****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

My whine for the day is that we decided last night to cancel our upcoming mini-vacation. We just landed a big contract at work and we really need to be here to supervise it. However, I gave C front row tickets for a show that this trip was built around, at it means we're forfeiting the show as well. I'm trying to be stoic, because I know she feels horrible and I don't want to add to her guilt, but I'm incredibly bummed.
QOTW: I'm a fruity cocktail girl. Give me all the mojitos and margaritas. I also enjoyed a frozen cocktail on our recent cruise called a "French Caribbean". It was mango puree, Malibu coconut rum, meyers dark rum and ice all blended and then topped with a Chambord floater. Ahhmazing!

Whine- i wanted to have an EARLY labor. lol
QOTW- honestly it changes every year. one year it was sweet tea vodka + water or lemonade, one year was margarita, one year was wine spritzers (was on a diet...) last year was nothing BOO. suggestions for summer 2015 are welcome
Wine: not much, in this exact moment. Today is monday and tomorrow is friday? (in my snow filled, long weekend world)
Whine: the midwives office just told me I have to transfer our remaining vials to the RE myself. Aka they won't sign them over to a courier. I'm annoyed. That means driving all over the freakin area to pick up a tank, get the vials, take it to a different place that is not on the way anywhere and drop them off. Hopefully I can leave the tank there. I assume this all takes place on a weekday and is not good for having a toddler in tow. Aka another day off from work.

You do remember my wife's story of transporting sperm? I'd keep the tank in the front seat with you just to keep a hand on it, lol!

Wine: I am a freak and it drove me crazy that there was still tape on the newly painted walls in the foster kid room, so I got up early to get all the tape off before it peels the new paint. So, that room is basically done, we have a crib/toddler bed, but it won't go together until we know what age child we are getting. The tinypic site is blocked at work so I can't share a picture, but the colors look really great!
Whine: My aunt found out about 3 weeks ago that her brain cancer came back. At first it looked like a spot the size of a nickel, now it is the size of a golf ball with spider legs. Within the last 3 weeks her function is greatly diminished, she can not really communicate any longer, and can't walk or stand. They are calling the family in, but it is my other aunt doing it, even though the doctors have not indicated that this is needed. I will be going to see her, but I honestly hope that it is just an over reaction and that she will regain some function once the chemo & radiation have a chance to work. It is really difficult to function at work today.
ETA: QOTW- Margarita on the rocks with sugar instead of salt. All year long!

Yes, which means I'm making my wife come with me to hang on to them!
I just, more time off work. So many snow days. Its just not what I needed. I was happy to dish out hundreds of dollars to not do it.

For our second IVF, I forgot to factor in a long holiday weekend and realized that the sperm might not arrive in time for my egg retrieval. I found out 6 hours before the sperm bank (4 hours away) closed for the long weekend. I had to cancel all of the patients scheduled for the day, hop in the car, and drive through what appeared to be a tropical storm to pick up the tank - my wife stayed home with the dogs. I arrived 23 minutes before they closed. I had been planning on maybe staying overnight if I was too tired to drive home, but then remembered that I had forgotten to bring my IVF meds with me, so I would risk screwing up the cycle if I didn't get home that evening. By that time, the holiday traffic had started, and what had taken 4.5 hours to get there took 6 hours to return. It turned out that I would have had plenty of time for the sperm to arrive by FedEx. But hey! I save $250 in shipping!
I tried to think of it that I was getting the swimmers used to me on the drive home...
*** losses mentioned
6 ICI at home
5 IUI
5 IUI with clomid
IVF #1 - loss at 12 weeks due to SCH
IVF #2 - negative
IVF #3 - twin loss at 17 weeks due to PPROM
Wine-my wife has been accepted to an incredible doctoral program! They even flew her out there (it's 2000 miles away)to visit this weekend.
Whine-it's in the conservative south where our family may not be the most comfortable. And I am home alone with the boys for 3 days! I've never done an over night by myself with the twins! I'm scared!
