Valentine's shmalentines *updated*

I am busy busy busy. I've been tagged, but I haven't had time to sit down and write a response. It's Valentine's day today, but I haven't bought a so much as a card for my hubby, although I snuck cards into the boys' lunch boxes this morning. All weekend the kids were sick, and yesterday I was sick, so I spent all day in bed sleeping. I'm not joking, I didn't wake up until 12:30. I'm still not feeling 100%. I remembered that the boys had to have valentines for all the kids in their classes as of 2 pm yesterday, and since I haven't been farther than 15 feet or so from a bathroom in two days, I had to send my husband out on an emergency valentine run. I was up until 11:30 last night addressing them...with two mad dashes to the toilet.

My clinic called me sometime yesterday afternoon. I was in bed at the time, and my husband came in with the phone and tossed it at me while literally snarling that it was my doctor before storming out of the room. When I went to answer it the line was dead, so I got out of bed and went after him. Once again my husband was angry, even though he promised that it was ok to move forward and that he wasn't going to be a prick about it. Once again I'm left with not knowing if I'm supposed to move forward or if I'm just supposed to dangle in the breeze with my pants down. I am so fed up, I can't even tell you. And tomorrow is cycle day 21 for me, so it is possible that the clinic was calling me to tell me to get blood drawn tomorrow so I can start Lupron, which would mean scrabbling to buy it today so it can be shipped. Of course I called them back yesterday, but it was already late in the afternoon so all I could do was leave a message. I'm hoping they get back to me early today so I know what's up. But before they do I have to call hubby at work and confirm that it is indeed ok for me to move forward. GAH! He drives me crazy. I don't need flowers or roses, I just need some consistency from this dude.

Anyway, I apologize if I haven't been keeping up with everyone's posts and whatnot. I'll be back on top of things.....sometime.

*UPDATE*  I called my tricky hubby to see if I had the go ahead or not. I emphasized the fact that I didn't want to do this without him on board 100%, and that this was the last time I wanted to hear any objections, and he told me to "go ahead and call the clinic". So I did. They called me back promptly, I'm pleased to say. My doctor knows that Pablo is due back from Boca..(or wherever he is off spoiling someone's day)...next week, and when he arrives I am to call them to schedule a saline ultrasound strait away to be sure that all the *products of conception* have been properly removed.  So...still on target for an April cycle most likely. YEAH!

  1. I hope you are feeling better soon! Sounds like a miserable night :(

    And that sucks about your hubs. I hope he can just embrace moving forward and stop being so bipolar!

    1. I'm still afraid to go anywhere today. I did print my husband out a cute card I made, though.

      He is being bi polar. He was so incredibly sweet about me being sick up until the phone call that I was left totally baffled.

  2. (HUG) I hope you feel better soon!

    I'm sorry to hear that things with hubby are not going the way you would like them to. I hope he comes around and you are able to get this cycle started with his support.

    Thinking of you!

    1. Thank you...you don't want to hug me right now, though, icky germs ;)

      It seems like we are moving forward. If he freaks out on me every time the clinic calls me it's going to be one hell of a long cycle, though.

    1. You bet it's moving forward. Get on board, or get out of the way!

      In all seriousness, two major go rounds about something should be enough, no? It's a good thing he is so cute.

    1. I keep cutting him slack because I think he is still processing all his feelings from the last cycle. But he better process a little faster.

    1. He is like Jekyll and Hyde. He is wonderful as long as there is NO MENTION or word spoken about IF or anything having to do with it. Which is damn near impossible while trying to do an IVF cycle. WTH???

  8. Yay for an April cycle! So excited for you! And so sorry about your husband...all this is difficult enough without that added worry/stress/craziness.

    1. He has been very sweet to me, too, which just makes it more baffling. But it looks like he just has momentary panic about the whole thing from time to time. I do too, I just beat myself up over it :)

    1. There is a stomach bug going around, and apparently it is lodged happily in my intestinal tract. I am sorely tempted to doctor myself with the antibiotics my husband didn't use last cycle.

      Yeah for April! I hope we can be cycle buddies :)

  10. I hope you are feeling better and hoping and praying so hard that your Hubby can work through whatever he is going through and give you the love and support you need and deserve.

  11. It's tough girl! It's weird how we think we're on the same page and then all of a sudden they wack out on us sometimes. And they say we're the moody ones! :)

    Glad that things are on track for you for April!

  12. My comment is coming sooooo far after your original post, but I just wanted to say that I can totally relate to the hubby problems. Ugg. Actually, my husband and I are in a really good place right now, but it was touch and go right before our do or egg cycle.
