They're everywhere!

Infertiles, that is! It amazes me at how often I come across someone that has struggled with infertility in some way. Today my sister and I got up at the butt crack of dawn to go stand in line outside of GAP so that she could get a free pair of jeans. Actually, she got 2 pairs. She dragged me with her so that I could get a pair for her too. I am a good sister!! There was a couple in line behind us and they had a little boy and we got to chatting. She asked if Maddie was our first and I told her yes and that we waited a long time for her. Not sure why I feel so compelled to announce this to people, but I do. Partly because I am always afraid that they are infertile and hurting and I want them to know that I am not a "fertile" and that there is hope. Another reason is because I never know who I might meet that might want to learn about Embryo Adoption. But I digress.....

After I informed the lady that we had struggled with infertility she then informed me that it took them 5 years to conceive their son. From there we talked clinics, diagnosis and meds. My poor fertile sister was bored!! So not only did I score a free pair of $60 jeans but met a fellow infertile as well. Good day! Good day!!!

Infertility makes you cRaZy!!!!

I am sitting here this morning drinking a cup o' joe and eating some sausage balls, wonderfully delicious sausage and cheesy goodness. Then all of a sudden I get hit with a wave of nausea. My first thought?? You guessed it! "Maybe I am pregnant?!?!?". There are so many things wrong with this scenario it ain't even funny! 1) I never even had morning sickness or even nausea so my mind shouldn't even go there. 2) I am on my period as we speak! and 3) I haven't even had any nookie since I had the baby. Okay, we haven't even done it for over 13 weeks! They say it is like riding a bike....let's hope so!! Cause right now I think that I have completely forgotten what goes where!!!

So, no, I am not pregnant. Though I wish that I was. But I am not. I am just feeling icky to my stomach. And slightly crazy from infertility. Good to know that things never change!

A Giveaway!!!

I was going through some stuff and found a book that I no longer need. It is called Budgeting For Infertility. I found the book to be helpful so instead of giving it to Good.will I will host a giveaway here and pass it along! So all you have to do to win this fabulous previously read book is post a comment here telling me that you want to win! Easy peasy! No hoops. No need to even follow me. Though I would. I'm awesome! All I ask is that when you are finished with it you, too, pass it along to a fellow infertile. Winner will be chosen next Wednesday. Make sure there is a way for me to contact you in case you win. Winner will have 48 hours to respond and then a new winner will be chosen. Winner will be chosen randomly so kissing up is not necessary, though appreciated.

(photo not of actual book. it is one I swiped off of Amazon. Actual book in like new condition.)

Hey! I need some help!

I want to add a links to some of my other posts across the top of my blog, but I don't know how. I have the HOME link there, but can't seem to figure out how to add other ones. Anyone able to help a girl out???

She's back....and I hate her!

Last night I had an unwelcome visitor. One that has not shown her ugly face for 11 months. One that I did not miss. Yep! You guessed it! Aunt Flo is here. Uninvited. She brought along a lot baggage as well: cramps, irritability, bloating, crabbiness, etc. A real party!! Having endo makes this an even more fun experience. Though I guess that I shouldn't complain as I did have an 11 month reprieve. I have heard that endo can get better after pregnancy and oh, how I hope that is the case for me!!! She was such a pain before, and has been since I was 16 years old, that I think that I have earned some time off for good behavior.

Flo, Flo...go away! Come again..........NEVER!
