PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
I've been waiting for TP Thursday! Today has been a rough IF day so forgive me if I seem like I'm whining. I'd like to double TP IF in general!!! This 2ww has been difficult and I'm not sure if it's the extra Clomid running through my system or the fact that we got to see those 2 beautiful follies on the u/s. I'm trying so hard to not get my hopes up for fear that my heart will be broken again. But it's so hard not to when all the positive signs are there (the follies, healthy lining, tremendously sore, sensitive boobs, and cramping only on the left side where the follies were). My hopeful side wants to believe that this was it, but then the logical, negative Nellie side crushes those hopes. Trying so hard to hold it together until I can test.
On a positve note, I earned enough stars on my Starbucks Gold card to get a free coffee today and I was excited to hear that Dunkin Donuts will be offering a gluten free muffin and donut!!!

I would love to TP the little b#$ch that told me and another wife, who is also going through IF, that we should take mucinex to solve our problem!!!! I'll get right on that, because that is what is going to get us pregnant over all the RE's procedures, prescriptions, tests, and IUIs. >.< Oh and then proceeded to go on about how she has baby fever and has no idea what to do with a baby, but really wants one. (She is currently of birth control) She actually told us she wanted to buy a Babies for Dummies book. We both wanted to TP her!
(She was completely aware of all the procedures that we have been through) Idiot!

I want to TP everyone & everything. Hello AF & CD1
Just knowing that we are starting our 3rd and final IUI attempt makes me sick to my stomach. At least I know we'll go on to IVF, but then I think about the money and the "no guarantee" and I am sick all over again.
F*** all this IF crap.

Me 36/DH 31
Over 35 - TTC since Sept 2012
2/13 - DH's SA was normal and OBGYN did BW on me to check ovulation - all was normal. Went to RE in March 2013 at BIVF. All BW was normal, estrogen a little high. 4/13 - HSG #1 - very painful and had spasms so suggested repeat of procedure. 5/13 - HSG #2 done by RE and both tubes are blocked
Omg! People really really really don't think before they speak. Uggh, I like your comment though. Sometimes you just have to speak up instead of ignoring.

It's hard to choose today! I think I'll TP the whole day! My job is super stressful right now. It's hard to choose one aspect to TP, but I think my supervisor is deserving. I keep emailing her questions about the many changes going on at my job right now and she keeps responding saying that she's on her way in and we can talk about it, but I've only seen her for 5 minutes this whole week! Most of my questions could easily be answered via email so I'm not sure why it's even necessary to say she's coming in...especially when she never actually does! Argh...it just drives me crazy!!
But I think the real winner of the TP today is AF who showed up a few hours ago. Taking it really hard this month.
We should start a TP Thursday run where we go out there and run while air TPing all of these people and things virtually. It'd kind of be like a running kick boxing thing. Like Rocky Balboa, but with more rage. And we should definitely throw a few DKs, drop kicks, in there too. I love that suggestion from above.
Sorry to everyone above who is dealing with insensitivity. TGFTPT ... Thank Goodness For TP Thursday
