Anything really get to you this week?

nicosh8

So yesterday I was feeling a little bummed nearing the end of my 2WW and seeing a bfn. Plus there is a lot of crazy going on in my personal life and I'm feeling overly emotional. In the afternoon I get a text from an old coworker who I talk to Maybe once or twice a year. She says " I have news!"
Now I am expecting her to tell me she got a promotion or is transferring or something along those lines. Nope.
Next thing I know... A picture of a positive pee stick came up. ..
Uh what ...
Well for some reason this pushed me over the edge and I went to the restroom and cried (at work)
I'm over it this morning but still find the fact she did that incredibly strange and irritating because we aren't even good friends or anything!

Would you like to bitch or whine about anything!? Feel free to post here! Happy Friday ladies!

Edit: because I wrote "wine" instead of "whine"
Wine on the brain I guess.

My SIL had her first ultrasound yesterday. She sent me the pic of the little bean and the video of her telling her DH. I'm happy for her, but it hurts since we would have both been due in Nov15.

Creepy internet hugs to you both @nicoash88 and @crogers19.

This week has been difficult. A lot of small things have gone wrong and add that with a tough week at work (a co-worker just came and bitched at me even though she' s the idiot who can't do things correctly) and I'm just done. If I can survive to 4:30 it'll be a minor miracle and the weekend will hopefully lift my spirits. I just need a break - I'd totally like to hibernate (on a beach) for a month. Then I think I could feel better.

rel1988

@crogers19 that's so tough I'm sorry for your loss. Hoping next month brings a BFP!

missteacherlady16

I'm just cranky in general. We're in state testing season at work too which is making me extra angsty. The BFN this morning didn't help either.

Baby bump pictures all over FB.  Stop torturing me, world!

Hugs to all! This sounds frustrating.

OK, so I need to explain some stuff first. I work with an organization that gets referrals from our Community Mental Health (CMH) organization. The CMH typically has our clients for psychiatric services. A client can only have psychiatric services from CMH if they have another service, like therapy or case management, in place. If we want to close a client, then, we need approval from the psychiatrist.

I have a family that I have already had two conversations about the importance of meeting. I've offered them a less intensive service. They have refused that multiple times, but continue to cancel on me. I have twice now gone a full month without seeing the kid. I'm supposed to see them twice a week. Today I will be having this conversation for the third time and the family still won't switch services and the psychiatrist won't let me close! So frustrating! I'm liable for this kid and I'm not even meeting with him!

@crogers19 I'm so sorry. Hugs xx

Yesterday my BFF shoved her phone in my face at lunch and on it was a positive test and she says "Guess whose this is?" I just stared at her dumbfounded, since she knows that 2ish weeks ago i MC. I didn't know what to say and she says its another friend our ours who wasn't TTC and somehow that pissed me off more. Then she told me to not be bitter and let it go. Um F*K U! How can someone be so insensitive??

linny4

Sorry ladies I'm right there with ya. Throwing myself a pity party today. Going for my acupuncture treatment today otherwise I'd stay in bed probably crying all day. Feeling Really defeated.

That's awful. I'm sorry Honestly, doesn't sound like a very good friend to be that insensitive. ::hugs::

@NovemberBaby2 That is terrible! I'm sorry. Hugs xx

FrancesGrace630

DH and I work opposite shifts, and on top of that, I work a normal M-F, and he works 4 days on, 2 days off, so once every six weeks we have an actual weekend together. I feel like I never see him. And it sucks. 

mrs3615

Creepy internet hugs to all.

So sorry @nicoash88 - that is just plain rude. Period. 

@crogers19 - huge creepy hug to you. That must be hard! 

@missteacherlady16 - I'm sorry!! FX for you for the rest of this cycle.   I was cranky after my BFN too, even though I very much anticipated it given my lack of temping and this damn illness. 

@NovemberBaby2  - ummm super shitty. I'm so sorry! So effing rude. 

I'm generally cranky today. I usually get this way with AF, and finals + this down-south situation that I am STILL waiting on results from has me feeling not so attractive. Also, I have some family stuff that is just irritating in general. I think in some weird way, if I'm not pregnant, I just want AF to hurry up and show her face so I can indulge in some comfort coffee, booze and sushi, and start a new cycle.

You showed a world of restraint by not taking her phone and smashing it on the ground.  She should actually thank you.

I had a down day yesterday.  Just a general sadness I couldn't shake.  It wasn't one thing but a culmination of many things that have happened over the last year.  I'm in a bad life cycle right now as far as tragedies and sadness.

I'm trying to lift myself up today and shake out of it. Positive outlook and attitude.  Plus it's Friday so that doesn't hurt either.

Sorry for everyone's struggles.  Hugs to all!

WTF?!?! I would have smacked her...

My BFF is involved in relationship drama & feels like this dude is her last shot for a baby. Never mind that the relationship makes her miserable.

My bro just got out of a ten year relationship & is having a hard time adjusting to life on his own.

I found out that a poster I knew on here from before The Great Exodus passed away from the cancer she was fighting this morning. FUCK CANCER.

I think I need to rehome one of my dogs. We rescued him at the end of January - it was a craigslist thing, the people wanted $1 for him.

He wasn't fixed, had no manners, was overweight, and we found evidence that they were abusing him. He's a sweet boy - just over a year old and so affectionate. We've gotten him fixed, he's learned his name (can you believe he was so neglected he didn't even know his name?), lost weight, and learned some basic manners. He's come a long way in 3 months.

The problem is he won't stop chasing and attacking our cats, who are now terrified and traumatized and haven't come out from under the bed. We had the cats first and it's not fair to them. I really think one day he will kill them.

We've been quietly putting the word out that we may need a new home (without cats or small animals), and we have a really excellent lead on a family that's looking for a pup just like him and it might be perfect, but still.

Sigh.

nicosh8

@Jessie42613 I'm sorry to hear that. That cannot be easy. FX that you can find him the perfect home though. xx

Hugs to all you ladies! Seems like it's been a crap week for the lot of us. DH is going through an interview process for a job that would mean relocating to another state. I love my job, my friends and can't imagine being so far from family while TTC/having a baby. He said he thinks he bombed the first phone interview and I felt like a terrible unsupportive wife for being secretly relieved.

On top of that, been getting lots of "advice" from friends lately. One said "it'll happen when you aren't trying" as she was bouncing her unplanned, fatherless 7 month old on her lap. Another said "don't be desperate for it or it will never happen." And then there's my DH's cousin (who, on a good day, makes me want to kick her in the teeth) who says "you'll be pg in no time! It only took me 2 months!" As she sends me invites for midwife meet and greets, and includes me in group chats with her mommy groups on FB.

And the inlaws wonder why I've been awol since February.

nicosh8

@PrimRoseMama I'm sorry for your loss. Agreed- Fuck Cancer!

Spalex

I'm so sorry ladies! Hugs to everyone.

Well, yesterday I went to see the dermatologist about a rash, turns out I have a virus called pityriasis rosea. It can cause miscarriage and preterm labor. Doc told me to skip this month of ttc! Unfortunately, I think I'm at least 1dpo :-< So now I'm trippin until AF shows and will be side eyeing any BFPs. On to the next month...

crogers19

@primrosemama sorry prim, that must hurt.

firebaby688

Fuck cancer indeed! So sorry for your loss

kmcc14

My DH has been interviewing for a new job that would be a great move for his career and a big bump in pay.  The process has taken FOREVER.  Seriously, like 2 months.  He finally got a verbal offer on Wednesday, and they told him he would get the official offer letter the next day.  Two days later, still no offer letter.  He called yesterday, and they were like "oh yeah we've been really busy and haven't sent it yet."  WTF people.  It's already been 2 months, and I don't think a verbal offer means squat until you actually get that official letter.  I am so f*ing sick of waiting.

Scout27

@primrosemama I'm so sorry for your loss - fuck cancer! Earlier this week we found out our good friend's dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The family is still in a state of shock over the news. 

@novemberbaby2 - WTF?! It sounds like you handled the situation with a lot more grace than I think I could have mustered! It's certainly not bitter to not want a picture of someone's pee stick shoved in your face a couple weeks after mc-ing. Wow.

Creepy internet hugs to all of you...what a week. 

Rabbitheart15

Fuck cancer indeed! It took an acquaintance of mine too this week.

Creepy internethugs tot all of you.

I've had this major headache for days, AF, hayfever, exhausted, stressed out over deadlines.And guess what? Turns out we have a big leak at home. Praying this doesn't mean a twenty grand bathroom renovation.

mrskal

I got this invite for a baby shower, and somehow it was difficult for me to attend, she is my cousin, and I started ttc two months back, so she wAs already pregnant that time, I searched old posts here and decided to wear the big girl panties and go, tried to tell myself there are not a limited amount of babies and my fertility does not mean anything,

So I land up there, and there is this stupid game, about the baby, the conceiving, the father and all that jazz,
She Somehow had sex only once in that month and she is pregnant, she was travelling most of the time, she rubbed it into my face- only one shot, only one shot, only one shot so many times that I couldn't stand being there, she knows I am ttc now, why are people like that?
I am happy for her, but is it too much to ask for to be considerate

VesperLove

Ugh ... cancer seriously sucks. Way too many people, way too close to home, way too often. Creepy internet hugs @PrimRoseMama.

As for me, this week has been exhausting. I am so ready for it to be over. No huge complaints aside from the fact that I don't really know what my job is right now and that makes it really difficult/annoying to be at work. We run a program from Jan to June (that I basically run) that is super busy the first few months but then the participants basically dictate what they need from me. There are 12 of them and I basically sit around and wait for them to come to me with questions about their projects and stuff. I have other small tasks right now but nothing pressing compared to how busy and insane my job has been for the last year ... so I feel like I'm sitting around ALL THE TIME. My boss acts like I'm SUPER busy and is always asking me if I feel too overloaded. Um, no? I guess it's a good thing - job security and all when I'm watching the lasted episode of the Flash on my Kindle at my desk ... but seriously, that's not the type of workday I like. I like to stay busy and have the day go quickly rather than sit around waiting for something to do.

So looking forward to my massage tonight and a couple days away from the office. Maybe I can regroup and create some projects for myself to start next week off right ... but for today I'm just doing nothing. Again.

I lost my grandfather last weekend, fck cancer.
So sorry for your loss @primrosemama

Very sorry to hear about your loss @primrosemama - it's never easy

On a different note - I'm actually really freaking annoyed about my taxes and my AWOL accountant. Our tax return was auto deposited into my account two weeks ago and it was $600 more than our accountant told us - I've tried reaching him since them since all the math adds up and as much as I hate admitting it, that $600 doesn't belong to us. 

Not to mention that I think he ALSO goofed up on my local taxes, having me owe my township over $500 - all my research has made me more savvy to taxes than I was 3 months ago and I refuse to pay this amount. Maybe if I try calling him once a week and leave a message he'll get back to me? Oh, I already did that. 

FemShep

Yikes. I'm so sorry for your loss, @PrimRoseMama. And @NovemberBaby2 , your BFF sounds more like a bitch than a best. I want to punch her on your behalf.

Sounds like it's been a rough week for everyone, here's hoping the weekend brings an improvement.

rel1988

@kyleum13 ahhhhh massage......I need one soon!!!

OK, this has me very ill-feeling. If it's who I think it is, I will cry at work. Can you PM me?

This week has been a nightmare. This is my first cycle trying and the TWW is no fun. My office mate and I have been butting heads and finally I blew up on her on Monday and I requested a meeting with my boss so I can tell her all the ways she sucks and makes my job horrible. Well she is a condescending witch so that got us no where. I have worked 16 hr shifts this past 3 days to help out the homes at our agency because they are short handed so I have had 7 hours sleep in 2 days. My mom calls this morning (we live 3 hrs from each other) to tell me they found a mass in her breast and she has extremely elevate white blood cell count. 5 years ago we heard the same thing and it was stage 3b breast cancer-aggressive type. She beat it with chemo and radiation but now this mass is in her other breast she chose not to have removed and says if it is cancer she will not treat it. (Pray for her and my family please). I have not consumed alcohol in 2 months preparing to TTC (my choice) but a crown apple and sprite sounds like what's for dinner. I may test even though I think it is too soon (9 DPO) just to make myself feel better about how drunk I am going to get!
