Monday Pity Party B!tchfest!

brookelynpaisley · June 2011

Didn't see it yet, so thought I'd get it going. Let's hear it ladies!

Ellis31 · June 2011

Not so much a b!tch..just really hoping I O'd on CD 14 because MH went out of town until Friday. Wish I could fast forward so I will know one way or the other with tomorrow's temp.

I can't get my friggen CBE Digital OPK's to stop giving me an error. I'm frustrated!

annerz22 · June 2011

One of my best friends invited me on a girls weeked to Rhode Island the weekend after the 4th. I want to go sooo badly for beach, boats, and beer but it also happens to be my O time. After my super long/strange cycle last month I don't want to miss out on another month but I am so bummed I can't go with my friends!

celestialnyte · June 2011

Im so annoyed at my body!! AF was scheduled to arrive yesterday. It didn't. So, I tested. It was BFN. And I cried. A lot. I don't know why I was so emotional about it yesterday. And AF STILL hasn't arrived.

huskymomma94 · June 2011

I hate my commute. So, so much. I feel like its taking over my life.

brookelynpaisley · June 2011

This isn't related directly to the two questions this morning, but it drives me a little nuts when posters are obsessed with OPKs in early cycles. I don't know why either. It's like I picture them fumbling with all these contraptions (like the CBEFM) when there's a host of knowledge in their temps and other signs. Then they get all confused and frustrated when signs don't match. Well of course not - the CBEFM doesn't know your cycle. But know what does? Your CM. Your CP. If they focused on those and learning their cycle for a couple months, I feel like they'd get a lot more enjoyment out of the experience and this whole "temping is stressful" myth might get debunked. I feel like it's not the temping that's stressful - it's all the other stuff.

PandaManda23 · June 2011

nothing much....making a bunch of dr. appt.(s) today.....

plus having a god/religion/gay conversation with my FIL on FB....(he goes on FOREVER) .... and DH isn't here to help me

OrganicTeacher · June 2011

Ok - Here it goes!!!!

FML. I think I STILL havent O'd. POOP!!!!

Jetta83306 · June 2011

There is always something that needs to be fixed at my house. Yesterday it was the cable/internet. After that was fixed we discovered a big puddle under the washing machine. I currently have a plumber downstairs to fix the situation and it's not going to be cheap....grrrr Angry

This too. Commuting sucks.

SandNSurf · June 2011

Storms last night left us powerless. The city says it might be up to two days before it gets everyone back up. Thankfully, I made it to work on time and we do have power here.

I agree. I stopped doing OPKs a few months ago, and it is amazing! Just temping and CM have given me a pretty clear picture every month so OPKs were really just something else to stress over and spend money on

I am going to 100% agree with you both b/c I now hate OPK's. I am one of those annoying people who has been asking questions about them in early cycle. But FF seems to think I O'd at CD11 on my first cycle temping. I wish I had not used the OPKs at all.

I OPKs.

megemoney · June 2011

Ehh... I will be super busy the next three weeks. I have to prepare for the short week next week. Then I have to deal with the short week. Then... I have to prepare for vacation. At least there is a nice week vacation at the end of this hell. (LOL, I just reminded myself of the book, "The Monster at the end of this Book. Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover.")

I don't really have anything TTC related to complain about. Just waiting to O at the moment...

RobinR91 · June 2011

Ooohh, those are all great complaints! I'm going to go with the obvious that I'm on CD2 now (ugh), but when I called my OB to let her know as per her request, Eeyore answers the phone, making leaving a simple phone message for the doctor a HUGE ordeal. I LOVE my Dr, but feel like the receptionist is the biggest downer in the world. I called at 10 AM, and the receptionist says *in Eeyore intonation* "if you haven't heard from her by tomorrow at 2, please call back". I said some things back, but realized mid sentence it was useless, because I was talking to Debbie Downer. Hopefully the Doc calls soon!

bradswifey09 · June 2011

I havent O'ed yet! WTH!

Shayliz · June 2011

I just want to O already! and lose 5 lbs.. but I'll take O first. I'll be so mad if I got 3 days of +OPKs and I don't wind up O.. but I feel like I can't even judge this cycle at all since it's the first one after m/c. I'm just a ball of ***.

Oem617 · June 2011

I hate when I come into work and know I have lots to catch up on from last week, only to find more work in my email. I guess I should stop bumping and get to work. Haha..

Squishy622 · June 2011

I'm going out of town this week to help my sick MIL and it looks like I'm going to O while I'm away. I'm really glad I'm able to go, but.... sigh.

NuggetJo · June 2011

Ugh- I was in such a crabby mood yestrday and had a headache all day. Then last night I didn't sleep at all so when I temped this morning I had had about 1 hour sleep. I'm 11dpo and of course this mornings temp dropped below the coverline. Nice! Way to put me in a worse mood. Now I'm at work, look like crap and I feel like screaming. The good news is that I'm the boss so even if I look like *** no-one will say anything

oh and let's not forget that I will be drinking(heavily) this weekend. That's always something to look forward to!

Are you relying on the bump ticker to tell you when you are Oing?

lukesliebe · June 2011

So, my H decided to tell me all weekend about how I was pregnant. No I wasn't late, I hadn't tested... he just decided I was and wouldn't quit nagging me about testing. I have this thing about testing before I'm a few days late since there have been times when I've been 5 days late before my next cycle starts. My H has been against testing up to now since he figures if there's no AF then you're pregnant....(despite the fact that I've explained everything). However he decided to pressure me to test,test,test. I mean he literally asked me every hour if I had tested yet. So in order to get him to leave me alone I tested this morning....BFN.

I knew it and to my frustration he decided to tell me there was still a chance since I hadn't started yet. I already kinda knew it wouldn't be our month so I had already accepted the negative. It's getting frustrating with my H continually trying to make me keep my hopes up. Ugh...can you believe I can't wait for CD1?

Sorry pity party over! Sorry it was so long...thanks for letting me vent!

Id just had to pop in and say that I LOVE this book!!! Its one of my favorites!

ukcats27 · June 2011

I hate my job.

berbur · June 2011

Work has been so stressful lately. Our patients acuities are high, and we are so under-staffed. We recently merged with another hospital, and before the merge, both were understaffed. Who had the genius idea of merging 2 understaffed hospitals without hiring and new staff? Ugh. And on top of that, I get texts almost every day off asking if I want to work overtime.... No, I don't.

Also, DH and I have been on an extended semi-break from TTC since my m/c in Sept. Basically, we aren't really trying to time anything, but we aren't avoiding either. Seems there is always a reason to postpone it, but secretly it's because I'm so scared of another m/c.

The silver lining is, I get a 13 day break to go to Maui in two weeks, and I won't be pregnant while I'm there!

No I am using OPK and checking CM. I started testing last week because last month I O'ed at 14 days. Still nothing.

brookelynpaisley · June 2011

Oh, and! I haven't heard from my OB/gyn about the official results of my HSG or DH's SA. The HSG was 10 days ago and the SA was Wednesday - I thought I would have heard something by now. I went from being really happy and feeling lucky about finding an OB/gyn I liked to being totally disappointed. The only good thing is, the RE I'm seeing is one of the top 3 in the state, so I'm actually going to ask him to recommend a new OB for me.

berbur · June 2011

Hey Brookelyn! Who is the RE you are seeing?

outrunthemoon · June 2011

So friday my car broke. It's not safely fixable.So I'm on the prowl for a new car. So I've had to rely on everyone for rides. Today I'm going to look at a car and apply for a loan. So i need my parents to give me a ride. My father is acting like it's such a burden on him to help me out. He even asked if I really needed him at the credit union...uhhhh, dad, i have no other way to get there. Thanks dad. He also said he would be here in a half hour, I've been waiting on my porch for an hour. *sigh*

Rvnsgrl81 · June 2011

My main one is there is ALWAYS something wrong with the RV. We have an RV for tailgating and we use to get away at the beach sometimes, but every year something needs to be done to it. We decided we are going to sell it and have someone interested. So DH and I have spent every free minute we have getting everything out of it, cleaning it, fixing little things and then the bed broke (came off the wall) when we were cleaning out the underneath storage. DH and I had no clue how to fix it and I didn't want to spend a fortunate. Yesterday I fixed the bed all by myself and was so happy and excited. That lasted two seconds until we realized we have a plumbing leak on the outside AND inside. FML. Off to the shop it goes.

MidaComida · June 2011

I wish that AF would show up already!!! I am SO ready to start over with a new cycle.. This cycle was a total FAIL due to being on vacation and forgetting my thermometer, so I gave up and stopped temping 2 weeks ago Embarrassed

Rvnsgrl81 · June 2011

Oh I have another. At my coworkers wedding Friday night my DH was dancing ALL night with this precious 3 year old little girl who clearly had a crush on him (so cute!), but what I didn't need was my coworkers wives (3 of them) to tell me every FIVE minutes to give that man a child. Really people?!? Do you think I am holding my ute hostage or something? People really need to think before they speak. Then DH wanted to know why I was upset most of the night. People suck.

emu0013 · June 2011

DH hit a pothole and needs a new tire, ugh, we just had to buy me a new tire from a pot hole and mine cost almost $400. I hope his is cheaper....Ugh

farmerlynda · June 2011

Bad morning. DH got a call at 5AM (!!!) because the foreman who works in the vineyard found a homeless guy in a wheelchair asleep by the gate to the property. So my "late sleep-in morning" (of 7 a.m. -- Monday is one of the few days where I have a relatively late start) was destroyed thanks to the phone call. I woke up grumpy and I'm still grumpy.

Then, I catch my brother stapling fly strips into a wooden beam in the barn. Ummm, hello, use tape!! Why would you make holes in a beautiful wood beam if you don't have to? But instead of doing what I say, he argues with me, and staples another fly strip into the beam. We built this barn by hand and it was a lot of work (not to mention money), so we try to take good care of it, something he apparently doesn't understand.

Ugh. Thanks for letting me b!tch.

It's annoying enough (to me) when people constantly ask when you're going to have children... But this crosses the line for me. I probably would have had some smartass comment like, "Where can I find one to purchase?" or "Do you have one I can give him?"

RedsFan · June 2011

I hate this cycle! The past three months I have O'd between CD 26-27 and here I am on CD 34 and my temp dropped lower than it has all cycle. Just when I thought I was understanding my charting patterns! I hate feeling like my body is all out of whack and not knowing when to BD!!
