I just don't know what to even write anymore. I had hoped that my blog would go from IF to pregnancy and instead we're just stuck.
It was a bad week for me, I have been out of it and sad. While I am grateful we had an opportunity to try I just wish it would have worked. Dr. S's stats are 70% for sperm retrievals. It sucks to fall on the other side.
I remember thinking to myself while in the waiting room that the other 3 guys who were next in line for the mTESE would be the winners that day since we already fell on the bad side of the odds.
I am in the anger stage of grief. I am angry, why us? What the hell did we do to deserve this? Why can everyone around me get knocked up by having sex? WTF! I hope it passes quickly b/c I hate feeling like this.

Other updates -
D and I are going to Mi.ami for the weekend to baptize our niece and nephew. They informed us the day after we were told we couldn't have biological children that we were to fly down this weekend for the baptism (we've known we would be the god parents for a long time, kids are 12 and 9). When we asked for an extension we were told no and are paying a ridiculous amount of money (hi, we just spent $20,000 to not have a kid) to fly to Mi.ami and for hotel since I refuse to stay with them and their insensitive asses. Am I being a bitch? I don't think I am but again I am in the anger stage. You've waited years, would it have killed you to wait a couple of months. The fertiles just don't get it. My SIL, who I like, is from South America and has offered to get me a kid, WTF does that mean? Hi, thanks for the offer but I don't want to adopt internationally and am not really in place to talk about this so please shut the fuck up.
I'm going to try to limit the amount of time I spend with them and lounge on a beach, which always relaxes me. I also scheduled a couple's massage for D and I, since we're broke why not ;)
My Dad is doing well. His procedure was successful and he's home relaxing and acting a little more like himself. We did get into an argument on Easter when I refused to talk to my family in Italy b/c I couldn't deal with the "when are you having kids" questions. (see Christmas 2008 for the calls to Italy cryfest)
My mom had her first treatment also. They still need to test a few more areas and her lumps, which maybe be removed first and tested later.
OK, sorry for the boring update. I don't have the energy to be humorous or sarcastic.
I have to say Thank God for my furbaby, he always finds a way to put a smile on our faces.

It sucks to fall on the loser odds of actually being infertile at ALL...and then to fall on the loser odds of treatment as well. I'm so sorry...
You are right about the furbabies though...What would I do without my Jack?
I think about you and your husband every day and please know you are in our prayers.
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I know that they say that life isn't fair but I don't understand why it has to be so cruel!!! Do what ever you and your husband need to do to heal from this. Stay away from the people that upset you and spend this time with your husband taking care of each other. I hope and pray what ever decision you both make about your future will bring you the family you dreamed of and so richly DESERVE!!!
Love & Hugs,
Christine

I'm sorry to hear your having such a hard time. I can only imagine what your feeling right now. There aren't any words I can tell you to make you feel better but just know I'm thinking of you and praying for something amazing to happen in your life.
The losing side always sucks...for you guys it sucks even more *hugs*
I'd be avoiding those family members like the plague: You're a saint for flying down there...how rude of them though, that they've waited this long that they couldn't have given you some advance notice or delayed a bit...some people.
Try and enjoy your time on the beach.
I'm so sorry worms. Hopefully the Miami sun will cheer you both up a bit. You will have the family you want (and deserve!) someday soon. In the meantime you both are in my prayers.
Ciao bella - that's really insensitive to expect people to drop their lives (and a lot of $$) and travel that far for a baptism! Esp. with them knowing what you just went through.
I hope you and your DH can spend some time away on a beach for a little relaxation which you so deserve and need. Glad to hear your father's doing okay so far. ((HUGS))
I think about u lften chick..nice to see you posting even if you arent back to ur usual self just yet !!
massive hugs..much love !. xx xx
I agree - it sucks being in the loser pile - we have been there over and over. I hope you get through Miami.
You have every right to be angry. You guys don't deserve this. And your SIL sounds really insensitive. I mean they waited until their kids were 9 and 12 for baptism and can't wait another few months. WTH.
Salve cara,
I just want to let you know that I'm still around and always following your updates. I am so angry for you and your heartache. I wish I knew what to say. Just know that I continue to pray for you and D. Ti mando un grand' abbraccio : )
Did you just call it a boring update? I think it is tectonic shift update!
SIL offering you to get a kid? What the H was that?
It is so sad to be pulled into kid functions, when all we are trying is to cook up our own minus one iota of success.
Good Luck!

Thinking of you - wanted to check your blog to see how you're holding up. I know it's tough. Hang in there - I'm sending you lots of hugs and prayers....

I'm so sorry the news wasn't good. It frakking sucks to fall on the bad side of medical odds.
BTW, I noticed your reading list for '09. I am running a reading challenge this year and everyone who meets their goal for the year will be entered in a drawing for a prize. You should come join the fun.
