I'm glad you have a plan.
H and I just got back from our cruise. We were in St. Thomas for one day (it's Zika infected) but luckily neither of us got any bug bites. We checked very carefully. My doctor said to wait a month, and then we can start TTC. We both react strongly to bug bites, so I feel a bit more comfortable knowing we didn't get any.
We should be able to get in a few months of trying before we stop and wait a few months because of the timing of BILs wedding. And then we'd go back to trying after a few months. It's scary because this was the "last big thing" we were going to do before TTC and now it's over and there's nothing else in our way. Scary, but awesome all at the same time!

I'm sorry susanm. That sounds really shitty and I'm sorry both of you had to go through that. Don't feel silly about venting here <3

OH HI.
I haven't checked in. Like a dick.
I finally got my first "high" on the monitor today, so that was exciting! Looks like we might make it in before the shut down. We had our nurse talk this morning, wrote the check without fainting, and ordered meds, so we're ready to roll!

susanm ((hugs)) I know the feeling. It took me 9 months to get pregnant. And it was the month of or the month after I got my blood work done to see why I was having a hard time getting pregnant. I have been told oh that is not the long to get pregnant, etc. etc. Yeah I know that, but it doesn't help when I am around a lot of people who got pregnant by accident or got pregnant the first month they tried. eba1012 - It is understandable about the child care cost. Ours is almost as much as our mortgage. It is crazy.

"When are you going to have kids?" Is one of the rudest questions in the English language. Hope the RE can give you some guidance susanmI also O'ed yesterday. Looks like we'll make it in time for another treatment before the shut down.

Also, I just ordered my meds. Woof. They'll be here next week. Actually a much lower price tag (By at least $1000) than last time because I had one Gonal-F pen left. None of them would expire any time soon with the exception of the Micro HcG. However, if we don't make it this month, it's worth the risk to make sure I have it.
Also I feel KIND OF like a doofus because the nurse was going to order me one type of holding drug. I asked for the other one, because the one she wanted to order was one that you have to mix yourself... really, it's powder and you just have to shoot saline into the bottle and then draw it up. So.. not complicated at all. But I wanted the premixed to be safe to make sure I didn't fuck it up.. the premixed are $40 more. Per. And I had to get 6 of them. Oops.

H knew better than to ask a woman if she was pregnant, but he couldn't understand why I was all offended and riled up by people asking when we'd be having kids, were we having kids, etc. I also told him it did depend on context and who was asking (i.e. one of our close friends asking 'so are you guys interested in having kids' is totally different than co-worker saying "when are you having kids" or anyone saying "You've been together x years, time for you to have kids" or "Better have those kids soon." H didn't get this either. He, king of the "well, they meant well." Noooope, doesn't matter. Yes, these people cared about me/us, though I/we would be good parents, knew we wanted kids, and hoped to see us have kids. But I still couldn't answer "when ya having kids?!?" because that answer is not always within my control. So I always said "if the lawd's willin' and the crick don't rise!" as people awkwardly smiled, wondering if I'd lost my mind. Best answer ever.

LMC and susanm glad to hear you're both moving forward despite all your struggles. Rooting for you! @rajahbmfd GL to you too! So a woman I knew from school just got married last weekend and she posted her wedding video on FB. No fewer than 3 people pressured them to have kids in the video, including the officiant, the best man, and the mother of the groom. I happen to know that this woman cannot have biological children and I cringed the whole way through the video, especially when everyone went "awwww" when the mother of the groom wished them a "happy future full of lots and lots of babies".

I guess some people can't let go of the old-fashioned idea of a marriage as a commandment to go forth and procreate.
I'm astonished at the number of people whose response to my pregnancy announcement was "oh of course we expected that soon because you just got married". I'm like NO, you did not "expect" and such thing from me, and you shouldn't from any other newlyweds either.

Growing up, I was taught not to ask people able babies. My parents tried for 10 years to have kids before they adopted me and then my sister. So my mom was always really sensitive of people struggling because she was there herself for 10 years. I never knew that people were so insensitive until I got older. And once I got married and people started saying shit to me.

I am now even more happy that the only speech at my wedding was the one H gave.

So my mom was always really sensitive of people struggling because she was there herself for 10 years. I never knew that people were so insensitive until I got older. And once I got married and people started saying shit to me. I had a similar experience when my parents separated and later divorced. Growing up, if people said, "My mom lives here, and my dad lives here," I'd just assume divorce/separation, and leave it at that. I had no idea other people would ask follow-up questions until I was in that position. "Oh, are your parents separated." "Yep." "For how long?" "Two weeks." That shuts them up. It just always struck me as basic human sensitivity. I don't understand why some people feel the incessant need to inquire about other people's personal matters. My parents divorced when I was 10. I'm now 38, and I STILL get people who give me these looks of pity when it comes up in conversation. I'm like, um... it's been almost 30 years. I'm over it. Plus, like 50% of the world has divorced parents!
