Ding-Scrape-Nail-Smash

My poor car seems to be wearing the scars of our infertility.
  • Ding - someone's car door dinged the side of my car during IUI #1. I was in so much pain from ovulation, that I didn't even care when I noticed it.
  • Scrape - I scraped a parked car while turning out of the parking lot at work the day before beta for IVF #1. I knew it was a BFN thanks to my testing frenzy. I couldn't hold back the tears during my meeting, and kept my head down the best I could.
  • Nail - there was a nail found in my tire while I was stimming for IVF #2.
  • Smash - as I was pulling out of the parking lot at my clinic this morning, I smashed my rear bumper on someone else's parked car. Thankfully, their car was just fine. My bumper, not so much. I am officially all out of tears. Instead of crying, I just feel pissed off.
John & I went in to sign some consents and do some blood work for the study. I also had my baseline. The good news is that we are all set to start stims tonight. John pissed me off while we were signing the consents. He wanted to just sign and run to work, but I wanted the lady to check and make sure we didn't miss anything. He was breathing down my neck as I was reading. ANNOYING. I told him that I was going to put my pen through his eye. LOL. Then I backed my car into a parked car. Awesome!

    1. HAHAHA! I almost lost my lunch with your suggestion to smack him in his sleep!! He actually called to check on me. Blah blah blah, we were both stressed, blah blah blah. I'm over it. I'm on the hunt for a good auto body shop and almost don't care about the stinking money!!

    1. Yes, it is! I guess at the end of this cycle we'll be able to at least say that we have tried everything to help our sperm & eggs.
