Day 6.5

I ordered a couple books online tonight. "What to do when the doctor says PCOS" (one that a friend told me about) and "Managing your fertility" (one the doctor told me about). The second one talks about charting and stuff like that. The charting still overwhelms me, so I'd like to know how to do it right and know the signs when it comes that time. I'm not sure what the first one is about...well, PCOS obviously, but the girl who told me about it said it's a really helpful book.

Alot of things I've been reading about infertility say that Facebook is the worst for infertile couples because of all the baby announcements and baby pictures. Today has been exceptionally tough, I think everybody and their dog either posted baby pictures or baby announcements. It's really hard to see it, but I'm trying to not be the fertility Scrooge.

It's not very often I'm rendered speechless but awhile back at work a girl says "I didn't know if I should tell you I was pregnant, I didn't want you to get mad at me!" Seriously? ...What do you say to that? That's awkward on all accounts! I told the people I trusted that we were struggling with infertility, but I'm finding myself in lots of awkward situations lately. And with as sarcastic as I am, it's hard to not say something offensive! I haven't told too many people we're on fertility drugs, I don't want to get the "Does that mean you're going to be the next octamom?" It worries me what would come out of my mouth! "To hell with octamom...I'm shooting for 16!"
