Jenn's Diary Entries

March 6, 2001

Well girls here is my update. I went to see my OB yesterday for my yearly appt (fun, fun) and to see an RE for a consult. Because if you remember they said we couldn't do anything yet because of insurance not covering any of it until 1 yr past the m/c. Well I went in for my yearly and found out that I have to have the Rubella vaccine before I start trying again. Any of you have to have this? I had heard of it but didn't think my doctor figured I needed it or something. Well she said yesterday "It appears to me that you have not had the Rubella vaccine." I said no. She said, " Well I guess I wasn't doing my job before cause you have to have that before you get pg. ". So I will have that next Tuesday and then wait 3 mths to TTC again. So I will have that and I am on birth control pills for 3 mths until that is out of my system.

Then I saw my RE. She was very nice and wants to get things rolling now, not in July. I asked her about the 1 yr since the m/c and she said well since you have been actively trying since Jan/Feb of last year we'll submit this to your insurance and find out if they'll cover you now. She said it shouldn't be any problem so we'll see. She wants me to have an HSG between now and then and wants DH to get an s/a. When I told him he said I'm not jerking off into a cup. Excuse the language. LOL. He told me a long time ago before any of this fertility crap that he would have to do that if need be. So he was just kidding me. LOL

I was kinda upset about the waiting 3 mths but I had also been thinking that I needed a long break, for me and my body and my saneness. LOL But I really do, so I think these 3 mths will help me greatly. I won't wake up every morning wondering if I'm pg or not, when will I get pg and all the crap that goes along with it. My arthritis has really been hurting me lately so now I'll be able to take meds for it and get it calmed down a little. I think this is a good thing.

One thing that I can't understand is this. When I talk to my Mom about all this, it's like she blames me for it. I was talking to her last night and telling her about the HSG and DH's s/a. She said well it's not Cory, it's you. I mean come on how can she say that. I don't think it is Cory either because I got PG twice but come on. She acts like she's putting all the blame on me. Like I'm doing it on purpose. I know she wants us to have a grandbaby for her but it's not like we don't want one more than her. Right. My Mom and I are very close so I can't figure out why she is acting like this. But I remember when I had the m/c and she just couldn't believe it and kept saying why can people who are addicted to crack have babies and you can't? I understand that she wants one too but she has to come to realize THAT IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN RIGHT NOW. Anyone else in this situation? I just can't figure it out.

Anyways, I will be on a break right now. When anything happens that's relevant to TTC or something I'll let you all know. Ok.
Take care and I wish you all the best of luck!!!!!

Love, Jenn B.
