Insanity

Albert Einstein said this about insanity, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I think that describes TTC perfectly and therefore I am certain I am insane.  Join me in the madness.

Mild Cramping

Above is the actual discharge notes given to me Friday following my cyst aspiration.  Seriously?  I don't know what dictionary they are getting their definition of mild from, but it certainly isn't the same one I use.

I went in to have 2 chocolate cysts aspirated and ended up having 5 aspirated from the same ovary!!! It's like a BONUS!  Hahaha, like a really nasty bonus!

It REALLY REALLY REALLY hurts. My lap didn't hurt this bad and I had stage 3 endo! 

Here's Your Sign

I just know I'm pregnant!  Want to know what my first sign was?  Chipped Fingernail Polish...yup!  I know it sounds strange, but as soon as I saw my nails all chipped like that I just KNEW it was a sign.  I mean my nails NEVER chip, EVER!  I'm sure it is a sign, like all those hormones are making my nails weird so they won't hold onto nail polish anymore.  Strange thing is, I haven't even had sex this month so it's like a total miracle!  Okay, I'm off to write this in my baby book now.  I think I will name my baby after the nail polish...China Glaze.  :)

And if you are still reading this and looking at your own nails and wondering if you could in fact be pregnant please see a professional...you need help!  LMAO!

The Facebook Fertility Conspiracy

So I think Facebook is a conspiracy.  All the fertile people got together and decided to start a social network in which they (the fertile people) could brag about their fertile exploits.  Oh, yes, it's true...a meeting was held and it was decided that as soon as you POAS and get two lines you MUST post it to facebook IMMEDIATELY.  Then shortly after you are CONTRACTUALLY obligated to upload the ultrasound pictures and use one of them as your profile picture.  Of course then you must also post status updates daily about how wonderful it is to be pregnant and how excited you are and brag about your total lack of morning sickness.

Once the sex of the child is determined it is imperative that you announce it at once, and then have lots of conversations regarding the best name for said child...or...and this is just for funsies...go ahead and announce the name of the child when you announce the sex.  Then in the next few days upload all the pictures of the stuff you bought for the nursery and the name of the preschool you enrolled them in.

Oh yes...and once they are born you MUST (no negotiating this point) upload pictures within minutes of the birth with the height, weight, birth time, etc.  Please make sure you also add that you are glowing and are so freaking happy you could burst.

Then in the years to follow please oh please blog daily about how much you love your children and what a blessing it is to be able to stay home with them full time while still being able to buy designer clothes, have a manicure/pedicure weekly, and get a boob job that you brag about often.

 Yes, Facebook is a conspiracy against the infertile.

Say Hello to my Little Cysts

Here they are...oh yeah...the two little cysts causing me all sorts of pain.  

The pink outline is the ovary, the dark spots are the chocolate cysts, and that small area around them is what is left of that ovary that can produce eggs.  Not much left.  

Stupid endometriosis! Grrrrr!
