Are you kidding me?

Ok, so let’s recap…
My last post, I was quite relieved to have made it through the baby shower. It had been “hanging over my head” so to speak for a few months since I got the save-the-date e-mail.
So what do I find sitting on the counter when I get home from a long day at the hospital…yup, you guessed it. ANOTHER baby shower invitation.
Is this not cruel or what? LOL!
Yesterday I “almost” had a complete breakdown. It wasn’t even related to infertility. It was related to my stupid printer that decided to just quit working on me for absolutely no reason when I was in the middle of tryingto cram in a few hours of studying/printing out notecards for my exam next week (I am going to be swamped this weekend). This type of technical/computer glitch is pretty frickin annoying even when my hormones are normal. So considering I’m completely pms-ing, I’m coming down with a cold AND my printer stopped working when I REALLY needed it to work….Let’s just say I was “this” close to chucking the printer right through our study window sans opening it first. I was so pissed, I literally wanted to take a baseball bat and break it into a million pieces. And why would I do this? Just so I could say “ok, printer…NOW you have an actual reason not to print.” (you know, sorta like in the fax machine beatdown in the movie Office Space)
Thankfully, I kept it together (barely) and did not do that, since today I finally figured out why it wont print and it is THE stupidest reason!
But back to the baby shower invite…the second I saw that pale yellow envelope sitting on the counter with my name on it, I just had to laugh at the irony of it all. It’s like I cannot go two days without another reminder about the fact that everyone else gets to celebrate their pregnancies and I get to celebrate my barrenness…joy!
But really, I’m actually ok. It was such bad timing it was sorta funny. At least I have a sense of humor about my infertility now!
Oh, and BTW, my doctor finally e-mailed me back and told me to pick a Wednesday to have a phone consultation. Unfortunately, I am at the hospital for 12 hours every Wednesday with no phones allowed…um…ok, I think this is really just not meant to be! 
Have a good night friends!

Yeah, that does suck! A lot. You’ll have to be like me and not have any friends. I’ve never been invited to a baby shower. It’s handy that way. (This doesn’t sound annoying and sarcasic, right? It’s not meant that way.)

Well just think of it this way – you got that horrible baby shower invitation news out of the way during an already stressful, and horrible day – damn that printer! Therefore once the PMS is gone, the world is going to seem a whole lot brighter! Tell the doc you don’t do Wedensdays – make him change his schedule!!

I agree with Soapchick that at least you got the invite on already crappy day instead of it messing with a good day. Definitely check if the doctor can do a different day for a phone consult.

I know how that goes.. Yesterday I had a huge meltdown while trying to upload pictures to face.book! As if that’s really what I was mad at. But when I’m barely hanging on, anything can make me lose it. I am a loose cannon!
I hope you can get your doctor on the phone, or find another option that works. I’ve found in the past that when I hit a wall with one doctor, I’m meant to take a different path. I’m praying for you!
