FFFC

tmsetzer83 · January 2011

I hate TTC. My cycles are so long and unpredictable, and by the time O approaches, I have given up and DH is worn out. I feel like we will be at this forever because our timing always ends up sucking.

I can't button most of my jeans.. ugh.

I'm flammable today.

1. I judge posters for errors with spelling and grammar. It's usually just straight up laziness, and if you're asking such an earth shattering question that requires a response, perhaps spell checking and reading it over first is worth considering for the 10 seconds it will take up of your day.

2. I have a friend who got pregnant first cycle when she wasn't even planning on trying until this year. She's 11 weeks along and I really can't face her. I will likely not make plans with her until I have my own happy news. I'm hoping she doesn't reach out to me. Yes, I know that someone else's pregnancy has nothing to do with my own potential one. It's irrational and that's why it's here.

3. I was disappointed in TTGP yesterday that we had enough unpopular opinions to bring us into Friday, but didn't even have enough things to be grateful for on Thankful Thursday to make it into a popular, red-marked thread.

4. Ovulation sex is so stressful and I don't know how to make it less so.

I really love this face of alison. Wink Fiesty, I love it! YG have a PM in a sec.

My FFFC- I gave my niece a banana pudding cupcake for breakfast right before I take her back to her mom I know,I know- Whoopty-fvckin-doo

And I also think it's pretty lame for people to lurk all day long just in hopes that they may get to flame someone's "stupid newbie" post. Get a hobby!

Soooo glad this is FF!

That's what "favorite aunts" are made of! Wink Yes

Ok my FFC. This has defiantly been one of the worst weeks of my life, and although my posts have been few and far between, i was lurking. All week I have been in this crossfire not knowing what board I should be on, and posting my "Will you take me back?" made me cry.
However, Ricola's rose made me smile. And all of you ladies make me laugh. In an awkward way I am glad to be back.
I had the same feelings after my m/c. I felt so lost. I didn't know where I fit in or where I belonged or if I even belonged. I am so sorry and it may feel awkward for awhile. I was only gone 2 weeks, but in that time TTGP was different. Hugs!

Thanks Baboo

I hate it when people use the words bitter, damaged, or struggling to describe any aspect of anyone else's TTC journey. It's all relative so shut up about it. If that is how you think of them- I promise you that they don't want your opinion.

Yes

btaylor19 · January 2011

1. I haaaaate my job!! I can't wait until I can put in my 9 months notice for sooo many reasons. I have every intention of doing zero work today and have no guilt about it at all.

2. I hid my first friend on facebook the other day. All she ever posted about was her miserable morning sickness. I can't believe I am now that person.

3. If this cycle doesn't work, I will make a poor me CD1 post, and you all will like it!

A big part of why I don't chart is because I'm too lazy to get up that early every day Embarrassed

I lurk on the birth boards to see who is on there and hope that I "like" most people in case I end up on that board. Embarrassed

I love these, alison. I was also disappointed in the lackluster Thankful Thursday thread yesterday, but I didn't say anything about it because I didn't post in it myself for a variety of reasons, which I will enumerate in my FFFC post in a minute.

I laughed at both of these! As much as I always want my BFP, some month boards are more appealing than others. Wink Some get a little crowded with The Crazy.

ProcrastinatingBride · January 2011

OK, sorry I responded 87 times to this thread before posting my FFCs. I hate when other people do that, but sometimes I am that person. I guess that's my first FFC.

Others:

I have now been off my anti-anxiety meds for over a year for TTC purposes. While I generally do OK, I have been having periodic problems here and there. Part of me really just wants to get TTC over with so I can get back on some meds, though probably not the same one I was on before. Weaning off of it was a complete nightmare. I don't ever want to go through that again.

I just got over a rough patch, and this morning I feel myself slipping back down. I don't know why or what to do about it. I tell MH just so I can feel a little less alone, and he helps, but it's not enough. I just feel hopeless and doomed today.

I used to think (because I can be hyper-sensitive) that I would get upset if I got into an argument with someone on the interwebs, but I recently discovered that, as long as it isn't a regular on the board, I really don't give a sh!t what internet strangers think of me. It's been oddly liberating, though I'd rather not make a habit of arguing with total strangers on the internet regardless.

I am a tiny bit worried that someone who shows up at the GTG will be someone I already know in real life (I don't have a specific person in mind, just a general fear), and that my TTC life will be exposed. It's irrational - there are a shitton of people in the DMV area, and I don't even know 0.00001% of them. And I only moved here 10 years ago. But it still worries me. See note above about being off meds. Tongue Tied

Whew, that felt good. Thank goodness for these threads.

MrsTran021310 · January 2011

I'm getting annoyed with all the TTGP check-ins. It all started off great when there were just a few. Now, there is a check in for EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Oh no wait, there is not a check in for taking our PNV.

Awwwww! That felt good! Big Smile

romigu · January 2011

I really liked the girls on the August 2011 board and am so pissed that I should be 8 weeks pregnant today. I still lurk on that board to see how they're all doing and wish I could be on that journey. I was right there and still try to analyze what I did those days leading up to the CP that might have made the baby not implant. I know that's stupid and unfounded but I can't help thinking about it.

Your post made me just love you. I cannot imagine the strength required to wean yourself off of anti-anxiety meds. Good for you. PM me if you ever need someone to "talk" to.

Your comment about feeling liberated to fight with people on the internet had me dying laughing (I, obviously, never had this problem but maybe could use a dose of it). Go get 'em Procrastinating! I have your back Wink

LOL, thanks, Brianna. I spent a long time just patting myself on the back about getting off my meds, but the reality is that I may need them again at some point. I'm still adjusting to that, I guess.

In other news, I'm cracking up over here, b/c I've long admired your ability to say the kind of stuff the rest of us are thinking. I'm pretty blunt in person, but I spent a good few months here wallflower-ing it because I was afraid of having my Very Delicate E-Feelings hurt. I'm getting over it now, and it helps that I have buddies like you, Kathy, alison, Catahoula, MT, and others behind me.

SmlTownGirl87 · January 2011

I'm very sad lately about having to start IUI's in Feb. I know it should be a good thing I just wonder why we couldn't just get pregnant on our own. I know we have 3 seperate diagnosis and we might need that extra umph/push but I am completely discouraged. I have been reading several IUI posts on 3T and have noticed that it hasn't worked for a lot of people. I have kind of pushed my H away lately because it bothers me that he doesn't quite understand how much I am bothered by this. He honestly thinks I need to get the F over every thing and quite frankly I agree. I just don't how.........

peelester429 · January 2011

I am so annoyed by people saying, "Isn't it time for you to have a baby?!" No one knows we're trying... And I want to yell back, "WE'RE TRYING, OKAY?!!!!!!!!!!"

It's none of your *!?* business.

missycrissy3 · January 2011

Thanks to the beautiful Ricola I have a posse now!!! Woooohooo!!!

Confession: I get really sad when people have to come back to the board when they miscarry. Its like I feel there pain or something.

The other one is I run far far away from the drama on here.

Happy Fantastic Friday Ladies!!!

heather_09_15_07 · January 2011

1. I'm sure I'm one of "those people" someone upthread mentioned avoiding. And that's ok.

2. I am thisclose to blocking a close family member on fb. It's a long story.

3. Our original hope was to have three kids. After all the struggle before I got pregnant with DD, now I wonder if having three would be greedy and maybe I should just be thankful for what I have.

hahaha I have one of those friends too!!! I have not hid her yet on FB but I am about 2 steps from doing so. Granted it took her 7 months to get pregnant, but seriously...she posts about 10 posts a day on FB and 9 out of 10 of them are pregnancy related....

I will NEVER get to do that with my mom and it makes me so angry. I have really been praying for God to give me strength but right now I feel like my life is in pieces. I know I need to be grateful/thankful because I know things can always get worse but right now it is just so hard.

I am hoping that the IUI will give you your take home baby.

doozer1345 · January 2011

My complaint is nothing to do with here. My complaint is with DH. When we took a break b/c TTC was too stressful at the time we stopped stressing. DH always tells me to stop stressing, etc. Since we've started back, I have started charting. Well, I'm getting stressed again b/c when I tell DH we need to BD, or just sexily try to get him to without saying anything, he's shooting me down. I understand that he is on a new shift and is trying to get on a schedule, but I'm on midnight shift and can't help that we have to get it on when we do! Today, he's doing the same sh!t, and I told him his a$$ is waking up at 12 no matter what, and I don't care if he goes to sleep afterwards!! I need Swimmies! Dang it! I'm starting to feel stressed.

This is my first month with the VIP feature on ff. I have recently become obsessed with the top signs points to the point where I am putting in every little symptom to see if the points will go up. Please note I am only 6 DPO and I realize this is ridiculous (yet I can't stop...)

I am at work today, and by 8:30 a.m. decided that I will not be doing any actual work today. I am splitting my time evenly between TB, FF and facebook (mainly cityville). I guess that is a FFC in it's own...yes I play stupid fb games and yes I know they are annoying.

I'm so sorry. I hate that feeling when you're so down about everything and then you think, so many people would love to be as blessed as I've been. Do something nice for yourself this weekend!

My FFFC is that I'm so glad the plans for our guests fell through for next weekend. I know I would not be in the mood to play nice after a BFN next week.
