My 33rd Cycle

How interesting. The month I turn 33 coincides with our 33rd cycle since we began that cheeky little acronyn, TTC (it's actually nearing anacronym status, because to be honest, I am forgetting what those letters actually stand for.. trying... to?... ummm.. sorry, nope, the C means nothing to me. C... cope? cooperate? copulate? conjugate?)

So I stopped BCPs (another acronym/anacronym conversion) on August 31. My moods sucked, no one liked the BCP Me. I am a happier, less moody, less volatile human these days.

B-B-But....

I am also eyeing the OPK's and the BBT (more acronyms)...

I may get pregnant, which means I could suffer a nearly immediate pregnancy loss as a result.

Here's the equation:

x²=me xy=Brad
x²+xy=pregnancy
If x=0 or y=0, pregnancy=pregnancy loss
x=0 and y=0, so
x²+xy=pregnancy
0²+0=me crying in the shower stall

So far, x and y always =0 and I've never had my body prove that theorem false. But the sado-masochistic part of my brain can't seem to help it. It's pathetic. I should be happy knowing I am not about to suffer the intense emotional trauma of an embryo without hope.

I haven't even had my explorative hysteroscopy yet. I must resist. Right?

Ok..now that is a little odd...33 & 33. Hmmm.
When are you gonna schedule the surgery girlie? Glad you went off the pill. No sense in making yourself more miserable. Damn pills anyway!!!

I think the time is nigh to schedule the hysteroscopy. Before my urges get the better of me.

Birth control pills be damned. As for the 33, I do believe you've discovered the mystery of the Rolling Rock "33". Way to go!!!

Thinking about you and your surgery...

You math wiz! I was wondering how on earth you could have an OPK and not even consider using it for its intended purpose. I couldn't do it. I recommend resisting but I know what I'd do... Maybe if you can get the hysteroscopy scheduled it will help you resist...

Hugs to you - Kym

Hi sweetie,

I had EVERY intention of saying happy birthday on the 10th. Every intention. But Celeste and Carter & I were back at the hospital under the bilirubin lights and I'm sorry to say I forgot all about it. But, my best wishes now for a great year.
