I'll go ahead and post this now...Throat Punch Thursday

And I have an early one!

TP to work. Way too busy and way understaffed. UGH.

brazenbiblio · May 2014

I know what you mean. I'm a teacher and it is really hard to get away without worrying about my class. I'm also not really comfortable yet talking about IF so it feels awkward taking time off. The end of the year always feels super hectic and busy. 21 days left!

jencity9 · May 2014

TP to my Fallopian tubes!!!! They used to be fine but now they're blocked and are throwing a huge curve ball into my plans to move forward with IVF.

AnnaClaire256 · May 2014

I'd like to TP my uterus. I'm actually a day late for AF now and since I know I'm not pregnant, she needs to get her ass in gear!

I've got another one, clearly yesterday was a bad day. I'd like to TP the nurse who did my IUI yesterday who asked if we have any kids. SERIOUSLY?! Look at my freaking chart! It's an RE office, you would think they'd be a little more respectful.

Omg!!! Why would she ask that at an RE's office while doing an IUI!!! That is crazy.

I'd like to TP Hertz!! Our reservation for our van was at 8am to drive down to the lake w/ my friends & they dont' even have a van for us!! We even called last night to confirm! We have an 8 hour drive, I'm ready to go! They aren't offering anything for our trouble or delayed departure. ANNOYING!

Edit for spelling haven't had my coffee yet

jencity9 · May 2014

I'm with @NariaDreaming‌!! Sometimes you have to DEMAND what you deserve. That is crazy!!!

kushie77 · May 2014

I'd like to TP the animal shelter. We had to take our rescue dog back up to be spayed. I spoke with them yesterday and they told me to be there for 7am as I start work at 7:30. Well I was there but nobody showed up until 8:15 making me an hour late for work. Thank goodness I didn't have any meeting scheduled this morning. Then the guy at the desk was not the least bit apologetic about it, and was in fact amused that he"forgot" that we were coming.

Sha259 · May 2014

@packerfan4life WHAAAAAAAT?!?!? How rude! I would have said something completely sarcastic and snarky back. Like, "wish I did, but you guys haven't been doing that great a job." :-w

@jencity9 all blocked tubes should be TPed. I used to tell my DH, who knew all these years I was on natural birth control... [-(

I will TP my ovaries, for sleeping during my first IVF cycle!! My doc went through all the problems and reasons for cancelling...under response was not one of them. So we were both like, WTF, when my US showed only 4 freaking follicles.

On a positive note, this will likely be my best (and hopefully last) IUI cycle. With 3 possible candidates on the right (good) side. After this, back to IVF in July.

Edited: I can't spell.

Sha259 · May 2014

@packerfan4life Thanks, it would be awesome. But that's the sucky thing about having one blocked tube AND MFI. IUI success is basically a pipe dream. But I'm still praying!! (I'm a realist, but still believe in miracles)

BunnyBerry · May 2014

@packerfan4life Oh I am so, so sorry about the trampling of both your plants and your feelings. What a horrible thing for a nurse to say.

@shay259 Yay for a strong last IUI stand! Hope the pipe dream and prayers pan out!

I'm TP-ing the uro's office...DH needs a new patient appointment, and I have spent up to 30 min on hold each time I call and have not yet spoken to a person. Do they not want to practice urology??

jaytee16 · May 2014

I want to TP my parents for stressing me the fuck out while we're starting our first IVF, I do not need this.

I also want to TP this damn nausea! Stupid injects + stress + my own anxiety that I'm sure is fueling it.

wcasar · May 2014

I'd like to TP my cramps. It hurts so bad today I want to cry. Makes it worse knowing IUI #3 was a flop. My appt is today to see if we can try again this cycle.

MrsCMK2011 · May 2014

*********** Pregnancy & loss mentioned **********************

I have a slew of TP's........ I found out yesterday my sister in law is pregnant with #2 and instead of telling me told my mother in law who then sent my husband a text message and he knew all morning but didn't tell me until 10 minutes before i had to walk out the door for work only after i kept asking him what his mother wanted he looks at me and says " well there really is not a good time to tell you this but ***** is pregnant " to which i immediately got upset over and his response was "i didn't know you were going to get upset about it"......... WTF !!!!!! I got upset 3 years ago when he told me they were KU with our niece(shortly after we had a miscarriage) and here we are 3 years later in the midst of IF still childless and they are KU again of course i am going to be upset you moron!!! and to add fuel to the fire i get to have Forced Family bonding this weekend with her and DH whole extended family , i swear if this is all they talk about i am leaving and i don't give 2 flying Fu@*$ who it pisses off.

So TP to my SIL for not telling me herself

another TP for my mother in law for sending it in a text

and One for the DH for his impeccable timing skills

and one big giant @$$ TP and a drop kick to the face for IF because it sucks a big fat one !!!

Hugs to all that need them! TPT got off to a quick start!

How ridiculously clueless!!

Big hugs to all in this thread!

I would like to TP the 2WW and the mysterious light cramps that I've been having, which I can't stop thinking about. Tuesday's test can't get here fast enough!

I would also like to TP Facebook, for being flooded, once again, with baby and pregnancy posts. I would love to ditch FB, and have been limiting my time on there, but I have many friends for which that is the only way we keep in touch.

pmpknbride · May 2014

I'd like to tp myself or Follistim - I'm not sure if its my hectic schedule with work & monitoring or if the hormones are having an affect on my competence, but this week I have been such a spaz - I've screwed up so many client projects and cost myself a small bundle with all the reprinting, etc. I'm just thankful I'm catching things before its out the door to the client, so they'll never know.

Another TP to PSE&G who really screwed us over - long story, not going to get in to it because it makes me too angry.

It's been a rough week, I need this to end.

Call corporate. Call the GM whose photo is probably on the wall. Post some well thought out but strongly-worded complaints on twitter and facebook.

Guarantee you you'll have your vehicle, and probably a hefty discount.

Oh I abosolutely will be! Ridic!!

chicory · May 2014

******baby/kid/preg mention******* TP to DHs cousin who is thee worst attention whore EVER when it comes to social media and she happens to have thee perfect life (or so it seems) hence the AWing. She's crazy into fitness, has one beautiful toddler and just had their second baby 2 weeks ago. I just can't even articulate how obnoxious her "look how awesome I am" online presence is. This girl blogged about her packed hospital bags, with numbered and labeled photos of each item, down to the smallest thing and with a full explanation. I shit you not, she blogged her husband's bag (which she packed) including a photo of his underwear. WTF. I am guaranteed multiple photos daily of her perfect life, be it her workout, a selfie of her "amazing" body, her food, her coffee, her should-be-a-child-model toddler, and lately, postpartum selfies, professional labor photos, newborn photos, etc. A huge throat punch to me for my gluttony for punishment and just not deleting her from my life. I did stop looking at the blog after the husband underwear blog, and I can hide her on facebook, but I don't think I can hide her on instagram, and that's where she's the worst. Since she's family, I really don't know if I should delete her...but I might have to. Thankfully she lives on the other side of the country and we never have to see her in real life.

@chicory ugggghhhh that is sooo annoying!!!!!

Waterlily234 · May 2014

packerfan...A similar thing happened to me at my HSG...while putting in the spec, the nurse asked me if I "had a child already"...to which I replied... "Ummmm, no. Why?? Does down there LOOK like I had a child? she said "Oh no, your cervical opening is quite small, so I guess it does make sense that you have not had children." Leaving me a) to be sadly reminded that is why I was on the table to begin with, and b) to ponder in silence like what was it that made her ask that then?? My chubs? Do I have a large vagina?

WOW.

****Children and pregnancy mentioned, not mine*****

I'd like to TP life for all its irony and the frustration it causes. My prime testing days start on Sunday (10 DP IUI) and I'll be out of town celebrating Memorial Day with a gaggle of C's fertile friends who talk about nothing but their precious children and how blessed they are. One of them is pregnant so of course we're all going to gather around and coo and awwwww and listen to her talk about her endless symptoms and how excited she'll be to meet her little prince.

Testing on Sunday and Monday mornings and getting BFNs will do nothing but put me in a sour mood and make me terrible company. I have a feeling C will try to coerce me into taking tests with me so I can POAS while we're out of town. Yes, 10 and 11 DP IUI is still early but nonetheless, those negative tests are a surefire way to darken my mood. I'll have to stand firm and say no to the tests. I want to enjoy myself and not be a bitter, progesterone-laden bitch and isolate myself.

kushie77 · May 2014

Can I have a second TP to the shelter as they just called to inform me that Lola did fine, but they decided to close early and unless I can get there in 10 minutes they will just keep her overnight and we can get her tomorrow. I am A) at work and

am 25 minutes away with ideal traffic and hitting every green light. So my sweet puppy has to spend the night at the shelter after she had her little doggy hysterectomy today.

WTF? Who asks that at an RE's office? I'm so sorry you had to endure that.

Mozzarella13 · May 2014

@kushie77‌ that's more than a throat punch!! I think I might be tempted to break some laws to get my dog back!!

jencity9 · May 2014

@RammerJammer‌ That is totally understandable! I would be a wreck too. That conversation and her now having a baby is symbolic to you and it is not being a bad friend for you to feel the way you do. The disparity in life and experiences that we have in IF as opposed to fertile women is soooooooo unfair and makes it that much harder I think. It is mind boggling how some people just have sex in their bedrooms like they would probably do ANYWAY and they get to experience this thing that the rest of us spend soooo much money and go through so many medical procedures to have even a chance at experiencing. So unfair.

*****************babies/pregnancy mentioned**********************
I would like to TP myself. A very good friend of ours came to town about 11 months ago and we ended up chatting about children. She said she and her DH were considering trying for a second and I told her we had been trying for a bit and were hoping for a BFP soon (this was before we had hit the 1 year mark and testing). Well lo and behold she was pregnant the very month they decided to pull the trigger.
I was super happy for them but obviously a little jealous but still not overly worried as we had only been trying 9 or 10 months. Yesterday she gave birth to a beautiful little girl and I spent the entire day crying. I sent a congratulations text to her DH but can't bring myself to look at the pictures and have hidden her posts on FB. I feel like a total shit friend and can't seem to get over some of my jealousy. It just seems so unfair that some people just say okay we are going to have a baby and boom they get to have a baby.
I know her fertility has no baring on mine but I am just having an extra tough time with this particular pregnancy and birth. I think it has to do with that conversation we had about trying and knowing for a fact that it was just so quick for her. Ugh sorry this turned into a huge rant.
TLDR I am being a bad friend and can't get over some of my jealousy of a friends pregnancy and birth.

Aw, (((hugs))). I understand completely. I'm the only person I know who is married and doesn't have a child (some of my friends are single/divorced/widowed moms also). It is the worst feeling, because of course I feel left out. Sure, I still hang out or text with my close friends, but it gets hard sometimes.

****pregnancy and child mentioned, not mine****

I am a NICU nurse and I was at my patient's bed spot when I heard the teenage mom across from me talking to her friend. She said "I love being pregnant and I can't wait to get pregnant again." My jaw dropped. Seriously?? You are in high school and have a baby in the NICU, what about that says hurry up and have another one? I just wanted to scream. She doesn't even have a clue what it's going to be like to have a baby at home and juggle work and school and she's already talking about having another one. My husband and I have a house, an education, good jobs, savings, and umm a DRIVERS LICENSE. Yet we can't have a baby but a teenager can have two. Makes perfect sense!! F*** IF!

jencity9 · May 2014

@Lillovebug79‌ omg!! Unbelievable!!!!!!

@RammerJammer‌ I have a good friend who is TTC and it just occurred to me yesterday now that my plan is going to be more complex, that "oh no!" what if she gets pregnant before then.. Or what if she already is??? And I felt bad because they were not happy feelings I was thinking for her and how AWFUL is that. I had just finally had hope based on my progress that maybe she and I could experience pregnancy together, and now I'm worried that she'll "pass me up" too.

Lillovebug79 · May 2014

Omg @BlueJoan‌ my H has done the same thing a few times!! I was like seriously, you couldn't have waited an hour until I got home from work?? I guess not! Men, grrr!! All that wasted sperm!

@jencity9‌ I can totally understand what you were saying about not wishing IF on anyone but feeling a moment of panic thinking about one more person getting pregnant before you. I just feel like every person I know who has been TTC over the last 18 months has been successful and then there's me, alone with IF. It has made me a little bitter and jealous. And that makes mad feel so guilty!
