Hi Chloe
Bosses in this world just sucks lor. Its the reality. When you can work non stop for them, everything good lor. Once you need to be away, be it MC or maternity, all sorts of rubbish comes. I work in one of the so call good US MNC, have a good direct boss but sucker lady big boss. She pretends to be v understanding but will push my direct boss to produce, knowing that she is short handed and will try to ask my direct boss abt how am I & etc. I think after my ectopic, she prob know i am ttc & want to maybe 'stage' her plans accordingly. SO i always tell my boss not to tell her things... just say i lost one tube & still recovering. There are many ways for them to be nasty. My this big boss more high end politics, use someone to manage. My direct boss q poor thing, so i try to be as supportive, but this type of place u know cant stay long.
I always tell myself at certain stage, we have to make the decision lor. I believe expenses can be managed if we really not work for a period, so we shldnt let job pose a threat to us as much as we can. For eg, living witin your means consistently and having savings when you are working. So when you need to throw the card, do it. But again, just tell yourself to try your best managing work & ttc, also dun want to let company off so easy, but have that triumph card every time. One you can mentally tell yourself that, u may realise you can cope better. That is at least how I feel.
Anyway, its fine for you to vent it here Chloe if it makes u feel better. 16mm wont come out yet. I read research before on this & it says that normal woman will ovulate at 16-18mm, while stimulated woman's egg must reach at least 21mm before it shld b released as a 'standard'.
Actually, dun blame hubby. Think he has your interest at heart. At least he fair, both sides also don't go. Some hubbies stil want wives to entertain MIL... lagi xian esp when you are feeling moody. You are right, u are prob experiencing some mood wings cos of medication.. so ur feelings are understandable.
As for sperm, my huuby say fresher better. Instead of running to & fro, why dont ur hubby do it at home & then send you & his sperm to the hospital? Can ask him consider the handicap toilet outside Dr Foong clinic. Q big space ... for him & no disturbance too...
As for me, stil have some right side pain, so I am not totally at ease yet with fear of another ectopic. I also went for HCG test this morning. Results was 698, so Dr Foong says it looks ok as it has doubled in 2 days, but cannot cfm still if its ectopic. Need to scaon next friday to determine position then at ease. Cos I have no reasons for my 1st ectopic (meaning not a result of scar tissues / pelvic infammatory or etc), so chances of another one is higher.. so still have to be careful. So i think i will 'worry' till friday.. then following friday will have to worry abt if can hear heartbeat a not? just have to move one step at a time lor.
No morning sickness yet, just sleepy. No craving too.. dare not eat, scared fat, so watch what i eat. Yesterday a bit nauseas, but never throw out. 2day ok leh.. yesterday i still prepare big time steamboat dinner at home for my MIL & my hubby's brothers & wives to 'celebrate' mothers day. 2morrow my own mother will come... so wil prepare mini 'buffet'.. try to keep myself occupied and cheerful & hope that things will be fine.

Dont think so much of your sucker boss. Off ur mobile phone so he cannot contact you... and concentrate on IVF. Money is one thing but at this pt, it is a critical stage of our lives & try not to let 'umimportant' characters affect you. You will be fine.. let us know your progress.
