  I would like to TP my husband.  We were watching Modern Family last night when he randomly said, "I wish we had a big family."
  
  I told him that if I was in therapy that's the kind of thing I'd tell my therapist. Thanks hubs.

  I want to TP my mom.  I let it slip a couple months ago that I had to go back to the doctor, and so she started poking and prodding about why and so I finally told her that we are going through testing to see if we can get pregnant.  I have obviously not told her anything, and she is very opinionated and somewhat cold.  Hence me not telling her! 

  So I called her the other day after my HSG and she said oh yeah I remember you needed to do that, how did it go?  So I told her what happened and that it was all normal and once again she says, "well why can't you just wait six months or a year?  Do you really need to do all of this testing, I mean we know people that had kids after they were told they couldn't.  I think you just need to relax and stop stressing.  It's only going to make it harder." 

  REALLY MOM!  You had 3 kids, got pregnant with me while you were on birth control, my sister got pregnant while on birth control, and my other sister got pregnant while on birth control with only 1 ovary and fallopian tube!!!!!!  I get that you don't understand it but shut up!  And those people you are talking about had kids 5-10 years later.  I don't want to wait 5 years to finally get pregnant especially if there is something I can be doing to help it along now!  UGH!!!!  Either keep your mouth shut about things you don't know about or understand or educate yourself on how to have a little class and

  So that is my rant and I feel much better now!  thank you.

  TTC Since October 2012.  I’m 27 and DH is 30

  DH: 4 SAs, all came back normal, blood testing 6/13-9/13 all normal

  Me: 03/13 irregular cycles, hypothyroidism diagnosis

       3/13 full blood panel showed normal results except thyroid

       5/13 regulated hypothyroidism, regular cycles again

       6/13 day 21-24 blood testing came back normal

       6/13-9/13 DH testing with Urologist- normal

       11/13 ultrasounds and full hormonal blood panel were normal

       12/13 OB consult, day 3 blood tests and HSG ordered

       01/14 HSG results normal, day 3 blood tests are normal

  Just hoping that AF will back off and give me a chance to take a pregnancy test! All are Welcome!!

  @andrea2380, I seriously don't know what to do about it. They are a completely different texture from the rest of my hair and I don't think dying would work because of that. I really don't want to look like a granny in my 30s though!

  @supermorena, @andrea2380 I have the biggest gray hair that just taunts me every day lol! I totally know you feel!!
  
  Hmm, who do I want to TP this week? Oh! Definitely my DH. So I've always wanted a Classic Pooh nursery theme, and just for fun I was looking at crib bedding (ya know, those insane things we do while on 2ww.....) and only found ONE Classic Pooh and it was very - green. So I thought, ooh! I'll make my own! And I found some cute fabric swatches and tried to show him and he was looking at me like I was nuts. Basically he said that I should treat the nursery like our wedding - the less I involve him, the happier I (and he) will be, because he couldn't care less about fabric swatches and paint colors. He'll just enjoy it when it's all finished.
  
  Ugh. I understand that he's a guy and he really just doesn't get into all that part of it, but he said, "If you want to gush over fabrics, go talk to [my girl friend]" and I was all, "Yeah but I can't do any of THAT until I'm officially pregnant and CAN ANNOUNCE IT TO HER!"
  
  Grr! MEN!

  @BlueJoan I hear you!  I work in an incredibly small office.  Our IT person is a contractor and we pay him a crazy hourly fee when his services are needed.  Consequently, I am the first level of IT support.  I can figure a lot of stuff out and google is my friend, but that doesn't mean that I "know" how to do it or that I can do it in 30 seconds.  I can't just walk over and fix something.  I have to play with it and google it extensively.  And why do people call me over before trying a simple restart??
  
  In related news, this made me happy today.  I did LOL at the Bob Marley joke:

  @danaye my DH and I have had some arguments over nursery issues too!! I'm just thinking that when it's for real he'll get excited about it and it might change then.

  
  

  Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004
  

  
  

  July 2006: started TTC
  2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
  2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
  October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
  Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
  January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
  February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
  March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
  July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
  August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

  May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
  IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
  May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
  

  June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
  IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
  September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!

  ** Warning loss mentioned (not mine) **
  
  I would like to, and very well may, TP my aunt and cousin.  They are on my moms side of the family.  Last night my dads sister had a baby that was only able to live for a few minutes.  Well my moms side aunt and cousin have been non stop posting about this baby.  They are even sharing a picture that my cousin (the babies sister) put on fb of the babies hands.  Now while some may see this as sweet, it isn't.  They are doing it for attention.  Posting praying for my family blah blah blah.  So now all of their friends are commenting on it praying for your family.  I'm sorry but STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS ABOUT YOU!!!  Nobody in the immediate family has posted this picture except the babies sister so why do you think this is appropriate????  Consider yourself FB hidden! 
  I mean really though, would you post a picture of your in-laws siblings baby?  She wouldn't have posted it if the baby was healthy.  I mean a status or two asking for prayers is fine, but really 10 a day for the last 3 days is a bit annoying!! 
  Ok end rant, and don't think i'm an awful person for being so mean lol.

  I want to TP my boss for blindsiding me with the announcement that he is contemplating adding family law to our practice. I personally never wanted to work in family law. He is also contemplating pro bono work for inmate civil right violations. Not sure what to think about that one yet. 

  
  

  I also want to TP two dear friends who blindsided our youth workers by telling us that they are leaving the church. They are our leaders in the youth department and my community group. We are losing two great families. 

  Loving life...one day at a time! 

  Diagnosed with PCOS in 2003. 

  Married in 2007. 

  Failed adoption in 2008.

  No treatment yet. 

  Life changes have made TTC with treatment impossible so far. 

  Trying on our own 2007 - 2013.

  Calling the doctor to get started 11/25/13.

  Cycle 1 - 50mg Clomid/TI cycle started 12/1/13 - ovulated - BFN.  

  Cycle 2 - 50mg Clomid/TI cycle - cancelled due to DH's flu

  Cycle 3 - Benched - waiting on DH's test results for Hypogonadism

  Been lurking for awhile.. Use to post on fertilitycommunity but the site has gone to crap. Anyways this thread made me want to finally post. Why are people so careless! I'd like to TP one of my friends who knows we've been ttc since we've been discussing for months (she wanted to try too at the same time-bad idea) she of course got preg right away like literally one month in and I'm on IUI number 3. She so kindly told me before announcing it at our girls group brunch. She's kept tabs on me and my progress but continues to announce pregnancies of ppl she knows and that I don't care about.. Example.. Random convo happening via group text and she'll interject with shhh guess who's pregnant.. Not me girl! Shut it! Ok thanks for that. I'll find myself a proper intro board now.

  This is going to sound like a total, High School Dramafied Throat Punch but I don't care because that's what i am feeling like is happening... I'd like to throat punch my so called best friend... I have felt this friend distancing herself from me for a little over a year, i tried my best to get things right but they never quite were... then mid year she gets preggo, I find out from her in a group text message despite her know about my IF... Then I do all i can to call/text/invite her to meet up, the works.  I threw her a baby shower... ugh so much... anyways she sent me a CRAZY, I mean CRAZY email 2 nights ago, basically painting me into the HORRIBLE person and that I have done all these things this year as a result of my jealousy of her and the reason that she hasn't invited me over to meet her baby is because she doesn't want her baby exposed to me.... are you f-ing serious, lady? who are you?  I am/was so incredibly confused... here i thought our friendship was just drifting but apparently she has suffered from some kind of dementia and doesn't even know who i am... so throat punch for sure, and walking away because no one needs this kind of crazy in their life... i do not have time for this!

  Everyone! I'm tired of everyone at work talking about their babies (3 of the 6 women are new moms, one has a 12 yo, one has a 3&5 yo and the last doesn't want kids). I'm also tired of ignorant patients who, although I know they mean well, keep asking me if I'm pregnant and when I'm going to get pregnant.

  Me:Hypothyroid DH: Type II diabetic. Together since 03/2007, Married 10/2011, D/C bc 10/2011. TTC: 11/2011. Charted BBT and CV along with OPK 10/2011-02/2012 Baseline labs 02/2012 WNL, SA 03/2012: botched sample by lab - destroyed hubby's confidence. 04/2012 Clomid 05/2012 Clomid 06/2012 Clomid 07/2012 Clomid and Ovidrel 08/2012 Ovidrel (I never knew that I was supposed to be monitored while on meds...I never was. I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality. DH started Pycnogenol. RE consult 01/15/2014.

  IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
  May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??

  Ready to take the road less traveled.

  My TP is similar to @ejrobbi's...I'd like to TP my girlfriends who ask how everything is going with IF and then start on another subject before I can even answer...I don't even see them that often so I definitely haven't over-shared, if anything I'm keeping it all in too much and it's overwhelming!! I'd also like to TP AF for not just showing up already so I can start my injectable IUI cycle!

  I know it's not Thursday but can I please TP the lady in my office that suggest I'm pregnant no matter what is going on.  I hiccuped the other day and she responds "maybe your pregnant".  I call out sick cause frankly I can't stand the place and "maybe your pregnant".  I was cold 1 day and "maybe your pregnant".  No dumbass, i'm cold cause the wind chill was like -20 and I work in the front office where the door is constantly opening.  I mean really lady?!?!  Either I TP her or the next time she says it i'm gonna respond with "maybe your an idiot"!!

  Going into the dry cleaners late Thursday and hearing about the owner's soon to be born grandchild....then immediately one saying, "any news?" as they look me up and down.  Yup....I just said "your voice to God's ears." and smiled.  Yup....was nervewracking especially as we have been preparing for our embryo transfer.
