Chicken Clucker


How am I? Well, it's funny that you should ask. :)

It depends on when you ask me. As in, if you ask me 10 minutes from now, or three hours ago, you might get three different answers.

Apparently the progesterone wasn't holding up on Thursday, what with the moving of furniture and all, because I started bleeding then, on my own. I did end up taking the misoprostol around 3PM just to make things move along and the worst of it was over by midnight. It was less traumatic than it was in January, I guess because I had some idea of what to expect and because it was just a lot faster and less painful. I am a lot less exhausted. Hopefully that's just a good thing and everything is ok. I'm sure they will make me get HCG tests to confirm the number gets to zero. I was a bit surprised they didn't do an ultrasound last time, so I assume they won't do one this time. I guess the HCG is enough for them.

Mentally, I go from just wanting to move on and not think about it, to being angry, to being complacent, and everywhere in between. I mean, I just can't believe this is MY story. I still hope that someday I will have a wonderful child in my arms and look back at all of this as a necessary evil, but right now it just is so not what I wanted for myself, my husband, or my marriage. It is the most inefficient, exasperating thing that I have ever been through.

I got the most wonderful package on Friday! It was PERFECT timing. It cheered me up! There really are still good people out there, because one of my bloggie friends sent me this:


I don't need the bullseye. I have launched them at the husband and the dogs, and I must say that I maybe missed my calling to be a sniper. Plus, those chickens really launch out of the chucker at a surprisingly fast speed! They are rather lethal! I think the strawberry wine I had helped me concentrate.
Thanks Rotten! You're the best!

I'm really sorry, PJ. I wish I knew the how/when/why of any of this fertility crap. Many hugs, hun. You should not have to go through all of this.

I'm so sorry for all you're going through. You are strong and amazing.

The doc I work for just had heart surgery. While he was recovering a g/f and I sent him a care package with a Cat-A-Pult in it - same as your chicken launcher but with plastic cats! :)

Lorraine said...

I want to be glad to hear that things weren't as bad as last time, but it all just sucks so much that looking on the bright side doesn't make much sense.

Love the chicken-launcher, though. If little plastic poultry can cheer you up I know you'll be okay. I hate that you have to even go through this again, though. I'll be thinking of you.

I've been thinking about you, PJ. I'm glad that physically speaking, the worst of it is behind you. Emotionally, I hope and pray that this is the lowest you'll ever have to go. Ever again. (((HUGS)))

I hope that someday this will all just be a big blur that fades into the background of the beautiful family you've been dreaming of. I really hope this for you, PJ.

Rotten said...

I am so glad you are having fun with it. It's hard not to smile when you are launching mini chickens... especially when you launch them at pup dogs. :)

sprogblogger said...

I hate that you're having to go through this again, but I love that you have a chicken-launcher to make the time pass faster. Thinking of you. I'm so very sorry.

Sarah said...

Nice chicken clucker!

I am sorry, so very sorry that you had to go through that again PJ, I wish I could take that away from you. Take care of yourself sweetie.

Hugs.

My heart really aches for you - this must be beyond anything you thought you'd ever face. You are a very, very strong person and are in my thoughts and prayers. Fire away, chicken clucker!

Chelle said...

I'm sorry that you are going through such a rough spot. It really does seem unfair and not right. I just pray too that one day you get to hold your child in your arms and realize this was all worth it.

The chicken clucker is hilarious. What a wonderful pick-me-up!

You really have been through a lot. . . I'm sorry you have had to.

And I do love the chicken chucker. I have a group of old friends from high school and we refer to ourselves as "chickens" (I can't even remember why). Nothing can cheer you up more than funny chicken props.

I'm thinking of you during this hard time.

Jendeis said...

Been thinking about you.

Love the chicken chucker. Pure awesome.

KimboSue said...

You have been through so much and are stronger for it. You are an amazing woman.

Chicken Chucker is awesome!
(And mmm...we are currently brewing some homemade Strawberry White Merlot - email me your address and maybe you'll "win" a bottle or 2!)

meinsideout said...

I am really sorry. I am glad for you that the physical piece went quickly.

Chelle said...

PJ, I wish you didn't have to go through any of this. I wish this WASN'T your story.

You are so very strong. I'm glad that physically, the worst is over.

The chicken launcher is awesome!

Shinejil said...

I am really, really glad that you didn't have as much pain and suffering this time around (not that things sound at all easy, but hopefully you get my drift). You've got enough to deal with without that.

Sending hugs and cheers for your fast flying chickens.

Io said...

I'm so glad you got a chicken chucker so that during the angry moments you can chuck chickens. I hope that helps those moments transition to you feeling better. Someday you will sit with your child and think about chucking chickens.
okay, I want to say it one more time. chucking chicken. chicken chucker

Lea said...

Thinking of you.
