I’ve got a golden ticket

I’m getting ready to start my first post miscarriage period. Or? Getting ready to do a pasty white, zit covered Veruca Salt impression. Could go either way.

All I want to do is sit on the couch with my friends Law and Order Nick Jr and watch the Monkey play quietly torment the dog.

He’s such a good and patient dog.

Instead we are driving 30 minutes in one direction to attend a 1 year olds pool party, then home. 10 minutes to change. Then drive 90 minutes in the other direction to attend a friends wedding reception.

This is indeed quite the opposite of what I would like to be doing.

But at least DaddyO and I have decided that once I start my period, or the Oompa Loompa’s roll me off to detox, we will book an appointment with the RE to start figuring out a schedule for our FET.

Current Mood: fat and murderous, yet hopeful.

Today in my TTC history – Followup

So, I was not blown away by the new Dr.  She was ok.  She was, in fact, very blunt. The way I heard it, she told me point blank that I am Old.  That anything over 35 is  old to be pregnant, and that I am WAY over that.

Or something like that.

She reminded us that a huge percentage of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Especially when you are as old as, say, I am.

It made me really miss my previous midwife who would laugh and say that 40 is the new 30, and then we would gossip about plastic surgery while he finished his exam. He would never have said, These Things Happen.

Which she did.

At which point my head ‘sploded.

I was pretty sure that because of her Dr Debbie Downer attitude to Oldies Trying To Breed, that DaddyO would close the book on the every trying again. And possibly lock it.  And immediately invest the $13 grand (quite wisely, I must admit) we would have spent on trying again.

My Favorite Comfort Food

My Favorite Comfort Food

My Favorite Comfort Food

A Bazzilion years ago, as an innocent college co-ed, when I first moved to The Big City, I didn’t know a soul. No one. I started studying at a coffee shop not far from my house and eventually befriended a bunch of the other students who studied there.

 

One of them, I’m not sure who, introduced me to the Vietnamese place down the street. I loved it immediately and ate there several times a week. It was cheap. As cheap as the local sandwich place, the neighborhood burrito shop, or the Chinese place down the street, but something about it felt a little more upscale then any of them. I took my girlfriend there. And my boyfriend. And one time, for some stupid reason, both of them at the same time.

I’m pretty sure I studied for every test I’ve ever taken there, eyes glued to a book, while shoveling rice noodles and imperial rolls into my hungry hole. Every thing was amazingly fresh and tasted so… bright and crisp. Eating there always made me feel so good because the food was so simple and healthy. Like it counteracted all the horrible things I was doing to my body.

Today in my TTC history

Today is

A.) the day I should have been 16 weeks pregnant.

B.) the one month anniversary of our miscarriage.

C.) the day I FINALLY get in to see my new Lady Dr for my first post miscarriage check up.

Seriously. They need to add a third option to the “is the dr accepting new patients?” Yes, No, and Yes, but she shouldn’t be. I picked her because of her stellar reviews. She better knock my socks off today.

As if today’s visit wasn’t already nerve racking enough, DaddyO has decided that IVF and pregnancy are scary and expensive and gut wrenchingly heart breaking. He would like to not do it again. He thinks he might know more after today’s visit.

I on the other hand feel like I won’t be ok until I’m pregnant again. I also don’t expect to learn anything at today’s visit, but piece of mind that my lady bits are ok would be nice.

Flakey People

Flakey People (Or click here to read about cute flakey NAKED snowmen)

I try to conduct my dungeon in a business like manner, even though this is a legally gray area business, and not something you generally tell people that you do when you first meet them, perhaps in a bar, at a friends happy hour …

“Hi, nice to meet you. I’m an accountant. I keep track of other peoples money, try to help them set a budget and do their taxes every April. What do you do?”

“Hi. I’m a Dominatrix. I work with people deepest, darkest fantasies. I help them enact things they are scared to tell their wives and girlfriends about. You know, like cross dressing, encasement bondage, play piercing, whipping… that sort of thing.”

“…….. duuuuuu…. ooohh… um….. ” Drink spilling, jaw dropping, eyes glazing over. “What do you put on your taxes?”

“What taxes?” *blink* *blink*

Just kidding! I put Entertainer.

Baby Johnny

Frilly Pink Panties for baby johnny

Frilly Pink Panties for baby johnny

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with baby johhny.

Awesome timing no?

I’ve been seeing him for ages.  I’m not sure why – I’m not all that into adult babies. Not that I don’t have fun with him, he’s a fun boy. He used to see another well known Mistress and he wanted to do a double with me. I was thrilled – I had met her, but never played with her. AND?! She was supposed to have an amazing dungeon.  I don’t know who was more excited – baby johnny or me!

Usually in this situation, the other Mistress would set every thing up and I would arrive promptly and do my best to keep up.  Mistress X, however, had just been accepted to Law School (The bar if RIFE with former Dominatrixes) and was very busy so I got to know baby johnny over several phone calls while setting our appointment up. In the end, Mistress X was too busy and it was just baby johny and I for the afternoon.

Miscarriage. The gift that keeps giving.

It’s been just over three weeks and I’m still an emotional mess. Srsly. When does this end?

I just did an all day adult baby session, and I’d much rather write about that, and I’m sure you’d much rather read about that, but here I am. Still obsessing about what went wrong and what I could have done differently.

The bottom. We’re not there yet.

So Friday, after arriving at the Drs office for my long awaited two week post miscarriage  check up, to find out that the Dr had just left -to deliver a baby- and I was going to be rescheduled, for the 28th, the one month anniversary of my miscarriage, I had a little cry in the parking lot.

I cried about miscarriage, and the fact that DaddyO, after watching me nearly bleed to death in the ER is not sure he wants to try again, and his being unemployed since March meaning my dreams of being a stay at home mom  of two are melting away, revealing the reality of my being a working mom of one. I had a good cry about everything that just seemed to be going wrong lately and finally, when I was done, came home and started a blog post about how we simply have to be at the bottom of this cycle. About how things have to turn around now. Because really, how much worse could they get?

Fake Sugar Bites

Artificial Sweeteners

Artificial Sweeteners

Here’s a great article about artificial sweeteners. DaddyO and I are far from Health Freaks, neither of us has seen the inside of a gym, except on accident, in years.  But we do like to stay healthy in our own way.

We are huge whole food freaks.  We try to eat organic and/or local whenever possible, and stay away from process foods.  High Fructose Corn Syrup is something we especially hate and it’s in Freaking Everything. Bread. Yogurt, Salad Dressing, Ketchup, Jam… and even in what are supposed to be The Healthy Side of the isle at the grocery store – fruit juices and cereals are nearly impossible to find without HFCS – even the brands you think of as the healthy choices.  On the front of the container it’s touting it’s whole grain, cholesterol lowering, weight loss lowering abilities, but if you look at the ingredients… High Fructose Corn Syrup features prominently.  Did you know that fat free half and half (Yes! It exists! See what I learn when the evil in-laws are here?) Is half skim milk and half HFCS?

Back in the Saddle Again

Back In The Saddle

Back In The Saddle

Today was my first day back in the dungeon since before we lost the baby.  Actually, between the morning sickness, and the sleepiness and travel, I’d not been there is about two months.  Driving in I was really worried.  Being a Domme requires a lot of mental fortitude that I wasn’t sure I possesed right now.  Bursting into tears for no apparent reason is definately NOT top material.

Thankfully, when I’m in the dungeon, I’m in my Mistress persona, and Mistress ALWAYS has a great time.  How is Mistress?  She is AWESOME!  She has nothing but the best stuff and does nothing but the funnest distractions. Life is filled with willing slaves who fulfill her EVERY need. She certainly wouldn’t have such horrible thing as a miscarriage!

*sigh* I wish.

I nearly lost it at the very begining when I checked my twitter feed and saw the story about The Daddy Files confronting abortion protesters on his way into his wife’s medically necessary D&C.  Seriously.  Why scream at someone on the worst day of their life?  Why make such a sad personal situation confrontational?? That video alone made me donate to Planned Parenthood.
