. This is not getting easier, only harder. I don't know how much more I can take I'm aching inside. Is being pregnant to much to ask for??? I didn't think so. Why am I fertility challenged??

Sorry for the lengthy ramble.
I'm just sooooooo emotional right now. I'm in tears. They won't stop, just like the heartache and pain. I'm just having a very bad/hard day/time. I really wish DH was home. I hate Mondays and I hate being infertile and not pregnant.

But on a good note- Jamie and I are hanging out tomorrow~!! And I'm so excited to go shopping and hang with her!! We'll post pics!!

Lindsey. I hope you guys find out news on the job soon. I know how stressful it can be to have all that up in the air. I am also praying that this is your month. It would be perfect if you guys got a BFP, and DH got the new job. It would just be wonderful going to visit your family and tell them the good news in person.

Good luck and hang in there.....hopefully it will happen.

thanks.
I mentioned that above, that if he gets the job we'll probably leave him with my parents in Fl. (they already have a yorkie so I think it'd be nice for Ottie to have another yorkie to play/hang with) Pending how long we'll be there we may ship him over there, but it's realllly $$$$$. So I doubt we'd have extra money to bring him there and back whenever we came back. So that's one of the main/sad issues.

Sorry you're feeling so down, Lindsey. I hope that the London job works out for your DH. It sounds like it would be a good situation for you both. And I'm sure Ottie would have fun at his new home too. But more than that, I hope you get your BFP soon. With the Femara, hopefully you will get to see one in the next couple of months (if not this one).

Lindsey i am so sorry I am glad i get to see you tomorrow. It will be good to get out and talk. I wil try to get your mind off things!!

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I am really praying for you. It gets hard though i understand that. Anything bad or stressful thats added to not being able to conceive just makes life suck. Try to keep your head up and know that you have a wonderful life ahead of you.

What are you going to do with otis if you move?

Awww thank you so much Jamielynn!! Can't wait for tomorrow, I need it! We'll probably leave him with my family, they have a yorkie so I think they'd get along and stuff. Pending how long we'll be there we may ship him over there, but it's realllly $$$$$. So I doubt we'd have extra money to bring him there and back whenever we came back. So that's one of the main/sad issues.

Thanks April!

I've been scaring my DH lately. I can't think, I forget things. I loose things. It's sooooo NOT like me. DH relies on me for stuff too. Then later I find the lost things in weird spots. I can't talk either. I'm like retarded. DH will tell me something and I'll hear something completely different. It's soooooooooooooooo weird! I've never been like this. isn't this a prego symptom?? I hope!

Stalking you Linds

I just wanted to give you big Where are you at in your cycle right now? When is AF due?

I'm sorry that DH is working so much, I know its hard, especially when you need him in moments like this. It sounds like London would be amazing, and I do think you could transfer over your medical documents over there so you could go straight back into your normal treatment....if you needed it, which hopefully you wouldn't.

I hope you start feeling a little better, and I'm praying that this is your cycle. Luvs & hugs!

Thanks for stalking me Breanna~!

I'm on CD 24. (my cycles range from 23-26) So AF is either a day late or due in 2. Not quite sure when I o'd due to the Femara and I didn't temp/opk. I think I'm either 9 or 11 DPO.

Thanks, I guess I could ask for my records from the RE, if we don't get lucky this cycle. THanks for the prayers, luvs and hugs!

I'm sorry you are having a bad day. Hope it gets better.

I'm sad you are thinking about giving Otis to your relatives... however please research into international pet flight. Since Otis is pretty small he can go on the plane with you if you use small crate. It's cheaper that way than the other alternative way where they put the pet under the plane. I know some people moved overseas with their pets and made it just fine and saved money to fly them. I would hate to see you apart from Otis this soon and it isn't fair to the dog.
As you can see I'm a huge animal lover. I hate to see this happen.

good luck!!

Thanks Aaron, but I have researched it. I've researched everything. The rules/laws for pets into the UK are strict and hard. Harder than any other country. You cannot fly to the UK with your pet on the plane, if you did they'd be quarantined for 6 months. Or You'd have to do pet relocation service which is about $2000. We can't afford that one way there and one way back. We don't know how long we'd be there anyways and nothing is def. anyways. Believe me we'd miss him and the timing is hard/bad with just getting him, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My sister would love to have another puppy. But if we could afford it we'd take him. And all the housing we're looking at don't allow pets. So yea it's unforunate and diffcult. Believe me I'm an animal lover too, but we have to do what's best, right and cost effect for everyone.

Lindsey it hurts me to see you going through this.

Just take it one step at a time okay? First off I hope this IS your month. And if it's not, something will work out. Either you'll get pg before going to London or you'll find a way to transfer your medical records etc and get help over there.

It WILL happen and I do hope that it happens soon for you. I know there are days like today where you just can't hardly stand it because you are so sick and tired of waiting. Believe me, I know.
