I'd like to TP DH for being a slacker in making an appointment with a urologist. He went in for a 2nd SA and really everything is fine numbers-wise but there was a specific issue with morphology that was concerning to the RE. DH is totally in denial or thinks it's a fluke and it's pissing me off!!!

I'd like to TP my patients who are calling in blood glucose number that are perfect and then I get A1C test results back that are horrible or I down load their meters and it's pretty clear what they are calling in are made up. I wasn't born yesterday.
And as always a big TP to IF.

I would like to TP my RE and my DH for guilt-tripping me into doing 3 more IUI's. I really want to just move onto IVF and hopefully get a baby out of it. This treatment plan hasn't worked the first 3 times, why the hell would it work now? I'm the one that has to take the pills, go to a million doctor appointments, take the trigger shot, take personal days from work to do the IUI's, and try to "relax".

I need to TP ...myself. Or maybe this would be a FFC. I went to the TTC board just now by accident, I thought I was coming here to 3T. I saw a thread with a BFP announcement for a Christmas baby, and I immediately rolled my eyes and got an attitude. I dont know where that came from... Im genuinely happy when all of you ladies have success... I cant believe how upset I got so quickly. I think Im having a bad emotional day.

@BlueJoan - We discussed changing the protocol, but money is a big factor in all of this. My RE said that if we weren't completely OOP, then he would recommend moving onto IVF now. He said that inject + IUI aren't worth the extra money because the success rates are not that great. I have no desire to give clomid a chance, so back to letrozole it is. I just felt like my RE and my DH are teamed up against me. I want to move on to IVF now and just borrow the money from my MIL & FIL. My DH is trying to avoid telling his parents at all (they are not aware of our situation), so I think this is his way of putting off the inevitable.

I want to TP the vaginal progesterone. During my meeting I had "that feeling" in my vagina- the one where you're passing clots and you know AF has shown up in full force. 2 hour meeting with that godawful feeling.
Got to the bathroom- nope, just expelling gigantic clods of progesterone cream.
Ugh that's awful. I'm sorry

Stupid hormones.
Oh and still want to TP husbands boss for laying him off.
@calindi, I don't blame you. I got the invite for my SIL's other SIL's baby shower (for her second, self-hosted) and I immediately messaged her on FB that I would be busy (Thank God it's the same weekend as my birthday so I had a good excuse). I knew I'd be the only one there without kids. Andplusalso, her new baby's name is O.livia and that was a name DH and I loved but we see them too often to be able to use it now. UGH.

@RammerJammer ugh that rally sucks. I went to a kids' bday party last weekend at a splash park (kids and babies EVERYWHERE!!) and pretty much did what u plan.
I was there maybe 45 minutes and then left. I got to catch up with some old friends... But they were talking about having second children... Ugh sooo frustrating. And both girls are so nice and so deserving of everything they want so it feels worse to be so annoyed.

So there was an ad in my newsfeed about yoga pants that look like dress slacks. They were $80 and I was seriously considering them for a hot second
I would definitely consider that! My supervisor is very understanding. I have yoga pants similar to hers and she gave me permission to wear them to work. That is almost always what she wears. If you pair them with a nice top and some nice shoes, they look just like black dress pants. I wear them to work at least once a week. After my first injectables cycle, I bought two new pairs of pants that I knew would have some give. I'm very thankful that I did!

I want to TP my ovaries. I had a positive OPK on a digital 7 days ago and then a temp spike on my BBT chart which since then has been up and down but had my P4 drawn today and 0.26 is my number so no ovulation. This was going to be our last cycle for a while for financial reasons so now i don't know what is going to happen. I wish they would have just cooperated and done what they were supposed to do like normal ovaries. I hate PCOS.
I would like to throat punch my own throat, more specifically my thyroid for being so uncooperative. My TSH was finally awesome at the end on January. I just got my results back from my last labs and it's .16. And of course I find this out at 5:30 pm on a long weekend, I'll have to wait to make an appointment with the specialist.

I would like to TP the mailman. Nothing but bad news today! We received a $4500.00 bill for bloodwork. Naturally DH his the nuclear meltdown button rather than calling to figure out whats going on!
And then, I receive a fedex containing the tax refund check that was rejected by my bank. Followed by an overdraft notice also sent by my bank, because we used our tax refund to pay off our car loan.
My husband worked a 1/2 day today...so he was home for HOURS fuming and not doing anything to fix the issues. Meanwhile I cooked for 180 kids today at work, performed my own job, did dishes, and worked 11 hours. But thats OK! Three phone calls and one trip to the bank later everything is fixed again.
I am in major B mode now. But I'd say DH is pretty lucky to have me to clean up the messes around here!
And no, we don't owe 4500 for bloodwork.

@NariaDreaming - I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling miserable, though I am sorry that you are feeling that way! I also want to TP my vaginal progesterone. While I'm not having a ton of discharge, my uterus area feels like I'm in the middle of one heavy AF. I just plain old feel miserable. On the upside, that has been the worst side effect so far.
ETA: At this point, I would gladly wear a sign that says I'm going through fertility treatments if it meant I could wear my soft pj pants to work.

@calindi, I don't blame you. I got the invite for my SIL's other SIL's baby shower (for her second, self-hosted) and I immediately messaged her on FB that I would be busy (Thank God it's the same weekend as my birthday so I had a good excuse). I knew I'd be the only one there without kids. Andplusalso, her new baby's name is O.livia and that was a name DH and I loved but we see them too often to be able to use it now. UGH.

@RammerJammer ugh that rally sucks. I went to a kids' bday party last weekend at a splash park (kids and babies EVERYWHERE!!) and pretty much did what u plan.
I was there maybe 45 minutes and then left. I got to catch up with some old friends... But they were talking about having second children... Ugh sooo frustrating. And both girls are so nice and so deserving of everything they want so it feels worse to be so annoyed.
@calindi omg how frustrating!!!!!

Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012: In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly

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
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014 BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
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??
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN

October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5

IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN
We are done with treatment unsuccessfully.
I would definitely consider that! My supervisor is very understanding. I have yoga pants similar to hers and she gave me permission to wear them to work. That is almost always what she wears. If you pair them with a nice top and some nice shoes, they look just like black dress pants. I wear them to work at least once a week. After my first injectables cycle, I bought two new pairs of pants that I knew would have some give. I'm very thankful that I did!

I really had my hopes up this time around, and went beta or bust again, which I knew was an emotionally dangerous combination.
This morning when my temp dropped and I was spotting, I knew that I wouldn't be getting good news after my test today.
Overall, I also had a stressful workday, which was not any easier to handle with the impending BFN in the back of my mind.

@calindi - I stay away from other "military wives" as a matter of due course. When DH and I went to a party when first dating, it was my introduction into the military stuff. I sat with the wives for about an hour and walked away horrified. Women who try to wear their DH rank or that's their claim to fame really freak me out.
@RammerJammer - I'm sorry about your cancelled cycle. FX that next month is your month.
@DharmaChick - I'm sorry about your BFN. So, so lame. Damn you IF.
I hate scary/vivid dreams like that
