Infertility can create misunderstandings

I've been meaning to post about this for some time but it kind of ticked me off and I felt that it would be better to post about it once I calmed down. I can now look at the situation with a bit of humor so here ya go!

As part of the mock cycle I was on estrogen patches and then we added PIO later. I was on estrogen patches for about three weeks and even though I started on only one patch per day I ended up on four patches at any given moment. The clinic suggested that I place the patches on my lower belly but I didn't find them to be comfortable there. So I moved them. I placed them on my lower back and on my bottom. Yes I put the stupid patches on my butt. I had to change them every other day and you're not supposed to put them over the same location so I had to get creative and start moving them around. Once the patches are removed they leave a little mark around the perimeter where the adhesive attracted lint and whatever else. I was getting dressed one morning after my shower and Paul remarks to me, "you should really clean your butt!" EXCUSE ME?!? Let's think before we speak, shall we? After a swift chewing out he explained that all he meant was the adhesive was left on my backside. Hmpf! That could have been better phrased don't you think?

Everyone is pretty pleased that my hormones have leveled out...including myself.

Hey!
I found ya. I'd been wondering why you hadn't posted in a long while- turns out my blog feeds were hooked up to your old address.

This is a funny story- don't worry; I'm sure your butt is spic and span!
-D.

Glad to see you back on the BSBB! We missed ya!! My DH has said some equally thoughtless (not intentionally of course) things...sometimes I think they forget to turn on their brain before they speak :-)
