Mel asked us to: Leave a comment below telling either a truth or a lie about yourself along with your monthly update about yourself. It has to be one or the other, not a partial truth or a sort of lie. If you’re going to lie, make it a good one. And if you’re going to tell the truth, make it a damn fine one too. Here is my response:
I'm a little late to this party but I'd love a Mimosa. Could you serve it to me out by the pool? (thanks!) And now for my truth/lie... The night I first met my husband, at a fraternity party in a house reminiscent of the house in Animal House, he propositioned me for a threesome with his buddy. I declined, but gave him my phone number verbally instead. Somehow despite being so inebriated that his glasses were fogged up, he remembered my digits and called me later to ask me out for lunch. The only reason I accepted the date was because I wanted a free lunch.
What do you think? Is this really how I met the man of my dreams?

In other news, I spoke to the IVF nurse yesterday to let her know that we might be ready to move forward with a cycle ASAP if the FNA map shows sperm. She informed me that all of the testing that I had done for our IVF checklist "expired" in September. According to her, I'll have to repeat everything on the checklist before we can proceed.
Are you f'ing kidding me? That will add another $5,000 to our cost. I feel sick about it. I have that nasty sinking stomach feeling, and just want to scream obscenities at a god I don't even believe in.

This last week was hard, and I am so glad it is Saturday. However we made plans to visit some friends who have a one year old. We've done a great job at avoiding them all year, but finally ran out of excuses. For whatever reason, the thought of being around them with their perfect little boy makes me want to cry. The Travelers, good friends I've written about earlier, will also be at the party. Last I heard they were going to start 'trying' in June. I have this sick feeling that they are going to announce a pregnancy today. I wish we could cancel, instead I guess I have to rely on xanax.

Dear god, what testing can't stick???? BOYCOTT!! I am so sorry sweetie. It seems like it was a bad week all around. HUGS.
Ugh. I hate that testing repeat crap. What on earth do they want you to repeat? Hopefully you can talk them out of some of it. Good luck!
Oh, and I vote truth!
Ugh about the tests is right. It sucks that you have to re-do stuff every year, and it's not fair. I'm kind of glad that it's hard to get Jakobe to get in for blood tests - it means that we don't have to worry about them expiring anytime soon. I know that they warned us up front the the infectious disease testing and my pap and blood tests were only good for a year.
I like the virtual gathering idea too. How nice to have a mimosa poolside. If I was your doctor, I would prescribe that on a daily basis.
What disheartening news that you have to go through all the screening tests again. Argh!! And to have to make that social call on top of that. I hope there were moments of joy in your weekend to make up for the tense ones.
Foxy, what RE are you going to see? I assume you have already chosen one, but can I suggest Dr. Zouves of Zouves Fertility Clinic in Foster City? He is the BEST in the area and I am currently pregnant with twins because of him.
