We have been TTC for over four years now. The first year was just having fun and trying to see what happens. During that time my DH’s mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away. I don’t really consider that year part of our TTC journey because we had so much other stuff going on. The second year was spent with a far away RE doing testing. My DH has low morphology so the far away doctor wanted to do a SA four months apart in hopes of seeing improvement. Such a big waste of time – we then found an awesome RE closer to home. During years three and four we have done 10 IUI’s, 1 IVF, and 1 FET. Two of the IUI’s worked. The seventh IUI I miscarried at 10 weeks and the 10th IUI I miscarried at six weeks. IVF resulted in four fabulous grade A embryos. Two were transfered for the IVF and the last two for FET. Both resulted in a BFN. Jan 2011 we got our BFP with IVF#2 but lost our baby Gavin at 18.5 weeks. We took the next 6 months to heal emotionally. In December 2011 we transferred one frozen embryo. It resulted in a BFP! Due in August! I hope you enjoy following my story and don’t be shy! Tell me about yours!
This is what I received in the mail yesterday.What a great reminder of what I don’t have this month.I’m so ready to get the hell out of here!I promise to be in a better mood when I get back!
And you know, I've signed up for Gerber and Similac and all kinds of crap so I could stock up with coupons and I haven't received anything! Oh the irony of it all
ugh... why is it so easy to get on these mailing lists but so impossible to get off of them?? I've been getting target baby coupons and similac coupons in the mail for the last two months... OB's or insurance companies should really be on top of this kind of crap.
That is absolutely awful. I don't know why that hits me so hard, but it sure does.
I didn't do any lists or registries with this pregnancy, except somehow I got my due date into babycenter and so I get these emails of what my baby should be doing at each age. It's kind of nice since they are adjusted age. There aren't any emails for what our stillborn or miscarried children are doing though, sigh.
I got the same thing last month!!! I posted a pic on my blog and wrote a rant about it...what the hell?! Just another reminder of what we don't have. Thanks a lot USPS!
I am dreading the day I get something like that in the mail.
Thank you for stopping by my blog to comment. Your picture of little Gavin reminds me so much of my babies M & A. They looked so much like him, being near the same age.
We are also going to plan on a FET near the beginning of next year. We are hoping, a new year, a new baby. I will be following you and hoping for the best for both of us.

ReplyDeleteThe constant reminders suck!
ReplyDeleteThat really sucks. Your vacation needs to hurry up! Somehow I got signed up for Parents Magazine. A monthly reminder that I'm still not a parent...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that they sent that to you. Chuck it in the garbage and get ready for your vacation!
ReplyDeleteOh no :( So sorry for that to happen. Throw it in the trash or donate it to a shelter (*hugs*) So not fair.
ReplyDeleteugh... why is it so easy to get on these mailing lists but so impossible to get off of them?? I've been getting target baby coupons and similac coupons in the mail for the last two months... OB's or insurance companies should really be on top of this kind of crap.
ReplyDeleteI hope your escape to NYC is fabulous and takes your mind off of frustrations like this!
ReplyDeleteUgh. That happened to me at my unfulfilled due date, too. I hate damn Similac. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteToday I got the magazines American Baby and Parents....
ReplyDeleteHarry would have been 2 months old today. I can't wait to get out of this house too!
terrible. I hope you can write to the company who sent it to you and let them know to be more sensitive. Hoping you have a great trip :)

Ugh, disgusting. I am so very sorry.
ReplyDeleteBaby related mail, without a baby, is the worst!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry - this sucks. Thinking of you - hoping you're enjoying your trip.
ReplyDeleteI've known way too many babyloss moms who had that same experience. You suck, Similac! Enjoy your trip.
