I am drowning in medical appointments. So much so that I went to my dentist appointment a MONTH EARLY! I just can't seem to keep everything straight. I have resorted to carrying around an actual paper calendar b/c it seems that when I need to check on electronic one it won't load.
On the money front we have officially paid for our IVF cycle ($3,000), the anesthesia for the ER ($966), and our meds ($1,819.05). If this ends in a real live baby it will be worth every penny. If it doesn't I expect all of you that I know IRL to stop by and bring me ice cream and chocolate to drown my saddness b/c we won't have any money to buy treats:)
At my therapy appointment yesterday I was told that when my co-irkers ask questions about where I am, what I am doing, I should simply tell them it is none of their business, or that they should stop asking me such personal questions. But the problem is that I CANNOT do that, I am way too nice. At this point I simply avoid the questions and change the subject. I think I need to grow a pair and just do it. I think I will only need to say it once b/c they will be so shocked that I was confrotational that they will never ask again.
I hope everyone is doing well, I have been a bad blogger both in regards to posting and commenting...but I have been reading:)

You are right. You will only have to say it once. And it's true...it is none of their business. I also have a hard time being direct sometimes, but once you do it...it feels sooooo good.
i hear you. I would just say "i'm sorry, i don't have the energy to go into it" meh for them.
I hope this cycle is THE ONE!! :)
You're only 10 or so hours from me...I could drop off a brownie or 10. Ok...maybe not...but I could definitely pop somethin' in the mail!
But none of us will have to do that cause it WILL work.
((HUGS))
You are totally right, but I'm not sure I can talk, because I need to grow a pair, too. I bet Megan is right, it will feel so good when you finally do it.
I would like to say, "I'd rather not say," or "I'll tell you when the time is right." The truth is that I am saying that I am going out of town because I am too chicken!
Ugh, why is it so hard to say something back to these ignorant people? They don't think twice about saying thoughtless things to us - I think the entire blogosphere should make a pact to say speak up to anyone who asks stupid questions or makes inappropriate comments for the rest of the month. Let's see how it goes...
i'm the same way with the coworkers. some of them i am good with and can change the topic quickly...others it is hard. i work with a bunch of nurses, so they kind of pick up on things, too. "april, why have you been drinking so much gatorade? you usually only drink water!"
arg.
I hope this cycle is it! It's all going so fast.
I think you should just say "the doctor" and look sad. Maybe they will feel bad about prying then. Or maybe not.
