As they dive

My temps have taken their dive. I was really hoping for a little longer luteal phase, but I guess I made it ten days. That's not too bad. This month is a little weird anyway. Who knows what's normal in this cycle.

I just realized today that if all goes as scheduled my next period will fall at around Christmas week. I won't be able to start any treatment then either! The clinic will be closed. That means I'll have to wait for another cycle in mid January. Two whole cycles wasted!

Maybe this is a shot at another natural pregnancy and I should look at it that way. We're certainly going to give it our best shot, but morale is low at casa conception and I think we're a little gun shy after the last disappointing failure.

Meanwhile my ears are trying to stay deaf to people complaining about their pregnancies. First of all my friend Bea was just chatting with me the other day telling me how her sister-in-law is "just miserable with morning sickness...and her boss is unhappy so she said to him..., blah, blah, blah..." And the story went on and on and on about how disgusted poor S is with her life right now, and I guess I was supposed to say "poor thing," which I actually did say because I was otherwise speechless. I'm not being hypersensitive but this is the same sister in law who shared my due date. My EXACT due date. Bea was so excited when she found out about our shared dates because she has always wanted me to meet S. S and I have actually written to each other a few times and I really like her. Anyway, Bea thought it was destiny that we had become pregnant the same week. I know Bea probably forgot, either that or her compassion chip fell out, or else am being hypersensitive, but eek...come on. She has to know that I would love to be in S's vomit covered shoes. I'm also tired of people complaining about their pregnancies on ttc boards where people are clearly still trying (and not succeeding) to become pregnant. The board I post on had two miscarriages this month from members who have been posting for over a year, and yet still people are complaining about "back aches," and "morning sickness" Hey, that's what pregnancy boards and personal blogs are for, complaining! I like hearing about the pregnancies and seeing the belly shots. I really enjoy that in fact, but complaints in such a forum just raise the hair on my neck. Now you just get your little progesto-butts on over to the first tri board and commiserate where you ought to. Have a little heart here!

This just furthers my theory that pregnant women are completely selfish creatures. Trust me I remember all too well.
