Throat Punch Thursday!

Good times to be had by all.

My TP is to my dad and brother again. Abuela's surgery is Friday and they *still* haven't made an effort to come out. Well, my day's van broke down, but he's still on my shit list for other reasons. I just sent my brother a tell-off message. I love him and we get along great, but he can be such a douche castle sometimes.

*children mentioned*

not quite a TP but WHINE to my MIL for blabbing on and on last night for what seemed like 20 minutes about people who get KU over and over again and don't want/can't care for their babies. So not what I needed to hear about when I'm struggling to conceive.

BunnyBerry · July 2014

Wow, what a tough week all around.

Just a confirmation - Love Its on TPT indicate sympathy!

I'd like to TP DH's online history teacher who stayed up nights coming up with the most random, unpredictable, and stringent due date system, that has windows of random hours or days for handing in everything and making it impossible for us to organize ourselves as we try to get ahead in time for my surgeries. Why, oh, why?

kushie77 · July 2014

I'd like to TP my online English teacher for numbering the weeks as modules and come to find out Week #8/Mod #8 which technically should be due today was due 2 weeks ago. So the work mod was posted as week 8 but was due before week 6 and 7. And he's being a total douchcanoe and not accepting any late submissions. The entire class missed the deadline. He also refused to put up a calendar with what is due when. To top it off you have to dig through 36 pages of typed word documents with 13 different types of font figure out what the date work is due. and it's usually this big

Another TP to my allergies that have kicked into overdrive. I work up this morning thinking it was mega windy and here it was all the fluid in my ears. I feel like I'm drunk and I haven't had a drink in weeks.

lilmamapanther · July 2014

TP tip my obgyn who didn't send my medical records to my RE until Tuesday now I'm sitting in the RE's waiting area pissy cause they haven't received my records yet...

ashtownyeah · July 2014

TP goes out on behalf of my husband who just texted me from inside the "SA room" at our RE office saying he can't use any lube to get the sample for our IUI this morning. Is this seriously a thing?! I thought for sure they'd have some preseed or something for him to use. Poor guy.

our RE provides mineral oil.

@kkeglar13 - That is so horrible. I'm so sorry that happened to you!!

I don't have a TP right now so you ladies can have mine this week. Hugs all around!

ashtownyeah · July 2014

@kushie77 how annoying! Sounds like your teacher doesn't want to admit s/he made a mistake!

@kkeglar13 creepy internet hugs to you!

@darcyhermione & @emmuffy so sorry! Sometimes moms mean well, but just don't think things through. My mom frequently has word vomit when talking about IF/TTC. I've called her out on it a few times, so I think she's learning.

@theholmanherd sending good vibes to your abuela!

wanderlust508 · July 2014

@theholmanherd - Thinking of you and your grandma. Sorry your dad and brother are not being supportive!

Hugs to everyone else for all the frustrations. I have no TP's this week so I give mine to you.

catlover790 · July 2014

@theholmanherd‌ I'm sorry about your dad and brother. I hope the surgery goes well!

@NariaDreaming‌ I hate those kind of days! I hope it goes by quickly!

@DarcyHermione‌ It seems people who have no idea about IF make the most comments about it! Like no, it doesn't happen "when you stop trying" etc. Shut up! Sorry you had to deal with that!

@Rumbera28‌ Sorry about the job! I hope something else comes up soon for you!

@BunnyBerry‌ and @kushie77‌ Sorry about the stress with the online classes! I hate online classes and only did two that way for my grad work but they were very frustrating and confusing!

@ashtownyeah‌ Our RE has mineral oil also in the office but we did it at home and I called the day before and they said preseed would be okay. I'm sorry your DH is having trouble!

@rainbowbridge14‌ Oh no! I'm sorry about that situation! Losing trust in people is the worst.

My TP is sort of a vent, and it's the same as lasts week! I want to start my period! I've been done with the prometrium for 11 days now and no period in sight. No cramps or anything. I called the RE finally yesterday and the nurse said that was unusual for it to take that long and to call on Monday if nothing has happened and I can get a shot of something to start it. I just feel like this is taking forever and I'm really annoyed about it. With Provera I had a period on like day 2 of stopping. It's so annoying and I'm on CD 126 now, like seriously body!? Okay, vent over!

catlover790 · July 2014

@murrt Oh no! Insurance is so annoying! If it makes you feel any better ours only covered testing but we just got billed for the blood work because that's not testing? Like what is covered then, just the consult and SA I guess. I'm going to have to call and ask but it's very frustrating to think you have coverage (and I called ahead to check) and then have them change it! Hugs!

Sha259 · July 2014

I'd like to TP this week for giving you all such a hard time.

(((HUGS))) all around.

@theholmanherd - praying for your abuela.

theholmanherd · July 2014

(((HUGS))) to everyone that needs them!

Another TP: I've been working out 1-2 times per day (small workouts on the multiple days; sometimes I'm too busy to do it all at once). Do you know what I have to show for it? All the weight I haven't lost! I seriously haven't lost a single pound and I've been working out for 13 days straight. I even dumped my calorie-dense frappuccinos and learned to like plain lattes sprinkled with cinnamon (a big change for me) AND drinking 7-8 bottles worth of water (reusable, 16oz bottle). I just don't get it. I was feeling so motivated and now I just feel like gagging when I see food and I feel so ashamed. It was not this hard to lose weight before, but now I can't get the scale to budge for anything. I should have lost 2-4lbs by now (according to the idea that you should lose 1-2lbs per week). I'm so discouraged. This was the only thing I felt good about this whole trip (as far as something to relieve my stress) and now it's fucking ruined because it's just stressing me out more. FUCK.

tl;dr Haven't lost a single pound in the 2 weeks I've worked out every day straight. I've even been drinking the appropriate amount of water and choosing a healthier caffeine route. It was great stress relief until I got on the scale this morning and realized how useless it was.

Chasity08 · July 2014

**WARNING on this first TP - Children mentioned**

I'd like to TP my MIL for making us have yet ANOTHER sit down with her this evening about boundaries. Without going in to a full blown rant...MIL apparently has to be reminded that talking about killing herself (when she doesn't get her way) in front of my children absolutely unacceptable. And the fact that I have to even have to schedule a sit down to tell her this when she's a 48 year old woman...makes me want to TP her again.

Also to insurance companies...because they SUCK.

Other than that, I really hope you ladies all have a wonderful Thursday. Almost the weekend!

theholmanherd · July 2014

@Chasity08, that's messed up. I'm glad you're setting boundaries with her. Have you read the book Boundaries? By Cloud and Townsend? That helped me a lot with my dad and my MiL and FiL. It really makes you see people differently. I can laugh at some of it now, because it's so clear how maladjusted some people are. Anyway, I hope you come to a resolution with your MiL. I know how obnoxious those can be.

WishUponAChild · July 2014

TP all haters. There is no need for you, your negativity or your soul sucking sarcasm.

TP this depression I can't seem to "shake", I miss the old me.

emmuffy · July 2014

*warning*

TP IF. Just had lunch with a good friend, and they got pregnant with twins on. their. first. try.

FML.

theholmanherd · July 2014

thanks, @murrt. My H and cousin have both told me the same thing today LOL. I am going to stick with it anyway, for the health benefits, but I'm probably going to start counting my calories again. Or maybe join weight watchers. I've heard their point system is gold.

daytonflyer · July 2014

TP to my husbands new job. I am not handling him being gone so much with his long commute and coming home to work. I stayed up last night fretting about what would happen if things ever worked out and we were 1.5 hours apart most days. We are seeing an RE up there to help with appointments.

TP to AF as well today. You weren't supposed to show up until next week and now you are wrecking all of my data!

I have not heard of this book! I am definitely going to look in to it, thank you so much for the recommendation. We have had multiple sit downs with her regarding boundaries, and I told DH this is the last time before I start cutting her out. I just can't have that. It sounds terrible, but maybe she will realize what she had when it was gone type of thing. It's just not ok.

But you know what? That terrible, guilty feeling you get means you're doing the right thing. When you have an issue with boundaries with someone, that means there is a boundary issue on your end as well and your judgement of the situation becomes muddled. I cut my dad out my life for several months because of his self-destructive behavior and it worked wonders for a while. Now that he's reverting back to his old ways, it's possible I will cut him off again. Once you can come at things from a clearer perspective and with an understanding of the difference between hurtful and harmful, you'll be much better off. I highly recommend the book. If you aren't Christian, prepare for religious references, but seriously it's extremely helpful regardless. It's helped me so much. PM me if you have any questions.

StacyLH24 · July 2014

@theholdmanherd - Thinking of you and your Abuela.

I haven't done a TP in a few weeks. Today I would like to TP the fact that I feel like crap. I'm triggering tonight for ER on Saturday and I think all of the hormones are finally catching up. I felt pretty good this morning. As the day has progressed, not so much. I'm looking forward to ER and was hoping I would feel better once all the eggs were out. Based on some recent posts on the IF board, it seems that the worst may be yet to come. At least my ER is on the weekend, so I won't have to take time off from work.

Also, now that I'm thinking about it, TP to the fact that IVF is how we are having to attempt to create our family.

Did anyone else see that article about a woman that got arrested for 3D printing her <ahem> nether region as a canoe? All I can think about now.

You must Google if not. Or don't.

juneroses · July 2014

I'd like to TP my work, which used to have one person doing 1.5 jobs, and now has 1 person doing two. And also a little bit my cat, who keeps chewing on my shoes.

emmuffy · July 2014

@StacyLH24‌ good luck with your ER. TP to needing IVF but I really hope it works for you.

JericaLH · July 2014

** Warning - child mentioned**

TP to my mother, for sending me the pic of my newborn baby cousin without even warning me she was in labor. Great to be smacked in the face with that right at lunchtime.

TP to my dog. For throwing up on DH's side of the bed who knows how many hours ago so that he is now totally pissed off and sleeping in the basement while I get to spend my entire night pouring and vacuuming up baking soda to try and remove the smell from our brand new mattress.

And finally TP to the RE's office for not having an opening for our initial consult for another month so now August is completely wasted too.
