  2) I don't find Channing Tatum that sexy. He's sort of American-boy-basic, to me.
  
  I agree somewhat @lgsdesigner. His face is ok, he can't act to save his life but OMG does the boy have a body!!!!
  
  
  I may get some slack for my UO but I don't have sympathy for people who have bad things happen to them because of poor choices they have made. Like losing your job because you did something against the rules thinking you wouldn't get cought. Or if someone goes on vacations and buys new cars but has their house forclosed on.

  I completely agree with bad things happening because of your poor choices. 

  
  

  I also want to scream at people who always complain, but won't do anything to change their situation.  Seriously, if it's that bad, figure out a solution and pursue it!

  Me 38 DH 40

  TTC since Dec 2010.

  Diagnosed anovulatory, HSG clear. Slight MFI- borderline count, but excellent motility and morphology 

  Nov. 12- Feb.13 Gonal F + Ovidrel + IUI = BFN

  Lap April 13. Found blocked tube and bridged fimbria. Opened tube and cut fimbria. All clear 

  June 13  Gonal F+ Pregnyl +IUI = BFN Stopped treatment with RE due to side effects from drugs and told we needed IVF.

  Oct. 13 started Accupuncture and Chinese herbs- being monitored by RE. Getting better response- e2 and follie size. 

  Now RE says TI till March, then IUI. Fingers crossed,

  YES!!  And I'm especially sick of people being shamed and ridiculed for refusing to participate.  Being a good person does not require me to behave like a lemmings.  Why can't I donate to the charity of my choice without dumping ice on my head.  SO over it!
  
  Yep! I agree!

  I second the ice bucket challenge stuff. 

  
  

  Here are a few things that irritate me about it:

  
  

  1) People are dumping like a glass of water or a small amount on their heads. This is about people who have ALS that can't use their muscles and feel numb every day. The water is supposed to make you feel like that for a few seconds so you get to experience what they feel. 

  Therefore, the water is to be SUPER cold where the ice cubes don't melt and you leave the ice in there for a while prior to dumping. You don't get a glass of luke warm water, put a few cubes in it and dump. You are missing the point.

  
  

  2) Everyone and their mother is doing this challenge, and no joke, I see about 30 posts a day about it. But for the love of lasagna...DON'T do this to your pet OR your infant (I have seen the videos).

  
  

  3) If you nominate someone and they don't do the challenge, don't put them on blast on social media and say "They are a coward". No. They just don't want to join the clan of constant video postings that people are tired of watching. They would much rather simply donate. 

  
  

  end vent.

  Unpopular opinion: House of Cards is the most boring television show ever. Seriously...drone drone drone exposition implausible twist drone drone exposition. Gah.

  
  

  I loathe the ice bucket challenge, too! So I guess it's a popular opinion? I give to charity, but I don't make a big self-serving to-do over it.

  Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

  
  

  Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

  
  

  UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

  My UO: I hate that people have to announce ON FACEBOOK that they are taking some time away from (or deleting their profile from) Facebook to actually live their lives. Just don't sign on to Facebook, derp-face. And, how about this: if you let a computer or a social media site to consume so much of your life, you are going to find some other replacement time-waster to fill your days with instead of actually living. Good luck with that. (Plus, they usually return to FB in a month anyway.)

  I don't like sushi either! I really just think it tastes like crap in general... and yes, I've tried it several times and several different kinds. 

  
  

  
  

  My UO: I don't see the point of Facebook. I haven't joined and don't ever intend to. (Well at least until/if I have kids and they are old enough to have a page that I feel the need to police. lol) My friends actually have to call me to get in touch and I prefer it that way. And I haven't seen one video of the ice bucket challenge... which I consider to be a big plus

  I love Dolly. She's fantastic, and I actually really like her music. I'm a fan of old-time country, the current stuff just annoys the crap out of me. It has all the twang and none of the soul, instead it's just all random commercialized shoutouts about trucks and dogs and whatnot.

  Yes, this exactly!  I love classic and alternative country, and can't get into the contemporary version at all.  DH and I have this discussion ("argument" is too strong a word) all the time.

  I'm actually OK with handholding (I'm a big softy), but I am right there with you on the whole soft skills thing.  I hate, hate, hate that a decent chunk of my job depends on networking, "relationship building," and general schmooze.  I really hope DD learns hard skills unique enough that she doesn't have to deal with that, like for example maritime mechanics: yup, yup, yup, uh-huh--look, did you want me to fix your boat or not?
