IVF #2 is proving to be rough. I don’t know if it’s because of the drugs or
because of the emotions involved. I’m
thinking it’s more of the latter.
On Sunday, I burst into tears at the grocery store for no apparent
reason. When I got home, I burst into
tears again over bursting into tears at the store. Last night, I had the giggles and the sense
of humor of a 6th grade boy.
I was turning anything and everything I heard on TV into a double
entendre and laughing my head off at how funny I was. J was just laughing at me laughing. The jokes were really not funny. Today, I am so freakin’ crabby that I don’t
even want to be around myself. I have
gone into the bathroom to cry a few times.
Just little tears, no ugly crying.
An example of my ugliness? It is
my research day and one of my coworkers suggested I see one of her patients for
her. It took everything I had not to go
into a raging “DON’T TAKE MY RESEARCH TIME FROM ME YOU EVIL BITCH” fit. She really thought she was doing me a favor. There was no bitch intent.
Physically, I’ve managed to get a bruise in every injection
spot. Sunday night, I bolted up in bed
at 5 AM to throw up and eventually woke up with a raging headache and the shakes. Methinks the physical stuff is because I got
a bit cocky since things went so smoothly last round and didn’t drink the water
I should have. Yesterday I substituted a
bottle with Gatorade and have been feeling fine since.
But it gets worse, friends.
It gets worse. Last night, I had
dinner with a lovely single friend. She
has the worst luck finding men. She was
asking if I had run into anyone worth setting her up with lately, and all I
could think of were the two fellows at my clinic. She works for the same hospital, they are really
nice guys – it would be perfect! Very
obnoxious of me, right? Now, I have no
idea if these guys are single or not and have no idea how to find out. There really is no opportune moment or good
way to ask when they are all up in your lady parts. When the IVF nurse called to confirm my
appointment today, I thought about asking her.
Then I thought the best bet might be to ask one of the CMAs when they
are doing a blood draw. They’d probably
just laugh at me. What do you
think? To obnoxious or do I play
matchmaker?

HAHAHA I can imagine the conversation, with your feet in stirrups, "by the way, are you single?" Awesome. I'm not sure how to go about that one..! If you do it, would you please please please write about how it goes? :D
ReplyDeleteHopefully these are just the beginning of many more mood swings to come...and I mean that in the nicest way possible :) I really hope this is the cycle that you get you BFP!! Also, play matchmaker, I totally would!
ReplyDeleteI'm all for matchmaking! And if it all goes terribly wrong, just blame it on the hormones.
ReplyDeleteAll the comments are awesome! Ditto on all of them.
ReplyDeleteI am a basket-case this time around - I am not even kidding you. A complete freaking mess. What is it about round 2?
ReplyDeletethinking of you and hope the side-effects calm down soon x
