Frustrating Stories

  • How do I deal?

    Monday, March 10, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I have wanted a baby since I was a small child. What little girl doesn't play with her baby dolls and dream of someday being a Mommy for real?
    When that STUPID doctor told me, in 1999 (considering I had been ttc and had fertility drugs since 1988), that I had a 0% chance of ever getting PG, my heart was broken.
    When I miscarried in Sept '06 at 14 weeks, I had no clue I was even PG. Well, no...

  • More Loss

    Friday, June 13, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well, I got the call back from the RE.  It seems that my body has done this naturally and my levels are low enough that I will not need a D & C.  I know I should be very grateful for that.
    So why am I crying?  I can not help but to be very sad.  I am not able to go back on Clomid this month because it did not drop down quite enough.  I feel like on top of the loss...

  • Oh, how I miss you guys.

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Hey everyone -
    It's been a while since I posted, and I apologize for that. I have tried so hard to make the time, and then just as I'm gearing up to write, I get pulled away.  Work at DS has been absolutely crazy in the last few months, and I don't have a second from the minute I wake up until midnight to even talk to the folks that make DS such a special place.
    Anyway, here's...

  • Really?

    Monday, September 15, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I am perplexed and a little annoyed.  I have spent all weekend waiting for AF's.  BFN on Thursday meant it is inevitable.  I was due Saturday.  OK, maybe Sunday.  Monday morning at the latest.  What the ....?  I feel like I am being tested.  DH left this morning for the entire week, so I am on my own for this one. 
    I am trying not to get my hopes u...

    Thursday, October 30, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    OK.... so I didn't surge today. 
    Guess that means no IUI tomorrow. 
    Ummmmmmm.......
    I called the doctor's office and the receptionist said I could chose to come in for blood work and u/s to see what is going on.  Either I will have missed ovulation and that would mean no IUI, or it hasn't happened yet and that would mean no insurance coverage for the blood work and u/s.&...

  • Holding On -- For Now

    Tuesday, May 5, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Follie count today.  I am a tad frustrated.  It seems like not much has been going smoothly for me lately.  Everything is a battle.  LOL, the phlebotmist didn't even show this morning so nurse on staff did my blood draw (after a 20 minute wait, not to mention the time it took her to actually find a vein).  Am I not putting enough good karma out there?
    This month I had ...

  • Now You See Her, Now You Don't...

    Sunday, July 19, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Last night I had my great-big-ugly-therapeutic cry.  I just let it ALL out.  I mean all of it.  My poor husband had no idea what to do, so he just ended up holding me until the early hours of the morning.
    Then when I woke up AF had completely stopped!  Not a drop, anywhere.  I still felt really crampy and like she was just sitting there waiting, but I didn't call ...
