I'm sorry I'm going to start judging NOW.
Unemployed.
Unmarried.
14 children all under the age of 8.
How does she plan on supporting her children? Besides asking the Government for money.
I'm not judgoing the mother and her need to be a mother...Really. Everyone going through infertility wants to be a mother.
But by george someone has to be responsible.
You'd be hard pressed to find a Fertility Dr in Canada that would transfer 8 embryos (usually they only do 2-3)...And she got them transferred because she was born to be a mother?
From where I'm peering in, there seems a to be whole lot of irresponsibility with ALL parties involved.
Maybe the mother has some mental health issues? We obviously know the Dr does.
Hey Doctor NoName - Maybe you could pay to support the mother and her litter.

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it
FINALLY had the consult with the fertility clinic here in the hometown. YEAH!
It went really well. Like all of these consults. Tell them our life story:
Age?, Drugs?, Alcohol?, Last period?, health problems?, pregnant before?, fathered a child before?, how long TTC?, history, etc...
Measured height, measured weight. Last time I had a PAP was 13 months ago....
Here's the blood work we want you both to get done, H we need a sperm sample next week to see if you have any antibodies, W I can get you in right now to do a PAP, we'll have a nurse come in and teach you our process for IUI.
Legs- NOT shaved, Private area - NOT shaved. Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd...My first time in 15 years of having PAP's that I'm not shaved ANYwhere down there. Breathe.
It wasn't Chewbacca or anything down there, just totally not the point.
Breathe. Make fun of the situation with the Dr. Lighten things up. Done.
After consulting with the DR, this what we came up with:
1: Wait for AF
2. Month Feb - Try IUI without drugs
3. Month Mar (if needed) try IUI with injectibles ($1000-$4000)
4. If that fails, proceed to IVF.
Great News? Hell yeah. All we need is a surge on the OPK to show up. Which we haven't been able to happen since we went for our first consult in the other city.
Again, I've never been so excited to wait for my period.

Another failure
How is it that we still cannot get the ovulation suge to show on our OPK?
Could it be that W isn't even urinating on it? Maybe she's just sticking it in the toilet bowl water.

Knock, Knock...Who's there?
Is anyone ever around when you need them?
Our specialist and her nurse (the one that referred us to the clinics) are on holidays.
Got a call from family Dr Office. I could come in to see him at 8:00 and but he couldn't guarantee that he could get me for an u/s in either. Fuck it....
I'll just wait yet ANOTHER month.
I remain positive, but why do I feel do drained?

Do Run Run, Do Run Run
Seems as though they didn't get my message for IUI.
Humm.
As if infertility isn't hard enuf.
They called back and left a message at 3:00ish (they close at 4)
W, this is the clinic. If you get this message we've scheduled you for a u/s in the clinic for 10:15 am tomorrow.
Then comes my call back.
Listen. I can't make the clinic 3 hours away for an appt tomorrow morning on this short notice. My husband isn't even in town.
Oh well can you get an u/s there? It would cost you $75 to get the results sent to us.
OK. Yeah that sounds like a plan. So get me an appt with a clinic for the u/s.
We don't think we could get you in for an u/s on this short notice there. But you could still come here.
WTF???? DUMBASS! I just told you I couldn't. Let me call my family Dr, and the specialists office.
Left message.
On holidays.
The run around is getting a little fuckin' old now!

New Year's Resolutions..Screw 'em!
Do you make resolutions? Why wait for a new year to make resolutions? You should make them all the time.
It's always nice to go to the gym in January. It's so packed with all those New Years resolutioners and by February the people you've rode your bike next to the last month have dropped off the planet. Screw it! Why make a resolution if you aren't going to keep it?
