FFFC

julieb1218:
I am so angry with myself right now that I don't feel as blessed in my life as I truly am. Right now I am just mad at the world and having a hard time understanding why all these things are falling apart in my life and everyone else IRL seems to be announcing their pregnancies and getting to go shopping with their moms for baby clothes. 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'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.

FFC: It really annoys me when new posters do their intros, & say I am 10+ DPO, blah blah. Really? Can you not wait until CD1 to join the board? It would make me less stabby when you get your insta-BFP.

This is so true! I'm always like, great, I know we'll be getting their BFP announcement in 3 days.

I am avoiding my IL's because they are driving me crazy. I really don't like that we live 5 minutes away, I feel smoothered by them.

I get frustrated at all the things I have had to give up while TTC. I didn't sign up for a marathon last year because I figured I would be pregnant. I weened off of my anti-depression meds and it's been almost two years, I'm having a hard time being off of them. I am limiting my caffeine and alcohol. We are wondering if we should plan a vacation, but if I am PG it could be complicated (because I had a preemie I will need more monitoring) It's just annoying.

I don't like passive aggressive stuff on TTC. When people call out someone but don't give a name, or make references to someone. I think TTC is full of wonderful girls and I treasure it, but I also feel like there are a lot of cliques. Can't we all just get along?

I think that one of my BFF's is pregnant, and I am seeing her tomorrow. She knows about our struggles TTC. I will be totally happy for her, but I've had to practice my excited reaction.

I think it is SUPER lame that people hide behind FFFC to single out a particular person, but they won't mention their name. Just so I am not a hypocrite, Ricola, this is directed at you today, but it seems to happen with someone every week. Hasn't it always been said that if you have a problem with a poster you should confront them instead of making lame confessions or PSA's?

And spare me the whole "This is supposed to be flame free" BS, considering your confession is a clear flaming of someone else.

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.

If you're obsessed with that, you definitely shouldn't look at the chart gallery. Don't do it!

(that should take up the rest of your work day) Wink

1. I stay far, far away from the drama/arguments/etc on here. I am very opinionated myself, but I don't think it's worth arguing on the internet.

2. I HATE timing sex around ovulation. I just want to have sex with my husband because we are in the mood. It stresses me out to no end. I am looking forward to finally being pregnant, so we don't have to do this anymore.

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.

*hugs* I think no matter what you already have, when you've had an original idea or dream for so long it's hard to imagine your life a different way. You're not greedy no matter what you decide.

izzyj04 · January 2011

I'm so down lately and I can?t stand it. I called my OB/GYN earlier this week to set-up a consult because this is month 12 (I obviously have no hope for this cycle) and I almost broke down on the phone. Just thinking about going in for the consult puts my stomach in knots and makes me want to cry.

Also, I really would love to be nothing but excited for my best friend and her unexpected pregnancy, I find myself feeling really jealous and wish I could avoid talking to her sometimes.

Trying to conceive is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be and I?m really afraid of what comes next.

I didn't hide behind a FFFC to call out a particular person, i kept it general for a reason. As I said in Lovey's page, she is not the only only who posts +1's and calls out DD's, so there was no need to address a general confession just to her. You should know me better, atl. I wouldn't have a problem calling out someone directly.

All I'm saying is that there have been several instances where you have shown your apparent dislike for lovey, but not once have you actually stated it. I'm not the only one that's noticed it, so I highly doubt it's all in my head.

With that said, I have always liked you, even when we have disagreed. I just wanted to know what the deal was.

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!

I won't complain about your CD1 post, I promise Smile

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.

I have to admit, I noticed it today too. I'm not sure that I've noticed it before, but I don't always pay attention or read FFFC. When I read your confessions today, Ricola, they all seemed to be directed toward Lovey. I didn't realize that you didn't like her. She has always been nice to me and I wondered what she did to you to warrent such passive-aggressive jabs at her.

As far as calling out DD goes...my FFFC is that I think it is totally justified. We are all adults here and when we write something inappropriate or something we write is misunderstood, we should be woman enough to explain ourselves or apologize. Deleting a thread is like trying to take back what you say. There are not 'taksies backsies' on the bump.

I already explained that it wasn't directed at Lovey. I don't know where you take it from that I don't like her.

Another question: When Daysie posted in a FFFC once that she doesn't like it when an OP posts their answers in a GTKY poll in a different post than the questions, was that a passive-aggressive stab at me? I do that. When someone posted they don't like CD 1 whiney posts, was that a stab at me? I've done that before. I think you understand my FFFC and tried to read between the lines, when there really was nothing to read. Those are just two things that annoy me on the boards. If I had something specific to say to Lovey, I would do that.

Alison, I understand. A bit of a long story, but a friend of mine, who wasn't trying got pg when I did the last time. I m/c'd, she didn't know, called to congratulate me and tell me her great news. She's still pg and I have a hard time answering her calls. I'm happy for her, but it breaks my heart.

My FFFC: There is a stick-mixer that my DH loves to use. I hate it. It was mine before we got married and I rarely ever used it before. He uses it, but doesn't rinse it right away. So, the stuff will get stuck in there and it's a b!tch to clean. I kept hiding it and he kept finding it. Finally, I hid it in a cupboard and he hasn't found it yet. He realized this last time that I wasn't just misplacing it, and actually hiding it on purpose. I refuse to tell him where it is.

I just bought a stick mixer this week. I can not wait to use it, but now you've got me wondering if it's worth the effort to clean. Sad

Do you mean an immersion blender? I have one, and as long as I run it under running water right after I use it, it turns out ok

karaknr · January 2011

I can't stand it when someone bi*ches about how much they hate grammatical errors in posts but the sentence they write to explain their irritation is full of comma splices and run on sentences...

If you're going to be one of those people who nit picks at stuff like that at least make sure every single post your write is grammatically perfect before you hit "post".

2. I HATE timing sex around ovulation. I just want to have sex with my husband because we are in the mood. It stresses me out to no end. I am looking forward to finally being pregnant, so we don't have to do this anymore.

I agree with ALL of this. I try to stay out of the drama. It bothers me though when people post an innocent question & people jump all over it. I posted a few weeks back when I was 7DPO and asked if anyone else had ever had a drop of blood (no more than a tiny drop) when they wiped (not after sex). I immediately had someone post to tell me I was "fishing" for someone to say it was implantation bleeding. I definitely wasn't fishing for sh!t, I just had a question. She then went on to start a new post to say she was "bored" with the discussion she was having with me. Lame.

And timed sex - never ideal. Most of the time it's stressful & I feel bad for DH because the whole thing relies on him to seal the deal.

My FCCC:

I find it ridiculous, when people post a +1 and/or something short on every thread all of a sudden, only to get new bling and up their post count.

And as I mentioned in the Unpopular Opinion thread yesterday, I find calling out a DD just as lame as the DD itself.

Is this really any worse than the "ask me anything I'm almost silver" posts?

And, my FFFC - if you don't know about something, don't try to give advice. You can certainly offer support, but I hate how much 'advice' I see on here that is total crap!

No, not worse, equally bad. Newbies get flamed for mentioning new bling (when they reach bronze) all the time and get told that the status is more a state of mind than a badge on your profile. Same goes for silver, gold and platinum IMO.
