Gargy, you have had a rough trott lately thats for sure - but you sound positive and thats a blessing. Hope all goes well with your sperm donor and thankyou for your kind wishes. Best of luck
I have good and bad days. At least I have a definition now as to why it's happening.
Funnily enough, I'm finding going back to the chiro has helped - I hurt my lower back while marking, and the first session was really painful, but yesterday's somehow released some of my darker mood (strange huh??)
Got a funny DI story to tell that I'm sure you'll appreciate...
I paid for the sperm test for our SD and the IVF clinic told me that I could go to Medicare (public health care system) to get a rebate. So I trotted down to my local centre to do the paperwork.
My number comes up and I am served. Now my SD's name is on the top of the account. The customer service person asked me in an accusing voice (as if I am trying to pull a fast one) "Who is this person?" I said quite matter of factly "Well, actually it's our sperm donor." Of course, this just happens to be the time when there is a break in the general noise in the room, and the lady next to me half turns to listen. That's when I start to go red.
I have never seen someone run so fast to their supervisor as this woman did. The supervisor, who had obviously dealt with this before, just told her what to do. The officer couldn't look me in the face. We both dealt with the paperwork as if I had not said anything. Then I left.
It's amazing what things you never even think will be a problem can floor you! I told this story because I knew you would all understand.
Oh gargy - so sorry to hear about the Medicare office fiasco. Only people on the fertility rollercoaster can really understand everything we have to go through.
Being single and using an anonymous SD has it's sticky moments (sorry for the pun! LOL! ). I've been at Medicare when they've asked why my husband and I aren't on the same Medicare card? When I've had local blood tests and scans, they always ask questions about hubby and I! It can be a mine-field out there sometimes - and simply because we are not doing things the 'traditional' way. I'd even be happy to do things the 'traditional' way but Mother Nature has sent me on a different path so at the moment it's just about coping as best as possible with the situation we've been put in.
