been so long i practically forgot my password

Dear Internet Peoples -

I am sorry. It's been a long time, I know. I have some reasons/excuses but none of them are really good so I'm not going to bother with them here.

The scoop? YOU HAVEN'T MISSED A DAMN THING! The last time we actually had any encounter with Monty McSteamy's umm... impregnating fluid? was back in early April. Yes, it is now August. We've been on "Operation Plan B - pass the Baton" since Jan of this year and we've inseminated oooooh... let me get out my fingers to count... oh wait, yes... that's it... JUST ONCE! bummer, huh? To recap - there was the Femura. Then the bleeding. The cramping. The shocking multitude of menstrual cycles packed into a few short months. and lastly the Ovarian Cysts that all collectively were a side affect of the Femura. We've kicked the Femura to the curb now, needless to say but surprisingly AGAINST their recommendation. Really? You think?

A month ago Drake came home from work and informed me that she had just peed on a stick and it was time but the clinic had already closed for the evening and so we needed to leave a voicemail for them that we wanted to come in for a squirt the next morning and to please call when they opened. and like good little fertility medical facilitators, they did call. they called at my most lively hour of 7:00AM on a Saturday morning and proceeded to argue with drake on the phone about why they wouldn't let us come in and get inseminated that day. First - Drake had had a minor and unrelated surgery about a week prior to this event. She claimed that she was perfectly fine and capable of lying on a metal plank with her feet in stirrups but they feared that there may still be traces of anaesthesia in her system. A week later? For reals??? Secondly - and this is our fault - we sort of blew off the appointment we were supposed to make to ensure that the cysts had gone away. It was a busy time. We had family in town, yada yada yada... big mistake there. And that brings us up to the present date. Drake's playing at fertile myrtl again and we're going in tomorrow at 8am to get an ultrasound and measure the eggs. We're already at day 16 or so so I'm really really really really just sorta kinda hoping that something is mature, that there is not another anovulatory cycle to contend with, and that we can get our little LH shot and inseminate on Sunday as if the world were suddenly back in balance and things went right for us. Wouldn't that be something! Gosh - I find myself humming Mary Poppins tunes just thinking about it! So... perhaps I'll have something to rant about here again in the coming days. If there are more issues, I may actually just jump off the internet cliff and shut up for a while again because nobody wants to read the word FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKK over and over and over again but well... you see... I may have temporarily lost my positive attitude but I remain hopeful. just a smidge.
