Where Life Bitch Slaps Me

I've been avoiding my blog for the past few days. I've wanted to post but then start and can't finish and FUCK I'm having issues. You see, I let Teddy Bear dispense my meds to me for a few weeks without overseeing his dispensing techniques. Most of my medications I take in the evening, one per each type. Not a lot to fuck up there. Flonase for the sneezy, allergic to cats nose, steriod inhaler for sucky-ass lungs, brain meds and birth control pill. I know I forgot one or twelve pills but you get the picture. The only one that is mission critical is the birth control pill, which for simplicities sake will be known in this post as "The PILL". I'm on a pill with three levels of hormones and a week of sugar pills for the time that Aunt Flo is visiting. The level of hormones goes something like this:

Week 1: HIGH dosage to keep eggs from wandering out of ovaries.
Week 2: Medium dosage (same effect as above) not as critical because ovulation is suppressed for the month.
Week 3: Low dosage (same as above) just take the damn pill and shut up you're not going to get pregnant this month.

Teddy Bear wasn't used to my new pill packs (I switched to generic a few months ago) and instead of giving me the dosage in the HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW format I received LOW, MEDIUM and then I took a look at the pill package. And nearly fucking shit myself. Twice. Because although I may not be a rocket scientist I know a few things. Well, I know several important things I shall list below:
  1. I have been historically known as a fertile Myrtle.
  2. A low dosage of hormones during the high week is probably not enough to suppress ovulation.
  3. I "did it" the week of the low dosage.
Remember how I wasn't feeling well? Part of me thought "Holy fuck I'm pregnant" and another part of me though "Duh! you're 33 and under lots of stress and taking a zillion medications and drinking ALCOHOL there is no way you're pregnant". I decided that I was insane and I would wait until my period either appeared or did not appear before totally freaking the fuck out.

Then I started spotting that special kind of spotting you get when you're having a miscarriage and I was so torn. I want a baby with Teddy Bear so badly, just not right now. Not while I'm taking medications that can fuck up a baby. Not while we're living with his parents. Not now. But? I was pregnant. For a few short weeks. And it hurts and I don't know what to think or say. I emailed Ewe Girl but other than that no one knows. What do you tell your friends? "Hi I was pregnant and now I'm not and I'm sad but glad but this sucks and WHY NOW?"

I've wanted to tell you guys, my Internet friends but it has been so hard to say. Typing it makes it real, and reality sucks my ass. My unemployed, crampy, miserable uterus ass.

Other than I'm so sorry for your loss, there are no words, so I'll just send hugs.

Onward and upward. I am sorry. I have had something like this happen too. Relief and sadness mixed together. It's odd. You feel guilty feeling it.

Don't deny your sad feelings though. Move forward but make sure you let yourself feel whatever you need to.

Then drink. Wait - is that bad advice? Yeah probably. Good. Go for it. Tequila all the way.

I am really sorry about your loss. I hope that it works out for you later. I know what you mean about not knowing what to say. My grammy died this Spring Break, and when I came back to school, everyone asked if I did anything fun over the break. Not so much.

I can see why it you're sad and glad though.. and why now?! that's what I said! but, you know that it'll happen for you and Teddy Bear one day when it's perfect timing for you guys and then your young ones can play with our young ones.

Hey lovely.

I happen to like that miserable ass of yours. Just so's you know. And I shall be scrolling up and drunkenly commenting on later, less serious posts too.

So there. Keep your fucking chin up. I command thee.

so, if this was microsoft word, i would be using the 48 font right now, fyi.

i am so sorry, sam. i don't know what else to say without spewing out obnoctious cliches which never make anyone truly feel better about things. so i will just send {{{hugs}}}
