H told MIL back in July that we were trying because she asked and he didn't know better. They will be coming to visit for the holidays and I am just dreading her realizing I'm still not pregnant. I like MIL but we are NOT close. She doesn't even know my phone number I don't think. We don't chat, I don't confide in her. We see each other like once a year and I enjoy those times, but that's it. At least she doesn't know we actually started trying in April...
@antoto That's really tough. Maybe she'll be kind and supportive - and surprise you.
I am working from home today because of the presidential debate tonight (not trying to manage the public transit situation at the same time!). Thought I was free and clear but now the gas company is doing very loud construction outside my apartment building. UGH. Today? Really? I have to mute myself on calls.
@antoto if she asks just give her a really weird look and be like "no, we never started trying. I'm not sure why DH said that." That should weird her out enough to make her drop it lol. Or just burst into tears. Hopefully she's smart enough to not mention it at all!
@adirat UGH nothing more frustrating than trying to make calls with tons of background noise!
I posted most of this in WTO, but what the heck. I'm in a super bitchy mood.
I'm just getting over being sick. I very rarely get sick, so I can't complain too much, but it happened right after we got back from our FL trip. So, I don't feel like I ever really got back into the swing of things after vacation, and now I feel like I'm behind on everything. And, despite us doing our utter best to have very little contact, DH seems to be coming down with the virus I have/had (yes, I know that most viruses are airborne, but we at least had to try). Most loving wives would be all concerned and caring, and I'm just over here getting annoyed that now we'll be even MORE behind on finishing the house. AND, FW is coming up and I doubt he'll be interested in BDing while he feel like crap. Not to mention that he might go out of town during FW.
Oh, and my mom is visiting in about 2 weeks, and we totally have NOTHING ready for her to visit. Our house is SO CLOSE to being finished, but now my BIL asked DH to help him work on his house 4 hours away (hence going out of town during FW). Not a big deal except, like I said, we're SO CLOSE to being done with our house, but we need to get some stuff ready for my mom to visit.
This week is just UGH. Thanks for letting me vent!
@antoto I would be upset about that too. I don't want anyone to know that we're TTC. I don't need the added stress/ pressure of people asking how it's going or if I'm KU "yet". Believe me, there's more than enough BSC inside my head.
@adirat Sorry about the construction noise! I know your pain all too well. The building I work in was under construction for 18 months. So annoying!
The lady in the cube next to me will not STFU. She talks to herself all day long and narrates everything she is doing or is about to do. It's obnoxious and distracting -- particularly on a cloudy, gross Monday.

JulesD20431 - I hate when coworkers are inconsiderate to others around them gahhhhh! A girl in our office who makes the rounds complaining about her projects/clients just returned from maternity leave. Funny thing is, I am pretty sure she annoys everyone, my boss included, so her desk got moved to the "garden level" - also known as the basement.
So I'm not sure if any of you remember about me posting a week or so ago about my "sister" (cousin) being "late"? She was freaking out and SS and refusing to take a test. Well I was venting to her today about how I feel out this cycle and don't even feel like testing. She actually told me to "stop over analyzing, and charting and tracking. Just stop trying". Are you fking kidding me? I couldn't even respond to her. I might be being over sensitive about this but it really made me mad/hurt my feelings. She's the only person IRL that I have fully been able to open up to about this whole process.
@shstephenson Hugs. That's so tough. I hope she doesn't realize how insensitive that is but what an awful and ignorant thing to say. Also anyone who SS and won't take a test gets my permanent side eye.
This may be more of an UO, and I think it's been said before, but....
While I LOVE the new weekly BFP thread, and think it serves a great purpose, I CANNOT KEEP DEALING WITH THE ONE LINER SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE RESPONSES THERE. You guys, it says RIGHT IN THE BODY OF THE OP that a love-tit means "H&H 9 months" or similar, so YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPLY "H&H 9 MONTHS" OR SIMILAR.
It annoys me that I see new responses in that thread, and go in there hoping to see new BFPs, and instead it's just a bunch of tagged responses. Don't get me wrong, I did this once myself before I read the actual OP, but don't we all think it would be easier to follow the rules: love-tit if you have a simple "congrats" type message, reply if you have a question for someone with a BFP, and send a PM if you consider those people to be friends and want to personally congratulate them?
I know I seem like a curmudgeon here, but selfishly my life would be way easier if I only clicked on that thread when there were actual new BFPs reported. I guess after 4ish months of regular activity on this board, I can now consider myself a regular because this kind of thing is starting to annoy me...haha.
Also sidebar: I wasn't in the TWW until today and apparently there are now a number of Pee Parties that I knew nothing about...boo. I hope people want to have one next Monday because that's when I'm planning to test. :-)
@delujm0 Since this point was brought up a few weeks ago, I've stopped replying just to wish congrats to those who got their BFPs. Every time I see a new response, I get excited thinking that there was another from the POAS part and it's just more congrats.

I felt the exact same way and totally put my thoughts in FFFC and UO. But then nothing changed and I just gave up and I even sometimes put in a one liner when I felt a strong connection to the person/people.
The whole pee party thing in general annoys me, esp today. Just test when you need or want to test. This isn't a lifetime movie special, we don't all have to do it together. Waiting until a specific day will not impact whether or not you'll get a BFP. It's like a crappy game of musical chairs only there may or may not even be any chairs at all when the music stops.
maybe i was just traumatized by a game of musical chairs as a child or something....
@antoto- FX your MIL isn't too nosy. Luckily my MIL doesn't ask because she knows if there's something to tell, we will tell.
@adirat - That sucks. I've had to do that before. The plus side is if someone says / asks something "stupid" or that was just talked about, they can't hear you groan lol
@LuND - I hear you. Seems like every time DH and I are close to finishing something with the apartment something happens and we never finish and have to start over. Good luck catching up.
@JulesD20431 - I can't begin imagining dealing with that. I'd have a headache.
@lmc929 - I laughed at the term garden level for basement. Not sure why - just found it hilarious. Lol. Maybe I need caffeine.
@shstephenson - I'm sorry she's acting like that. If it were me, I'd stop talking to her if she can't be supportive - especially since she refused to POAS

I saw 23 (or something like that) responses to the thread when I got on, and thought there had to be at least 10 people who got their BFPs. I was so excited to see who all graduated so far. Obviously happy about the two who have so far, and hopefully we have plenty more, but...
My Monday BF is the 30 minute drive to campus for a 10 minute "meeting" with my professor, so she could tell me "I'm not worried about you, you'll do fine". This could've been covered in email, and saved me the gas. Although I did get a Starbucks iced coffee from the vending machine afterward, so... silver lining? That and my doctor not having any same-day appointments open until 4:45. If I wanted to be squeezed in to a super quick appointment right before closing today, I definitely could. Yeah, no.

Eff. That. I tried to get a Wednesday meeting instead of the one today, because I actually have another class Wednesday evening so I wouldn't be wasting my gas, I'd just be hanging around campus all day. But, of course, everyone signed up for Wednesday and I was one of the last ones to the sign up sheet. If I was a college professor and had a day dedicated to meeting with students, I would tell the "good" students what they needed to know over email, and only make the ones that were struggling come in and actually talk face-to-face.
We literally went over the essays I've written so far and she told me that "clear" means I made my point clear and no writing means it was so on point she didn't have anything to say. And that, with my grades so far and my writing, she has no doubt that I'll pass with flying colours. Look - I just covered that unnecessary meeting in two sentences.
ETA: words. I can write essays but can't write a post on TB. *sigh*

Dang I'm surprised anyone is bothered by pee parties. I mean it's obviously not in any way mandated so go ahead and pee whenever you want, girl. We all know something like a pee party doesn't change whether or not we are KU. I think it can sometimes be a way for women who get tempted to test too early - but wish they didn't - to hold off until a test would be reliable. Testing time for me is getting more and more depressing with each month and it seemed like a way to try to have fun with it. But that's just me.
@antoto I'm with you -- pee parties help me hold off on testing. Even though I know I shouldn't, I want to. I also have a husband who in our second cycle said, "How long do you wait to test, like three days?" (meaning 3dpo) so I can use the extra willpower since neither he nor I have much of it!
So much worse than my complaining about the construction noise this morning -- I called my gynecologist's office to schedule a mid-cycle ultrasound, which she had recommended to see if my severe ovulation pain is caused by an endometrioma, and the receptionist said there was no note about it in my chart so I can't schedule it. WHAT. I got my CD3 bloodwork done today no problem. I know in the scheme of things waiting another cycle to schedule this ultrasound is not a big deal but get yourself organized, office.
ugh! Im a newb! I haven't been here since 2011. Now I'm TTC and this is a whole new game. I feel so lost looking at the boards, but want to bitch about my pee stick. I peed to early now im in a funk and think im out. ALSO I ordered stuff online for my kids and it says delivered but I never got it and the seller doesn't give af. so im just out my money and she's being a bitch. And I have a awful cold. somebody save me
This is long and ramble-y and I'm aware I may get flamed for my accusations here. but please understand that I know the person I'm dealing with, as does DH... I'm not making this up and it's not jealousy.
Ok, so. DH's ex faked a pregnancy way back in march-april of this year. Told DSS about it when she would have been a few weeks (not smart in my opinion... whatever) so she would have been due around dec 2016-jan 2017. Flashforward to this past weekend and digging online for court. We come across a baby registry (popped up with her name from a google search) which states that she is due march 2017. Which would put her having conceived in june. (Yes, I know. way too much digging, it makes me seem crazy, but its to build a case for stability... physical and mental...)
I just saw her on saturday. this is a woman who had a pregnancy (which she terminated) prior to dss. then dss in 2009. then a "miscarriage" with her boyfriend at the time while she and dh were still married (yes she claims that DH had an affair with me......) and THEN the "miscarriage" back in april. That would bring her to her 5th pregnancy- each of which have been at least 4 months long (short of dss, obviously he was full term) having had 3 pregnancies- 1 m/s, then full term, 2nd m/c i popped a little very early on- I'm just saying this. I know everyone's body is different, but you don't have 5 pregnancies that are that long without a little body change pretty early on. She was wearing her same, painted on jeans (which she is far too large for. I'm on the fatter side of life, I dont wear things to accentuate my rolls...) there is no chance that she is almost 4 months pregnant (again....) she does things like this to get attention (possible munchhausen, she also projects on dss) and to try to get sympathy from the court when things aren't going as planned......
I'm kind of over it. Like, seriously. if she spent half as much time getting a job and getting her life in order as she did on coming up with stories like this she would be a halfway decent person (maybe lol)
Alright. Rant over I guess

@sugarangel77 Start at the Newbie Guide and the top of the page!! Welcome.
My Monday Bitchfest is about DH. I love him, but he drives me crazy sometimes. 3 weeks ago our neighbor came to our door asking for our share of the bill for the street light ($40/year). This was around 4-4:30, I was home but I knew DH was still at his desk. I told our neighbor that I'd have DH stop at the ATM on his way home so I wouldn't have to write a check. I called DH and asked if he stop for cash then drop the money off next door and he said, "Sure, no problem".
Flash forward to last Thursday: DH hands me $40 and says, "Here's the money for [neighbor]". WTF Dude!? You said you'd take care of it.
@antoto@adirat I agree that the "pee party" is just a way to help me with my willpower. I remember having one the first month I temped and while there was one BFP, it was nice to have company when I got the BFN. Misery loves company is real (at least for me. Does that make me a bad person?)
@delujm0 I'm guilty of having commented on the BFP thread maybe twice in my 3-4 months on the board, and that was mainly because I felt a stronger connection to the people in question. I never considered sending them a PM instead, which is a good suggestion/ alternative. Also, I'm pretty sure we are cycle buddies this month (I'm on CD22) and while I'm less than sure of my DPO this cycle, I was planning to test on Monday. I'm definitely in for a pee party on that day They help hold me accountable.
Definitely cramping up and I think I'm out. So I'm bitching about not getting to be a part of any pee party this cycle. Maybe next time. I really wanted AF to hold out until the 10/1 party. Ugh Monday+possible CD1+short luteal phase=bitch bitch bitch.
Re: Monday Bitchfest 9/26

We literally went over the essays I've written so far and she told me that "clear" means I made my point clear and no writing means it was so on point she didn't have anything to say. And that, with my grades so far and my writing, she has no doubt that I'll pass with flying colours.
Look - I just covered that unnecessary meeting in two sentences.
ETA: words. I can write essays but can't write a post on TB. *sigh*

So much worse than my complaining about the construction noise this morning -- I called my gynecologist's office to schedule a mid-cycle ultrasound, which she had recommended to see if my severe ovulation pain is caused by an endometrioma, and the receptionist said there was no note about it in my chart so I can't schedule it. WHAT. I got my CD3 bloodwork done today no problem. I know in the scheme of things waiting another cycle to schedule this ultrasound is not a big deal but get yourself organized, office.
ugh! Im a newb! I haven't been here since 2011. Now I'm TTC and this is a whole new game. I feel so lost looking at the boards, but want to bitch about my pee stick. I peed to early now im in a funk and think im out. ALSO I ordered stuff online for my kids and it says delivered but I never got it and the seller doesn't give af. so im just out my money and she's being a bitch. And I have a awful cold. somebody save me

This is long and ramble-y and I'm aware I may get flamed for my accusations here. but please understand that I know the person I'm dealing with, as does DH... I'm not making this up and it's not jealousy.
Ok, so. DH's ex faked a pregnancy way back in march-april of this year. Told DSS about it when she would have been a few weeks (not smart in my opinion... whatever) so she would have been due around dec 2016-jan 2017. Flashforward to this past weekend and digging online for court. We come across a baby registry (popped up with her name from a google search) which states that she is due march 2017. Which would put her having conceived in june. (Yes, I know. way too much digging, it makes me seem crazy, but its to build a case for stability... physical and mental...)
I just saw her on saturday. this is a woman who had a pregnancy (which she terminated) prior to dss. then dss in 2009. then a "miscarriage" with her boyfriend at the time while she and dh were still married (yes she claims that DH had an affair with me......) and THEN the "miscarriage" back in april. That would bring her to her 5th pregnancy- each of which have been at least 4 months long (short of dss, obviously he was full term) having had 3 pregnancies- 1 m/s, then full term, 2nd m/c i popped a little very early on- I'm just saying this. I know everyone's body is different, but you don't have 5 pregnancies that are that long without a little body change pretty early on. She was wearing her same, painted on jeans (which she is far too large for. I'm on the fatter side of life, I dont wear things to accentuate my rolls...) there is no chance that she is almost 4 months pregnant (again....) she does things like this to get attention (possible munchhausen, she also projects on dss) and to try to get sympathy from the court when things aren't going as planned......
I'm kind of over it. Like, seriously. if she spent half as much time getting a job and getting her life in order as she did on coming up with stories like this she would be a halfway decent person (maybe lol)
Alright. Rant over I guess

3 weeks ago our neighbor came to our door asking for our share of the bill for the street light ($40/year). This was around 4-4:30, I was home but I knew DH was still at his desk. I told our neighbor that I'd have DH stop at the ATM on his way home so I wouldn't have to write a check. I called DH and asked if he stop for cash then drop the money off next door and he said, "Sure, no problem".
Flash forward to last Thursday: DH hands me $40 and says, "Here's the money for [neighbor]". WTF Dude!? You said you'd take care of it.
