As promised....Throat Punch Thursday!

theholmanherd · August 2014

It's technically Thursday for you East coasters, so let it all out! I will post my TPT after I get home tomorrow. Sorry for a post and run, but Abuela will be getting chemo, and a few other appointments, tomorrow, so I won't be back on until tomorrow night. I look forward (sympathetically, of course

) to all the great TPs!

DharmaChick · August 2014

@theholmanherd - I hope that you and your Abuela are doing ok. Thinking of you.

@Buttmonkey34 - Blech, I get anxiety-driven insomnia, too. Good luck with your ER.

If it weren't for the fact that I know he feels bad about it, I would really want to TP DH. I found out only last week that he would be taking a trip (with friends, not work) this week, nearly causing us to scrap month's IUI. I had already taken my Letrozole and, if I responded on the same timeframe as in the past, he would have been away when the IUI would usually happen. Fortunately, my follie was (very unexpectedly) mature earlier than usual, so we were able to squeeze in an early IUI the day after trigger, but we didn't BD anytime before or after so it is all riding on that IUI.

The other piece of this that is really annoying is that he is missing my birthday for the second year in a row, after also being away for our wedding anniversary (a milestone one this year). I don't need a big celebration, but it stinks to feel like it doesn't matter at all.:(

@theholmanherd‌ Hugs for you and your Abuela. Thinking of you!

@Buttmonkey34‌ I thought I got up early at 5:30! I hope your ER goes well!!

@GinnyJones82‌ I have had it worse lately too! I knew it would happen after stopping the pill since I've always had oily skin but I think I figured I was not a teenager anymore and it shouldn't be bad!! I feel for ya!

@DharmaChick‌ FX the IUI is all you need! I'm sorry your H is going to be away for such important events. Did he talk with you before he booked the trips? Why did he wait so long to tell you? That would bother me A LOT! I would plan something very fun that you want to do for yourself and celebrate yourself!

I would like to TP these endometrin supps! They are really annoying and gross! I'm sure you all know what I mean so I won't go into detail, but yuck!

I'd also like to TP myself! I ordered some cheapie hpts to test out my trigger shot (they should come tomorrow) just to get a reference of how long it takes to be gone... and I know I'm really using this as an excuse to test at 7dpo because I'm a crazy person and like wasting money!!

juneroses · August 2014

I would like toTP insomnia too...and my stupid ovaries, which responded beautifully to letrozole last month only to leave me high and dry at day 18 with no indication that I am going to ovulate any time soon. Plus, I'm out of town without DH for the next three days, so this cycle is pretty much toast if by some chance I do get my surge within the next two says, which would be the normal range. Not looking forward to a medicated period, and not pleased that righty fell asleep on the job this month.

dancerspose · August 2014

Right now I would like to TP my doctor's office! At my first visit, over 2 months ago (!) she told me we'd do the initial round of testing and SA then meet again to discuss what was found/options/whether or not to proceed with the HSG and sono....well after having to wait the 2 months to do my CD3 testing because of not getting my period when I called my coordinator back to make my follow-up appointment I get a run around about how she needs to talk to the doc, didn't think they were bringing me back until the HSG and sono were done...well if I'd known I HAD to have them to meet with my doctor again I would have scheduled them when AF came. Now it's too late in the cycle for me to get them and I may have to wait a whole other cycle to have that done before we can get any answers. Given my crazy cycles that could mean another 2 months!!

Ugh, I am so frustrated and upset! I just want some darn answers and a plan! Sorry, I doubt any of that made any sense, but I just needed to rant.

RNCrystal · August 2014

I would like to TP all the stupid people that get pregnant without an issue or by mistake ... And then TP them again

catlover790 · August 2014

@shafwilson‌ I'm sorry! that sounds so frustrating! Are you anovulatory? If so, could you ask for Provera to start a period so you don't have to wait? It might be too late now, but I could see taking a round of it if you're consistently anovulatory. What CD are you? The HSG just needs to be done before ovulation. Good luck.

dancerspose · August 2014

@catlover i have no idea what i am...we are at the very beginning and have no official diagnosis. although at least this last cycle i almost surely did not ovulate. i am now CD6 and only got my period this time due to a course of provera, which is why i'm so frustrated that i may have to go through that whole process again to even go on with my testing.... if i had known the other tests were necessary to even meet with my doctor again i would have scheduled them when i called about my CD3 labs and ultrasound. theoretically there is time before CD10 to still get the tests done this cycle, but my doctor's office only does HSGs on certain days of the week and I will be past day 10 before those days come around again.

i understand the need to have all the information possible, but i just feel misled by the doctor, which in turn seems to be leading to delays in even getting a diagnosis, let alone plan of action.

drstef · August 2014

I would like to TP all of the stupid fucking drivers who cause traffic, wrecks, etc. They should all of their licenses taken away from them. I have an hour commute one way and I so try to keep my BP down but these SOBs make that impossible.

Happy TPT!

BananaPancakes02 · August 2014

I want to TP my ovaries for not doing a damn thing this cycle, but hurting just the same.

Pintobean39 · August 2014

I want to TP the heat and humidity and prob myself for having so much fucking landscaping in my yard. Between vacations and not feeling well I haven't kept up with my weeding. I went outside this morning at 7:30 am to start and holy shit by 8:30 I was soaking wet in sweat and I'm no where near being done.

drstef · August 2014

@kkeglar13 That is just horrible, but it makes me laugh at the fact the 2 other vehicles wrecked. All I can say is Piss-Poor Driving Karma.

tweetyknicks · August 2014

I'll join @kikimo327 in TPing the peesticks. Negative 10dpiui and 11dpiui.

I'll also TP Prometrium for causing me depression, sleepiness, irritability, sleeplessness, etc.

And TP my insurance company for exempting DH and I from fertility coverage because he had a vasectomy. He's not the only problem, dipshits!

Oddly enough, I'm actually in a pretty good mood this morning. Aren't you glad I'm not in a bad mood? :-P

BKBABY3 · August 2014

TP my boss for announcing in a staff meeting that his wife is expecting by accident. AND he knows my whole story.

kushie77 · August 2014

I'd like to TP my RE's billing office. They just called and left me a nasty voicemail telling me I have a $700 balance and they want it paid by the 15th or they will turn it over to collections. The bill they are referring to just hit my mailbox yesterday. I called them back and ripped them apart, I'm sorry you waited 3 months to bill me, but can I have a least 48 hours to write and mail a check out? The lady was all snotty at first and then she realized this was the first time they has sent me the bill. I will gladly pay what I owe, but you at least need to bill me so I know that I have a balance. Asshats.

TiffW2012 · August 2014

@theholmanherd I'll say a prayer for your family as Abuela goes through chemo

@GinnyJones82 the hormonal acne since being on meds has been the worst!

@DharmaChick sorry your H is missing your birthday after missing your anniversary. That sucks. I'm glad to hear that at least your IUI timing worked out.

@shafwilson How frustrating! Can you have the prescribe you with progesterone to kick start your cycle once you reach what would be the "normal" end?

My TP is for the hot flashes I've been getting at night. I'm not sure if it's the femara causing it, but the last 2 nights, I've had to kick the covers off, then I get cold and cover back up, just to get hot again and kicking them off. Waking up throughout the night due to temperature changes does not make for a good night sleep!

shirleymaeby · August 2014

ETA - Angry typing also leads to many typos so I had to fix my spelling issues. TL;DR - My in-laws suck and so does my apartment complex. The end.

@theholmanherd – T&P for you and your Abuela!

@Buttmonkey34 – Good luck today!

@DharmaChick – So sorry your H missed those important dates. MH doesn't care much about his own birthday but I LOVE birthdays so I expect a fuss. And he never makes one. He gets me a gift and says HBD, but he never makes a fuss the way I do and it gives me the sads.

@juneroses and @BananaPancakes02 – So sorry about your ovaries being bitches!

@kushie77 – Good for you for ripping into them!

@BKBABY3 – I am so sorry, I hate when people are that insensitive.

@iputketchuponketchup – Mosquitoes love me too! I once went camping and slept “under the stars” rather than in a tent. My whole body was covered except my face so I came home looking like I had suddenly developed adult acne.

I would like to TP my MIL and FIL who (despite being told several times by MH that their constant chatter and pictures about his brother's one year old and baby on the way depress him) feel the need to send us text pictures of his nephew like every single day. And when DH called them for his weekly "I'm a good son" phone call all they did was talk about how excited they are about the new niece on the way. DH was really depressed afterward for a whole day and I wanted to call them and chew them out but didn't want to stir up any shit.

And hey, you know what? Let's go ahead and give them another TP because we fly home to visit them once a year but they never ever come to see us. They thought about coming to see us this year but then they were like "Do you have any idea how expensive plane tickets out there are?" Yeah, we effing do. Because we buy them once a year you selfish a-holes!! Their excuse last year was "Your brother is having a baby." and this year it's "Your brother's having another baby." YOU'RE not the one giving birth. Why exactly can't you come see us??

And one final TP to my apartment complex who is jacking our rent up by $500 a month forcing us to move somewhere else.

I feel better now. Thanks.

BKBABY3 · August 2014

@kmdecoux, that royally sucks. It certainly gets old when the priority is to visit everyone who provided grandkids first.

theholmanherd · August 2014

Thanks for the support, everyone! It went very well and she is feeling fine. (((HUGS))) to all that need them and extra TPs to all the fertile bitches you know

BunnyBerry · August 2014

@dharmachick Ouch! I'd be prepping for a real heart-to-heart about important days and feelings. Ouch.

@iputketchuponketchup I feel you on the bites! DH learned early in our marriage that if there's a mosquito in the bedroom, he has to stay up and hunt it down, or at the very least i cover up in a sheet and he leaves himself bare as a tempting treat for any mosquitoes, Lol.

@jmdecoux Those are some selfish ILs! So sorry for you and YH.

curve31 · August 2014

TP to my uterus for not shedding its lining on time. Ever. My boobs have hurt for a week now. Come on.

Thanks! No, he didn't mention the most recent trip before he booked it.

He vaguely referenced the event, which his friends were attending, but didn't mention that he was going.

Ick. I'm on Crinone again and it is gross, too.

Yeah, I had a bit of a meltdown when I found out about the trip - more because of the fact that he wasn't paying attention to the IUI schedule, but I did let him know that it hurt that these dates weren't more important to him. He felt terrible once he realized how it made me feel, so hopefully we're on a better page with that.

ronniesgirl1981 · August 2014

I would like to TP Timehop. Now baby photos come from unlikely sources.

Hollowvic · August 2014

I would like to TP my brother in law's girlfriend who "accidentally" got knocked up 2 months after our engagement. She burns my ass.....

catlover790 · August 2014

@Rumbera28‌ I'm sorry for CD1.

@shafwilson‌ That is so frustrating! I'm sorry your doctor's office is being so annoying. I had a similar situation happen with my initial appointments. good luck getting it figured out.

@kushie77‌ That is so annoying! Good for you for telling them off!

@kmdecoux‌ I'm so sorry about your in-laws. They sound very insensitive. I have some difficulties with my in-laws too and I know it would be worse if we told them about our TTTC. They like to make life a competition between my H and his siblings. It's so frustrating to deal with; I'm sorry you have to. I would consider not flying to visit them and telling them they're going to be too busy anyway.

@ronniesgirl1981‌ Ugh, me too! I think I'm just going to stop having a Facebook; it seems to cause me more stress than fun!

@Hollowvic‌ So frustrating!

@curve31‌ I'm sorry! Waiting for cd1 when you know it's coming is just so annoying!

catlover790 · August 2014

So this is a late TP (I know it's Friday!) but I just saw a commercial and it really annoyed me!

I'd like to TP the actress and/or the people at Burl.ing.ton) who came up with their new commercial for back to school.

pregnancy/children mentioned***

The commercial starts with a woman talking and she goes, "I never thought I'd have 3 kids!! Buying clothes for back to school can be so expensive etc."

It may sound like no big deal but the first part about "not realizing you'd have 3 kids" makes it sound like one or more weren't planned. Or, that it was all so easy to have children. It just annoyed me and if you saw my face staring at the TV you would've laughed! Thanks for listening!

LindseyM2012 · August 2014

Sounds like it has been a difficult week for a lot of us!

I am a day late, but I am giving a TP to my brother. We got into a huge argument at a family gathering last night (not about anything 3T related). I may not be speaking to him for a long while, if ever.

MrsS728 · August 2014

TP to DH's WHOLE family. Bombshell was dropped yesterday night......one SIL moved 3 years ago, but now other SIL is moving half way across the country (45 minute away from 1st SIL), so my MIL and BIL are following her within the next 2 months (my FIL passed away) so DH will have NO family up here except oldest niece because she has 2 more years of college left. What's more is that they think that we are stupid and hadn't figured this all out yet and they are hiding it from us and they are STILL not telling us everything (and we know it). DH thinks that his family thinks we are stupid.

I understand that it's their lives and they have to do what they have to do, but when it's "hidden" from us and we are basically made to feel like we don't (plus eventual family) count, it upsets me. I'm upset for the children we don't have and are having trouble creating!! They'll never know ANY of his family....

Thank you for letting me rant. I appreciate it and feel better.

Edited for more info: We think we haven't been involved in the conversations because they know we won't move. We just bought a house last year and have the dream jobs we always wanted after 3 layoffs (2 for him, 1 for me). We have a good life here and we are not giving that up (nor will we leave my family, who are ALL here).

BunnyBerry · August 2014

@mrsS728 I'm so sorry, that sounds very hurtful.

catlover790 · August 2014

@LindseyM2012‌ I'm sorry. Family stuff is always so hard!

@MrsS728‌ That sounds very hurtful! I can see how them "following" the other SILs is what's making you guys so upset. I would feel a little like they were the "favorites" since the MIL is moving after all that time. I'm sorry, that's so hard!

MrsS728 · August 2014

The thing is that my DH is handling it better than I am. His automatic response is, "You married the black sheep." He enlisted at 17 and was stationed in Germany for 2 years in the Army. Therefore he REALLY left home at 18. He's told me for years that he's the black sheep and nothing we do will matter and now I'm finally seeing it. He's always been the anomaly. Everyone in his family has met someone, had a "whoops", and gotten married by 21 (in that order). He was also the only one that didn't bounce from relationship to relationship. He met when he was 28, dated for 4 1/2 years before we got married, established ourselves in our careers, bought a house and now it's time for children.

I could honestly go on and on for hours with this, so thank you for reading through my ranting and raving.

Update: Now we are being expected to drop everything on Saturday, Sunday and Monday to help my niece move into her college apartment and my SIL load the POD. No offense....My RE said that I could be ovulating Sunday or Monday if #3 works and I'm not about to risk carrying her heavy stuff. His whole family has no idea that we are having trouble and we are keeping it like that because it would open a conversation of "Well, we just looked at each other and poof we were pregnant." It's not what I need right now. UUUGGHHHHH!!!

theholmanherd · August 2014

UGH. How obnoxious. I would not help. They clearly don't respect either of you and don't want to be involved in your lives, so why should they expect help? Repeat after me: NO.
