Can we bitch here?

[bearfootz]

I mean, just have a vent session about anything and everything?

Because I have to say that I'm so sick of reading about how I'd now be at "advanced maternal age" or have a "geriatric pregnancy".  Could they come up with some better terms like "more financially prepared age" and "emotionally ready pregnancy".  Granted, those last two might not actually apply, but still.

Also, it's snowing. I hate winter.

I know I hate those labels.

I want to vent about false expectations. OB said I ovulated based on uterine lining but FF doesn't agree with her. Now I'm worried this will be an anovulary cycle and the monster that is post MC AF will come out of the blue with no warning. That will be a horrific mess.

Edited because sentences are hard.

Mine's more of a joke. My sister freaked out when I texted her that my FSH results were shitty (15) and that it means I'm old and don't have any good eggs left. (Don't worry; I've calmed down since then and know I need to wait for my AMH results and the RE to interpret.) She called me on Friday and sounded tipsy. She was like, your eggs aren't OLD! YOU aren't OLD! Lol. I'm 36, and she turns 40 this month, so the reality is weird for her. But she's totally done having kids, so what should it matter?

I agree... and it's unfair. I want to lay down on my back and kick and scream about it. Seriously? BTW... I did inventory this weekend. I have no other signs of aging beyond like 30ish except my poor 50 year old ovaries. WTF? How can the rest of me stay young and the part I need be so damn old.

Freakin' geriatric pregnancy my ass... it's not like we're all a bunch of 80 year olds trying to get pregnant here! Ya know what I'm so sick of hearing?? "Just relax and don't think about it and it'll happen." OR "Just get drunk and it'll happen." OR "It happens when you least expect it." That's great advice - IF I WAS 17 and did nothing but party and have sex with my boyfriend!!

Oh yeah, and I hate winter too. Clearing 3 feet of snow when you have horses is not fun. I know I shouldn't complain because I'm lucky I have horses in my backyard - but f*ck you blizzard! I don't wanna shovel 3 feet of snow!

AMA don't aggravate me as much as geriatric pregnancy.It is not snowing here yet but it is freaking cold.

[nikolie93]

Geriatric pregnancy. Raaaaaaaaaage

[Deleted]

omg, you are all cracking me up!!! FINALLY PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND!!! If any of my friends say ONE MORE TIME "just have more sex" I will smack somebody!!

[EmsMama15]

My SIL, who's a freaking nurse, told me I needed to relax. I nearly punched her. Yeah, I'll just go get a massage and magically be knocked up. Could you share this tidbit with my poly cystic ovaries please? Ugh!

edit: a massage, not ax massage ... Ax massage doesn't sound relaxing at all.

OH THIS!!!!!!!!!!

People think Im like 25 years old!!! They mistake my daughter (18 yrs old) to be my sibling or cousin or friend. She calls me mom in stores and stuff and the sales girls stop us and ask if Im really her mom....no joke EVERY TIME WE SHOP.  While I don't know for sure I have issues......I suspect my eggs are rusty and dusty......sigh.

[KirstenAlecia]

BTW.......WTF is geriatric pregnancy?? I can't believe thats a real thing???

Googling...

[luvmyponies]

Seriously! Someone came to the door the other day and asked if "my mom was home." I was so confused... wondering why they'd ask for my mom?? Then I realized... they thought I was the "kid," my parents owned the house! If I look too young to own a house, can someone tell my eggs??

Oh... and my cousin's kids asked her if I was "an adult" or "a kid." So if I look young to a couple of 5 year olds, it must be true! LOL!

I've never heard of this either. Guess this will be moving up in the Google search stats.

[callmeKD]

I got a smiley face on my OPK this morning. and of course, DH doesn't feel well. fuck.

[callmeKD]

the same thing happened last month, we both had the flu when I O'd. ^^

[luvmyponies]

@callmekd, I so feel your pain. Last month I hurt my back and could barely move, this month I have the flu. There always seems to be something interrupting O.

So, I've heard this term here and on the other place, but I work in the NICU and I've never actually heard it used in a patient's chart.  I've heard "elderly" which I find just as offensive and I specifically asked my OB not to use that term in my chart.  Since she was also an "AMA" mama, she complied.

OMG I think I would strangle the doctor who used "elderly" in my chart!!!

Yes EmsMama15: My nurse practitioner told me that our fertility issue was probably stress five months ago, and we just needed to relax a little bit. I wanted to strangle her.
