April Fools! Sike.

I should have wrote this post the day it happened...April Fools Day. I've been so incredibly busy. I started my own photography business earlier this year (outside of my career as a nurse) and I'm loving every minute of it! I will save that for another post!

Anyway, my nurse called me on 4/1 to inform me that the other couple in our split donor cycle has not started their period yet.

Blink. Blink.

Wha...wha...what??? For once my body is cooperating perfectly, and the other couple is screwing everything up! To put things into perspective, she should have started her period with me back on 3/20. Marvelous. Sooo, the only information given to me was that she was symptomatic and should be starting soon. First question..."Is the heffa pregnant?" Answer...No.

The donor and I have been placed in a "holding pattern" until the little miss catches up with us. The donor will now start stims on 4/18 instead of 4/4, and her retrieval will now be 4/30 instead of 4/16. Just another little annoying bump in the road.

I did have another ultrasound on 4/4 which revealed a perfect uterus with a nice plump lining of 11.2mm, and no cysts! I will continue Lupron injections everyday, and I am up to two estrogen tablets three times daily. I was concerned that feeding my lining for another month would make it start growing out of my vajayjay, but she assured me that they have it under control and that my uterus will be just fine.

Now for a little venting session. I really really wanted to keep this cycle a secret from the majority for our own self preservation. It is just too emotionally draining to explain all of this complicated nonsense to everyone. However, a disgruntled, emotionally abusive, and hostile a$$wipe that I work with has caused some commotion at work because some of us "take advantage of our boss" and "come and go as we please". This all starting occurring when I "snuck" in late after one of my morning doctor appointments. Now, my boss has been moved to another office and I have to start all over and explain why I need spur of the moment days off to my new boss. It may not seem like a big deal, but thinking about having to go tell her is about to give me a panic attack and that is the last thing I need right now. Legally, I know that all I have to tell her is that it's medical and then I wouldn't have to give any further information.

But seriously? Scenario: Imagine having to go to someone you barely know and tell them that you need off, but you don't know when. Or for how long. You can't tell them why you need off, and if it's a day when someone else is already off you have to have off as well because it's not an option. Then they have to find someone to work in your place at the very last minute. But nobody knows why. If they can't find a fill-in, then they are shorthanded and have a crazy day. After awhile, people start talking, wondering, getting pissed off, and starting rumors. Then you have to go back to work and act like nothing is going on. It's starting to become more stressful to lie about it than it would be to just be honest with people. I just wish that the disgruntled "It" who caused this unnecessary stress would go elsewhere. I mean, why work somewhere when you absolutely hate your job and just show up to slam and throw things around all day, verbally abuse your coworkers, and make everyone else miserable? Negative people are so toxic to the environment. Grrrr.

And now, I leave you on a more joyful note...a glimpse into the life of Andy and Jessica. Here are a couple of pictures taken by Andy while goofing off in the exam room. One time he even got away with a disposable speculum. I can't take him anywhere.  

Warning: If you are easily offended, don't go any further. Heck, for that matter, you probably shouldn't read my blog at all! ;) 

I'm so classy.

Meet Mr. Dildo Cam...an infertile's sugar daddy. I've been out on about 5937492863476 dates with him! At about $300 bucks a pop, I should be his sugar mama!

I also want to give a HUGE CONGRATS to my blog friend Melissa who just found out she is preggo after her 1st IVF cycle!!! I met her when I first started blogging, so we have shared a good portion of this journey together. Out of all of my original blog friends, she and I were the only ones still hanging. She has been incredibly supportive and I can't think of anyone more deserving of this! Please check out her blog, Banking On It...she's an awesome writer:)
