Oh No She Didn't...

fall off the face of the earth.



Just not much is going on in the uterus of PJ.

Plus I've had serious Internet issues. As in, everything electronic that I've touched lately has gone foul. I'm in shock and awe that my Internet is working today. I was about to call the Geek Squad yesterday, and I think I still might.

Ahem, after my long weekend to Cleveland to see Mr. PJ's fam. I am sure it will entail some conversation about my uterus, which I am not happy about, but I also know it will probably entail some alcohol and laughing and probably hiccups (because I almost always hiccup when I drink and laugh). And, that's always fun!

Seriously though, I'm excited about getting the hell outta Dodge.

Nurse First Fiddle called today to give me the game plan for next time, um... which is a lot sooner than I'd thought and so it will maybe or maybe not happen. Looks like early September to me, but I suppose that will work. Although it sucks to take off work early in the school year I guess this is a priority.

Bossman: Here PJ, here's your new students. Fill their heads with knowledge, ok?

Moi: Um, yes. Hey, I need a couple of days off, like now. And do you mind if I come in an hour late on some random days. Thanks! You're swell, boss!


The nurse had no startling revelations about what they are going to do different this time (because after all, I stimmed well on that Antagonist/estrogen priming protocol) and it's really the after I GET pregnant part that I'm stuck on now. So, it sounds like the current solution is to have me go see Dr. unbelieveablylongname (hemotologist) on Tuesday who will likely put me on blood thinners when/if I do get pregnant. Alrighty then.

Sound like a shot in the dark???

Don't know if I should insist on a long conversation with the RE or just let live. I'm sure Mr. PJ will have an opinion.

Off to frolic with some funlovin' yankees. :)

Good to see your post... I'm not giving up for you. I have a friend with two m/c and blood thinner did the trick. We may be cycling together. After 10 yrs of IF (long story, of course...) IVF #1 coming in Sept.

Hugs, girl and drink and hiccup and try to enjoy Mr. PJ's family and time away from IF and treatment :-)

I hope there is a lot of alcohol and laughter and not so much conversation about your uterus!
September will be here before you know it. I can't believe it's the middle of July already - what the heck, where is my summer going?!

Peeveme said...

Yes, take a much deserved break from IVF. Then hit it hard in Sept. Hope the blood thinners do the trick.

Infertility is Hard said...

Enjoy your trip to see Mr. PJ's family. I'm glad they are starting you up without too long of a wait. :-D

It's all about shots in the dark, it seems, so why not? :)

Have a tipsy blast in Cleveland!

I hope you get a nice break from the IVF, enjoy some coctails and laughter!!! Also - I'll be honest, after a ton of fertility treatments and lots of time on the boards, everyone who does it over and over again and is persistent and willing to do their own research gets pregnant and has a baby eventually. (of course, once in a while it is with donor eggs, but that is usually later in the game). Its just that getting back on the horse thing. I'm glad you have a plan and will be looking into the blood thinners too!

Have a nice time!

hey hey hey...shot in the dark maybe. My RE never tested me for any clotting disorders or whatever - low and behold so it reared it's ugly head while I was pregnant. I still have no definitive diagnosis, sometimes I test positive, sometimes I don't...I guess what I am trying to say is the hematologist stuff can't hurt, it might be something underlying...

Have fun up North! Everywhere is "North" of me in Texas! Try not to talk about your uterus too much. That always kills a good buzz you know...
Your boss was cool with it last year, he'll do it again - no sweat.

Oh and glad you're back...at least for a minute!

Chelle said...

Have fun drinking and hiccuping (which is too cute, btw)! I really, really, really hope the blood thinners are what makes the difference.

I'm a teacher too, so I know how hard it is to take off random hours and days, especially when it's the start of the year. Have you been able to have an upfront, honest conversation with your principal about what's going on? When I was going through treatments, I never did have that conversation and just ended up being really evasive. My principal was an untrustworthy gossip, and I didn't trust her at all! It was all super stressful each hour I missed. The worst was when she asked me point blank why I had so many doctors appointments. When I dodged the question, she had the nerve to ask me if I was pregnant (I was NOT). That really hit a raw nerve, especially since half the female faculty WAS pregnant that year. Not my best year in teaching... We ended up having our first successful cycle as soon as school got out for the summer-- go figure! Anyway, a friend at another school did tell her principal what was going on when she was going through treatments, and it helped keep her stress levels about things a bit lower. I hope your principal is as kind as hers.
