Tons of ~ma to bonny.
sj, I'm glad you have the appointment. Those were the same stats we were given when we moved from IUIs to IVF (though I was 38 at the time). Here's hoping you just need a teensy bit of assistance and BOOM - pregnant!
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I need a scorecard to keep up with all those mates. Maybe a Venn diagram? Flow chart? I'd be happy with just one gf. Jeez people.
For me, actually finding someone and getting to know each other and figuring out if we're compatible is the hardest part of a relationship. I just can't imagine getting through all that, and getting to the comfortable part of a relationship, and then actually wanting to go through the hellish part again with someone else.

Teppy, I'm sorry you're caught in the middle of such a difficult situation.

Thanks, Glamcookie. I'm hoping that is the case as well. TCG and I are both worried about multiples if we end up having to go the IVF route, which I know you understand. I'm not sure I could handle that, so I'm hoping we don't have to make that decision.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Not presenting this as anything more than a "so that happened" story, but: my supervisor and his wife went the IVF route. They successfully transferred two embryos; then one of them split, and she gave birth to triplets (two of them identical twins).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't know how they do it without a Franklin Planner.
That's one of the reasons why I can't imagine embracing the poly route. The other reason is that any twinge of jealousy and my erotic attraction turns off completely, and I'm pretty sure that feelings of jealousy are part and parcel of poly relationships.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Follow-up on my exciting life, for everyone waiting breathlessly by the computer: I told Borrowing Woman that I had a bad experience lending out clothes, so I decided to lay down an across-the-board rule to not lend to anyone. (It's true; I did have a bad experience, with HER. Fortunately she didn't ask me for details.)
She was kind of pouty, but I said "I *really* appreciate you understanding!" and that was basically that.
Boundaries FTW.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should have told her that you have an across-the-board rule on not dealing with anyone who is so predictable.

Ha! I did roll my eyes when she started her spiel with "I was wondering..."

Ha Steph! You were so right.
