DH's entire family for thinking it was a great idea to call us as we're on our way my in laws' house and tell us his cousin, who is fresh out of college, just got married in July and just bought a house last month, is KTFU. OF COURSE SHE IS, she's done everything else I worked years to accomplish in 5 months.. And of course they'd tell me on the phone as we're literally 10 min. away, completely oblivious that I might be hurt by hearing it. I officially hate the holidays.

WoW! That is a lot to hear on your way to a family gathering. I hope that didn't completely destroy your thanksgiving.

That's a lot to take in. I hope it didn't ruin your whole day.
TTC #1 since March 2011
BFP #1: EDD 4/16/13~~blighted ovum w/ 2 gestational sacs~~Loss on 9/18/12 BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
9/13, 10/13, 1/14: letrozole + trigger + TI = All BFNs
Maybe I'm being a baby about it, but I've used the excuse that I'm telecommuting today and shut myself upstairs in the guest room to get some work done. I can't stay up here all day, but I don't HAVE to be around everyone talking about babies and being so thankful all day either. I need a serious attitude adjustment
I hate that this is so cliche, but I'm really bummed about another pregnancy announcement. Last May, a friend/coworker who is 41, already has 4 kids (two teenagers and two under 3, she's effing fertility incarnate), told me about her latest pregnancy by inviting me to dinner, going to the bathroom in the middle of cooking, and coming out with a fresh wet positive peestick which she slapped on the kitchen table to show me - yup, before even telling her husband, no less. She's due right around my loss date, won't that be a treat. So I'm already having to more or less avoid her around work, although most times she means well she's pretty oblivious and open about everything, so pg/baby talk spews forth at any moment and I just can't handle it all the time.
Anyways, fast forward to today. At my age (40) I don't typically have to deal with lots of friends getting KU, FB or my circle of friends in general just aren't that kind of minefield thankfully. But this morning another friend/coworker (she's 40 too, we graduated together) pulled me into her office to tell me she's pg. She's had many m/c's and trouble TTC along the way before having her DS three years ago, so I'm truly very thrilled for her of course. I just feel so left behind, KWIM? My TP is actually for feeling this way, I hate hate HATE that someone else getting something they've worked so long and hard for can put me into such a tailspin. It doesn't help that she told me she had a dream that we were both pregnant together, and in the hospital having twins. I've been told so many times through the last year about dreams people have, certain things being signs, etc. and obviously none of them have really been signs at all, I don't even know what to do with that kind of comment anymore!

@natsfan84 - ((hugs)) I am sorry that DH's family did that to you. Some people just don't think or don't seem to care who they might hurt.
I would like to TP my SIL. She is avoiding all holidays because she doesn't get a long with my in laws, who are amazing, & basically told me & DH that she is upset we are TTC because she thinks our kids will take away from hers. She's also a bitch, plain & simple. I have tried SO hard to make friends with her, but she just can't seem to try on her end. I decided last night that I'm done & will stop trying. You can't fix stupid. Ahhhh... I feel SO much better!

TP to my SIL who in the middle of Thanksgiving grabbed my memorial necklace and said, quite loudly, "I've never seen that second charm before when did you get that?" She's a teenager but she knows about both miscarriages and the significance of the necklace/charms.

TP to my friend (who knew of my recent loss) who included me on the group text when she found out she was having a boy. Which happened to come through as I was peeing in a cup and having my blood drawn @ the OB to make sure my levels were going down. Really? Probably just bad timing but I'll put the TP out there anyway... Grr.
