A Little Privacy, Please

Well, Monday is my lining check appointment. I've done 3 Del Estrogen shots so far and my good friends, Super Big Boobies, are back. Welcome home!

I've tried to keep this FET cycle as low-key as I can but I keep getting bombarded with questions from people. I know they mean well and they are anxious just like we are but there is a certain level of inappropriateness to it.

If we weren't doing infertility treatments, would they be asking "So, did you do it last night?".

No, I don't think so!

I guess because there is some level of science involved, it makes it OK to ask about my uterus, and my husband's sperm and the thickness of my endometrium?

Yes, a little bit of privacy would also be nice.

(My uterus is shy after all).

I have limited the number of people we've told because I didn't want to deal with other people's disappointment if it doesn't work.

But I'm also not a good liar.

I can usually fib my way through one question but no! My friends and family were trained by the CIA and they fire back with 15 more questions.

So, I sit there, under the spotlight, in a dark, wet, room and I break.

Just like a little girly-man.

"OK.... OK! Stop the Chinese Water Torture! I'll tell you everything you need to know!".

God, I'm a wuss.

And, it's not good because I've realized that I will never get to live my life-long dream of becoming an international spy.

If the appointment goes well on Monday, I'm assuming my transfer will still be Friday, 8/15. They thaw the embryos the morning of so I won't know how many we have until we get there. We gambled and said to do all 3.

Hopefully they'll have the courtesy of calling if they all arrest?

Because I'd be super pissed if we drove all the way up there for nothing.

That would suck. Seriously.

If my uterus doesn't mind, I'll let you know how thick she is after my appointment.

8/15 is getting so close! Good luck holding off the curious bystanders in the meantime. Also, I like your redesign - very nice.

Hey-I like the new background!! Good luck hon on your upcoming FET on Friday! Yikes! That's so quick!

Sorry to hear about the "peanut gallery." Hope they give you a break soon.

I like your new design, too. Very nice.

I understand about not telling as many people about the current cycle. That's what we're doing, too. I thought it would be less stress.

Good luck on Friday!

I've often thought the same thing about people asking inappropriate questions to those pg with multiples. The first question is always something like, "Did you do fertility treatments?" I would think until the ask-er is willing to share the conception story of their child(ren), they should just zip it. (:

I hope all goes well for you on Friday!!

I'm so excited we may be on the same day! I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us.

I can totally commiserate about the questions - on one hand, I'm glad people care and want to know, but I get irritated when they don't "get" things I know I've explained or at leat mentioned on the blog.

P.S. - love the design!
