My husband and I often joke that we both have a perpetual black cloud over our heads.
I can't say that I've always been unlucky but I'm definitely NOT one of those people who has everything go right for them.
You don't believe me?
Here's a summary of how 2004 went:
January - the pipe to our hot water heater broke. Not only were we without hot water for 3 days but it made a nice little mess in our utility room.
February - the water meter in front of our house froze. We woke up one morning without any water. Luckily, the water company fixed it the same day.
March - my car died. The engine block had a leak in one of the thinga ma jiggies and I had to buy a new car.
April - my husband came home from work and found termites in our powder room. Not just one or two but a whole swarm of them!
May - My husband used to play softball regularly and would come home late some nights. This one particular night, he decided not to wake me up so he slept on the couch. He woke up around 6:00 am and heard water but thought I was in the shower. When the water didn't shut off after 30 minutes, he got up to investigate. He found a waterfall in our basement, literally. We had polybutylene pipes in the entire house and one of them broke in the ceiling. For those that don't know what those pipes are, they are the biggest piece of crap ever manufactured. They are made of a hard plastic and were installed in a lot of homes in the early 80's. Over time, the inside of the pipe starts to wear down and eventually, the pipe cracks.
Hmmmm? That sounds like a description that I used for my reproductivity.
But, I digress. So, we had a waterfall in our basement and lost all of the carpet downstairs.
June - one of our really good friends had a heart attack. He ended up being OK.
And, you're starting to get the picture.
So, when things start to go right, I get nervous.
Like it's a mistake or I've been transported to another universe where the other "me" lives and enjoys silver linings.
I had a good week at work. A really good week.
And things seem to be on track for the next cycle.
I had my annual pelvic exam this morning and my regular OB/GYN was very positive and confident.
All of this good karma is freakin' me out!

Well, I for one just hope that this is a sign of your luck turning around! I'm hoping for the best for you, Suzanne!
Well, I read the above post before, so this might influence how I probably would have responded.
I must say though that I agree with Wendy, and I'm hoping and trusting for the very best.
Fingers crossed for a great cycle.
Best wishes,
Anna
