Yay for the great blood results, Amelia!

FX'd for continued sticky bean!
BB, sorry your DH isn't handling the news well!
I pulled him up on it and he just blew up. Said he refuses to sit and cry.
I don't see how getting pissed even slightly helps.
Sadly, getting pissed is more socially acceptable for guys than crying.

Darn society likes to put people in boxes and people feel pressure to fit in those boxes, and it's been my experience that some people just happen to fit in those boxes, and others feel obliged to force themselves in. My DH is the type to feel obliged to force himself in the box, and it's taken a while for him to trust that he can cry if he feels like it in front of me, but he still tries to be stoic as much as possible or as a first line of defense, because it's been so ingrained that that's the thing to do. I'd wager that your DH feels like he needs to dull the pain or he will cry and so he has chosen to get pissed since simply being stoic isn't going to happen with the way he's feeling, and he's very opposed to crying due to the social stigma attached.
Probably the best thing to do, at this point, is give him a little time and then let him know that you could really use his support and ask for what you want for that, and until then lean on us.
He's just gone upstairs. I could hear clattering around. He then text me saying "I'm off to bed babes, sorry" I'm gonna leave him a couple of minutes then go up. He's awful at grieving. I guess time is going to be the healer here.
Glad he apologized, that's good.

Sorry the grieving is so hard on him, which makes it harder on you, and that you are both having to go through this.


to both of you.
2 dpo and I am already going crazy. I am the WORST in the tww. I already want to poas even though that's just silly. I hate just sitting here having to wait.
I feel you on the not liking to wait.

Nichole, I really hope this is your month!
FX'd for all you ladies testing!
Katrina, I can't see a line, but my eyes are tired. FX'd for tomorrow!
AFM: At my recent allergist appointment, I got a new allergist because the old one is leaving, and found out my new doc had IVF at the same clinic I go to!

She has a 3 yr old boy and a set of 20 month old twins (boys) all from IVF.

She said it was a great experience and they were really good at my clinic, and also offered to answer any questions I had, so I learned that I thankfully won't be put under general anesthesia (which makes me sick as a dog) and it will be sedation anesthesia like when I got my wisdom teeth extracted and which didn't bother me at all.
I also got my 'welcome to the IVF program' packet from my clinic with some info and some more forms to be filled out.

Tying to take it one step at a time, since there's a fair amount of hoop jumping before even starting the IVF cycle.
Had a good turkey day with DH and the in-laws, aside from AF bleeding me dry and making me tired, and having a loss of appetite from the femara this time...but it was still good with good food and visit. Hope everyone else celebrating TG had a good one!
