TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5.

Just left Disney on Ice. Great show and the kids loved it but I'm so ready to go home. I'm tired of pretending like nothing is wrong while I just wait. H is working tonight and I'm actually looking forward to being alone so I can just wallow and have a good cry by myself.
I had to go in for all my new hire paperwork today! They gave me a ton of hours this week since I'm on vacation from school (29 hours, I'll normally be working <20). I'm going to need to go buy a couple more pairs of khakis and some new sneakers at some point.
Also, a friend of mine had trouble trying to conceive and I knew she experienced a chemical pregnancy as well. She is currently pregnant and she knows that I am trying. I told her about what happened and she gave me the "well you haven't been trying that long". Am I being over sensitive that this pissed me off? Like, I know I haven't been trying long but does that mean a loss should fucking hurt less? That's ridiculous. The only words that came out of my mouth when she told me about her loss were "I'm so sorry".
GKU question. I got a pair of sterling silver earrings for Christmas and I'm allergic to it. Do you think if I took them to a jewelry store they could dip them like they do to rings?

I think your reaction was correct, @irish. A loss is a loss. You should join the TTCAL check in on Tuesdays. It's been immensely helpful for me. All the hugs
(And forgive me if you joined already, my brain is non functional right now. )

Thank you. No I haven't joined but I definitely will.

Sorry @irish but I hope you get your cleansing cry, sometimes it's the only thing that makes it feel better. And yes, that comment was not appropriate. Loss is a loss, it always hurts.

@irish, A loss is a loss no matter if you've been trying for awhile, had just started, were ntnp, or it was an accidental pregnancy. My first was after I gku when we were ntnp. Just because we weren't actively trying doesn't mean the loss hurt any less. Your friend is an asshat for saying that and if she has had a loss she should know better.

@irish what everyone else has said is 100% correct. A loss always hurts and your reaction is completely understandable. Shame on your friend for saying that to you. I'll also echo requiressnacks and invite you to join our Tuesday check-in. The ladies there are amazingly supportive.
GKU question. I got a pair of sterling silver earrings for Christmas and I'm allergic to it. Do you think if I took them to a jewelry store they could dip them like they do to rings?
I don't see why it would be a problem to dip the earrings. Can't hurt to ask at least
Thanks. I'm going to be by the place that does all the jewelry repair for our local chain places this week so I thought about dropping them off.
They are little bicycle studs and are really cute.
I'm sorry, @irish, I don't think you're being oversensitive at all. I hope some alone time helps in some way. A loss is a loss no matter what, and you are entitled to any feelings you have.
Thanks guys. I'm feeling a little better now. I think I'm just anxious because I should be talkin to the doctor tomorrow since I had betas drawn Thursday. Idk what the next step will be since I haven't had any spotting or bleeding yet. Which is making this tiny voice in the back of my head say "maybe it's ok" which is ridiculous.
I've got Jammies and Harry Potter. Im good. No more Debbie downer-ing

Way behind but doesn't matter how long amyone has been trying a loss is a loss.

Hi GKU! I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend. I just got back from watching Star Wars with my family; we watched some of the original movies earlier. We're about to eat a big dinner my mom is cooking.
Christmas Day itself was tough because my grandma ended up in the hospital for pneumonia and I was sad over my BFN. But fortunately in my family we celebrate for several days, so we have managed to have some good times later.
