Countdown is on to retrieval!
I had my first sono/bloodwork at the RE today since starting my Mini-IVF meds. So far, I'm doing pretty well, I had 3 follies today and my bloodwork came back good. I go back Weds for monitoring, and the soonest we'll do retrieval is next Saturday, maybe later. The appt took longer than expected, so it sorta screwed up DH and my day (what's new, IF always has a way of creeping in and ruining things) so DH and I had a little fight. I said how much I hate that IF screws with us, and takes so much from us when there are so many women who only need to look at a penis and somehow wind up pregnant. Well my normally supportive DH snapped back at me and was like, you sound so bitter, you shouldn't be, what do you expect, you are 43 afterall!!! OMG I nearly punched him!!! Like I need a f'ing reminder!!!?!??!!
Anyway, that's where I am today. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and as always, doing ok wherever you are in this journey.

Ugh. I\'m sorry DH had a lapse in his normally supportive approach. Sometimes DH just doesn\'t get it. When AF shows, and she always does, sometimes I\'m reduced to a puddle of the ugly crying with snot bubbles etc and DH is completely silent because he \"doesn\'t understand\". I have no clue how they can be completely along on this journey, but don\'t seem AS affected by it like we are. I hope he bumps up his sensitivity and support for you :D
Enjoy the remainder of the weekend B-)
Ugh sorry for his moment of stupid but he will come back around. I bet he regretted it the moment it flooded out---word vomit. Good luck with the ER.
Thanks for checking in today. Yep, was pretty upset after my BFN but we\'re starting IVF #2 and I\'m trying to be positive. Got in a huge fight today also with DH. He just doesn\'t get it. I just feel like I\'m going through this alone sometimes because he just doesn\'t show any emotion one way or another about this. It sucks how much it messes with your relationship!! Glad you\'re moving along well with IVF and wishing you the best of luck :)
Can I punch your DH on behalf of all of us 43 year olds ??? Lol. Been there heard that and definitely have had my share of IF based arguments with DH. IF brings out the stupid gene in all men so get used to it. Lol. Hoping you get through the next week with little drama and move on to kick IF in the ass. Show them what a 43 year old can do!!!! Xo
Oh I think 3 is a great number for a mini cycle. I\'m sure this will finally be your time to get good news. I\'m sorry about DH. Men don\'t know how to deal with IF and when you put in the hole IVF process they are clueless. I\'m sure he\'ll get back to his normal supportive self soon.
I really hope you are going ok with the meds. I know you were scared about this process. I hope it\'s not as bad as you thought.
Hugs
Ha! dH and I fought this weekend too. He said he liked me more when I was more fun. Then was all \'oh, I am so sorry\' I was like \'I know I am boring! Tell me something I don\'t know.\' I say the same thing to your DH: tell me something I don\'t know. Bitter? Hell yay, anyone with a failed IVF is bitter damn it. 43? Whatever. Yes, you are. With an insensitive DH with a small penis? Yup, looks like that is true too. ;-) ok, maybe not the penis part, I wouldn\'t know.
Agree with DC, show hi what a 43 year old can do. Hang in there.
Damn auto correct. So him what a 43 year old can do. :-)
Ugh, I am so sorry about the fight with your DH. Men, they can never truly understand. My DH has insensitive moments too, they all do. Hang in there
On a happy note, yeah! Three follies :). Your on your way and retrieval will be soon. I am excited for you and hoping this is it!
I am so excited for you! I know you have been through a lot to get here! Sorry that DH had to be so insensitive, so frustrating when they don\'t think about what they are saying and how it affects you. I am sending positive thoughts you way for Wed!
Glad to hear the mini IVF is going well so far. Sorry DH was insensitive. They don\'t get it. They just don\'t get it.....that\'s why you have us :)
Glad to hear the mini is going well I think three follies is excellent! DH will come around - as qb said it was his moment of stupid. Rooting for you!
How exciting 3 follies!! Can\'t wait to hear your next update, sorry about DH reaction. Hang in there!!
Men.
Glad you got 3! Wishing you luck in this cycle!
YAY for 3 follies and best of luck in your Mini-IVF :-)
Men can be insensitve, hopefully he was caught in the moment and didn\'t realize what he said and has apologized to you since!! HUGS. You got this!
Thanks, everyone! Things are ok with DH now and I\'m trying to focus on my 3 follies and praying for good results at ER time :)
