@beckynsean11. I'm so sorry! ((hugs))). I know that's hard I found out my baby was a girl too. My dr didn't tell me I read it on the report but its the weirdest feeling to see that.
My coworker is supposed to be training our new part timer at work because our manager is on maternity leave beginning Monday. I'll be damned if she wasn't playing Candy Crush while the trainee stood behind her twiddling her thumbs.
Uhm, what? Yeah, I ratted her out to our manager. Dude, you're cool and all but I don't want to be stuck with some idiot part-timer whom has never worked in a financial setting before because you were to busy crushing candy.
I then proceeded to tell her how to do her job the rest of the day because she "kept getting distracted" as she calls it.
My husband's long time ex girlfriend found out she is pregnant like two weeks ago... and is due in December. Not sure how she didn't realize she was that far along, but apparently she was on the shot and there ya go. Well, I was due in December too, and it makes me sad/jealous for myself... we were ready and happy about having a baby, and she doesn't have a job and lives with her parents, but at least has a steady boyfriend. Then I found out that her mom told her to go to Mexico to get an abortion and I felt awful for her. What a horrible thing for her mother to say.
I'm sorry, ladies. I can't imagine what that feels like.
My FFFC -- I have never been on a plane. I've traveled some, camped my way from Northern Ontario to BC and back, and I've been to NYC, but it was all on the ground.
And, because that confession is a wee bit lame, here's a juicier one. Not only have I had more sexual partners than DH (It's not actually a large number, but he didn't have much experience), I have also been with more women than him.

Not trying, barely preventing until we finish renovating. Assuming we ever finish.
This is like a real confession that I think I've only ever told one or two people in my life. I hope it's not flameable.
When I was a freshman in college I had a boyfriend an hour away who was a senior in high school. I was involved in an organization that was a lot of fun and consumed a lot of time, and had a lot of male members. I never thought about cheating in a physical way on my boyfriend, but I did develop a few silly crushes that year.
One night, I went to this guy's dorm with another guy friend and we watched a movie. I ended up staying the night there and sleeping on the guy's bed and we were sort of flirty but I wasn't interested in kissing and definitely not sex. I dozed off and early in the morning, I woke up and my shirt and bra were above my boobs and the guy was playing with them (hands and mouth). I was freaking shocked and I felt freaking violated, but I was so shocked I just pretended I was still asleep. I didn't know what to do. Our other friend was even in the room, sleeping on the floor. To this day I feel violated and stupid because I never thought I'd be in a position where I couldn't stand up for myself. When he thought I was waking up he put everything back where it was and pretended like nothing happened. I assume he really thought I was asleep which makes it so much worse.
The worst part was we were in this organization together and still had to spend a lot of time together, and had all the same mutual friends. He may have even told them all about it and they think I'm a slut or an idiot, but I don't think he did because most of them were good people and would see that what he did was horribly wrong. I hated him. And sort of hated myself. When it crosses my mind I still do.

;;deep breaths::
OMG, that's horrible! You should definitely not hate yourself. He was a creep and how could you know what to do in the middle of the night, still disoriented from sleep? All the blame goes on him, don't beat yourself up. {{{HUGS}}}
@themrsJRD I'm so sorry about that you went through that. That is definitely not your fault and you should never feel like it is. That guy was a creep and what he did was not okay.
Me 31 DH 34 TTC #1 5/13 BFP #3 5/2/14 DD born 1/19/15 NTNP #2 8/17 BFP 12/13/18 ED 8/21/19
S/O to yesterday's bra UOs. I wear my bras for like 2-3 weeks before I wash them unless they start to stink. I have two bras that fit and I rotate them.
I do this too. How many bras do normal people own??
I think Corbin Bleu is super cute, and I plan on watching this season of Dancing With The Stars solely for him. Well, and for Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Ditto the PP's. That is so wrong and sad and I'm sorry you went through that. I went through something similar, so I know how easy it is to blame yourself. I have to agree with a PP about talking to your husband about it if you haven't already. I think that's the first step to being able to come to terms with it and stop blaming yourself. I wish you the best!

My incredibly lame confession: I have felt the temptation to post an "am I pregnant" thread but resisted. I just post my craziness in the TWW thread...and also drive my DH insane.
I am such a boring person...my college self would be so unimpressed.
Of course I posted my stupid "confession" while others were talking about their serious ones. I'm so sorry you both had to go through that, @themrsJRD and @HappyFeet34. I can't imagine dealing with that!

I have at least 6 or 7. It might be more than that.
If we are counting sports bras, I have a fuckload because reuse without washing is not an option for those.
Oh dude, I won't even venture a guess on how many sports bras I own. I have never worn one without washing it first. ::shudders::
Including sports bras, probably 30ish. Agree with GM, there is nofuckingway a sports bra gets reused. My sports bras way outnumber the regular ones.
My FFFC - I don't actually know that much about fertility, which is kind of lame considering. So trailing on that, I'm guessing FF would be a good place to start??
I own several bras, but I'm super lame and only wear two...my nude bra with straps, and my nude bra w/o straps...depending on my top. I wash them most of the time I do laundry, which is usually every other week. I only have about 4 pairs of jeans that I like and I only wash those every other week too. Shirts,underwear and workout clothes are strictly one wear only though.

I currently have 2 regular bras, but that's mostly just because I recently gained a lot of weight and am in denial that I should just get used to it. But when I was the same size for several years I had 15+bras in the correct size.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
A lot of these confessions have me thinking about another confession of mine.
I love The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. A big reason is because after that f****wad attacks her, she attacks him back (the same way he attacked her) and tattoos "Rapist Pig" on his chest and stomach. I think every sick bastard deserves to be treated the same way he treats others. Maybe I'm wrong to feel this way, I'm open to the fact that it's wrong for me to feel that way, but right now, that's my confession.
I didn't like that movie at all, however, that was the only good part of the movie to me. Sweet revenge for something so fucked up. Good for her.
I know that I haven't been TTC long and another woman's fertility had no bearing on mine... but I feel like everyone I know is getting pregnant right now and I'm really feeling down on myself.
I hate that I told a few people that we're trying because I see them every 2 mos or so and every time I see them they ask...I see them again at the end of this month and I'm dreading it... this will be the second time I've seen them since telling them we're trying and they told me the first time around that I had nothing to worry about because "basically everyone gets pregnant within 3 mos"...now I get to go tell them that basically everyone but me does... and I'm sure that will be followed with the relax and enjoy yourself advice... ::banging head against the wall already::
Jan15 December Siggy Challenge: Holiday Fails
TTC Since 4/13 | Me: 28 DH: 29 | DX: PCOS + High T + Arcuate Uterus (11/13)
@themrsJRD I hate that you carry any guilt or shame around about something like that. you had a terrible thing happen TO you, it is in no way your fault or a reflection on you at all. I'm so sorry that you went through that, and even more sorry that you carry that around in this way.
Thank you all SO MUCH. Not only was it cathartic to finally write these things down, the amount of support I got is overwhelming in the best way. The logical part of me knows that I shouldn't blame myself but when I get to thinking about it too much it just brings me down. Yes, I did tell my husband about this many years ago, but I'm not sure he knows that it still affects me today. I hope that guy thinks about it sometimes too and feels like shit about it (but I'm not holding my breath for that). Thank you all again.
I am so, so sorry that you went through something similar and I wanted to thank you also for sharing your experiences. It's an awful thing to think about but in a strange way it helps to share with other women who have also had to deal with it, even complete strangers over a TTC board. I wish y'all all the best.
To all the psycho newbs who say no one supports anyone here, I BEG TO DIFFER.. case in point, right here.
Thanks, I owe it all to Metformin lol.. we are TTA right now so it's sad that it's so pretty now. Even though we used protection the two times in my FW my brain still starts thinking WHAT IF?!?!? Stupid brain.

I have a pretty vindictive idea of justice when it comes to violence against women. Which is also why I'm pissed that Ariel Castro was able to commit suicide. That bastard deserved every bit of jail time and I'd hoped the 'inmate justice' I've heard of (that even most inmates do not look favorably on pedophiles and rapists) would have been frequent. Suicide was too good for him.
@NariaDreaming--I only own cotton underpants. They are usually fun patterns and I frequently find them in the juniors department.
I guess that's my other FFFC. I'm 34 and still shop in the juniors department sometimes.
Also my mom still buys a lot of my clothes. I hate to go shopping so much that if she didn't insist on buying me clothes when I see her then I would still be wearing the same stuff I wore in college. ::hangs head in shame::

I have at least 6 or 7. It might be more than that.
I have 14 but I don't wear but about 4 regularly. I probably have about 10 sports bras of different supports depending on what I need them for.
I wear my sports bras everyday because when I wake up I put my gym clothes on and after I take my son to school I go to the gym. I have to wash them after each wear.
Talking about criminals, I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for any convicted criminal. I think we waste entirely too much of our tax dollars on housing inmates. Why the hell would some of those people NOT WANT to go back to prison? We give them free cable tv, hot meals every day, a bed to sleep in, exercise equipment, education, jobs, a lot more than some of them could ever manage on their own as a law abiding citizen. I say we go to no A/C, no TV, no working out equipment, no education. Make them REALLY SUFFER so they don't want to come back!!! Why is that so hard for people to understand? Let's get some chain gangs going to clean up all of our litter at least.
And for those who have committed especially heinous crimes, murder, rape, child abuse, and there is super hard evidence and no question they committed the crime, just kill them immediately. Why continue to waste tax payers money on those worthless pieces of human garbage any longer than necessary?
I also don't buy the whole argument that people raised in poverty have no choice than to resort to criminal acts to get by in life. That is bullshit. Anyone that really truly wants a better life for themselves will find a way to make it happen. Period.
Yikes, so many things to say.
But I'll adress the bolded. It is SUCH a privileged statement. If you really think that every single person that have commited a crime ENJOYS it or have deliberatly CHOSEN to do so, then you probably never ventured out of your lollypop bubble.
You think that kids that are raised in poverty, have the tools to make the decision to make a better life for themselves? With no food on the table, or thugs after their family ... It's not always like the movies you know.

Agree!!!
When what's his face (my brain really doesn't work sometimes) committed suicide the other day I was thinking good less money we have to spend on supporting his psycho ass.
When I worked I remember I use to get bills all the time from the hospital because a prisoner kept trying to commit suicide. It cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars every week because this guy tried to kill himself every week for months. He never succeeded. Prisoners would do anything for a ride somewhere .... And taxpayers are paying for it! Make them earn their keep and pay their own bills. If you want to attempt suicide every week pay for it like the rest of us do.
