So, my WTF goes to my dad again. I made the mistake of giving in and talking to him. It's like talking to a brick wall and he has a major case of last word syndrome. What's that banging sound? Oh, right, that's me hitting my face on the desk. Wine, please?

WTF to my left ovary. It hurts like hell, my CD3 ultrasound showed no cysts and no reason for it to hurt.

kushie77 · October 2014

WTF mandatory flu shot. I get that you are supposed to be helpful, but the giant red, painful, hot injection site reaction is not appreciated.

dancerspose · October 2014

WTF Mother Nature! It's not so much that I mind 80 degree days in the middle of October, but when you go from being 55 to 80 in the matter of two days it's hell on my system. I could also do without the 90% humidity in August. Get with the program! It is fall; I love fall; start acting like fall!

@kushie77 I get a bad, localized, reaction to the flu shot every year, and they can't figure out why. It's awful!

WTF, ovulation pain?

I'm so afraid I'm going to go in this afternoon and find out I already ovulated. I'm over-stressing and I need a drink.

I had the same worry the last couple months, but lots of people here reassured me that their O pain usually comes hours before O.

WT...Wondfo HPTs. Can't be sure if I'm seeing a shadow from the trigger or if it's just what they always look like.

sweetball33 · October 2014

WTF hormone supplements.... If you look at me funny today, I might slap you. I swear I'm usually a very nice person

BunnyBerry · October 2014

@sammae I am wasting the morning looking at pictures of "is this Wondfo positive?" It sucks.

Also, WT... that women have to use a hormone that triggers false HPT+s in order to trigger ovulation! How messed up is that? You'd think there would be a better way.

Trying to decide if the 10DPO testing out the trigger was truly neg or perhaps had a tinge of color, because that would explain away the almost invisible tinge on 12DPO, but in any case trigger is probably still there...it sucks.

Why do I allow the 2WW to suck me in the last couple days every time? It's pure desperation, that's what it is. IF is a stupid head.

LindseyM2012 · October 2014

@theholmanherd - HUGS! Family can be the most hurtful people sometimes.

WTF body?!? I could have SWORN CD1 was around the corner the other day. Cramps, fatigue, MAJOR bloating. But noooooo....you just have to be stubborn. Good thing I went ahead and made an appointment with the RE for b/w to see if I can start Provera anyway. I was just hoping to turn that appointment into CD3 b/w and u/s.

Ok....back to smiling

BunnyBerry · October 2014

@lemonliz Thanks, I was starting to get a little excited for myself, but the reality is that there is only the absolute faintest, almost imaginary shadow where a line might be that can be seen briefly only at the right angles...not even one of those really pale but "a line is a line!" kind of things, and if that is a positive, then so is my most recent test from testing out the trigger (I called it as negative thinking it was as light as possible, just a hint of where the line was, and any future positive would be a real BFP, but nope, IF is a real joker because somehow today it was even less for sure that there was anything). So basically I just hate life right now because if I had a straight-up BFN today on CD12, chances for a BFP would be really tiny anyway, but having this crazy stupid thing is pretty clearly related to trigger (I did the half-time math and today is the last day I could expect a Wondfo to pick up on the trigger), so why oh why did I POAS this morning? What was the point? I plead IF insanity. And the cheapness and easy accessibility of Wondfo test packs on Amazon Prime.

SND1231 · October 2014

I am liking this board more and more! I am so glad its WTF Wednesday because I so needed to talk about last night... So my parents are pretty much the only people who know what is going on with all of the IF stuff. Both my parents have been super supportive.. until yesterday... I was having a decent day just trying to not think about how much I hate my wonderful ovaries.. My dad out of nowhere says that we just to need to wait a few months and I would be pregnant on my own. That I was thinking too much about it and jumping the gun going to a RE. So I lost it.. I gave him every personal detail about my non-existent AF and how if there is no AF there is no O and no O mean no BFP!! My husband was standing right beside me and seriously told my dad.. you walked right into that one.. I warned you... Apparently I am a hormonal mess...

@bunnyberry I have used Wondfo preg test bc they are so cheap and who doesn't like free two day shipping on amazon prime.. I have only gotten BFN on them without any shadow of anykind.. Not trying to get your hopes up... but I agree with what the other ladies have said.. faint shadow could mean... a BFP in the future.. FX!!

SND1231 · October 2014

@rainbowbridge14 I agree people sometimes speak before they think and dont realize what it makes us feel like. I usually am a very private person when it comes to AF and IF but I just had had enough.. My husband really made me mad at first with the "I warned you" but then later it struck a funny nerve and I just keep laughing at their faces when I had my "tantrum" lol!

SND1231 · October 2014

@BlueFairy5 you are right it really wasn't a tantrum. I was upset but I stayed pretty calm... well as calm as I could be haha! DH is great with witty sarcasm.. It definitely a moment I will remember and laugh at!

Hollowvic · October 2014

@shafwilson‌ ditto with this weather, I can't stand the humidity, especially in mid October. WTF nurse at my RE office? When she was confirming my appointment for tomorrow for my trial ET and an U/S to make sure I didn't get a cyst from the BCPs, I asked her what if there is a cyst? She responds with, oh it's no big deal, he'll just asperate it. Like it's no big deal to stick yet another needle into my body. Like I needed another thing to be stressed about. I start Lupron injections tomorrow and my stress level is through the roof

BandM14 · October 2014

@BunnyBerry my fingers are crossed for you, but I have to tell you that I had a SERIOUSLY misleading wondfo test last cycle... I had tested every day from 11DPO with very clear negatives, but on beta day I tested again (it was CD1 but my period was light so I thought why not) and pretty much freaked out over the faint line. I thought they were going to tell me that my beta was positive but low... but it was nada. I swore to my husband that I wouldn't use wondfos anymore but I probably still will because cheap. I'll definitely be cautious in the future though. I hope it's different for you though and that faint line turns into a blaring positive!

I would like to WTF to Home Depot. I ordered (and paid for) a backsplash and installation over 3 weeks ago and finally just got a call to set up the install. I called them like 4 times and they kept saying "I'll leave another note for the installer." I could have had my friend do it, probably for way cheaper, right after I ordered it instead of wasting my time with this nonsense. Argh!

@BunnyBerry, I hate that for you! Early TP to the trigger!! But what you're saying is that if there is a line tomorrow, it's a LINE?!

I actually hadn't even thought that far yet, was just wallowing in pity here. And also don't want to be the silly 3-monther imagining things. Guess I'll say a prayer tonight. But I am literally 99.9% sure it was the end of the trigger!!!

@snd1231 Good for you, and YH's response is hilarious!!

@hollowvic "No big deal, he'll just aspirate it" - WT??? So, I know we complain a lot about the vag cams, but they're better than an ovary punching needle!!

Oh no, I am so sorry! I've been burned that way before with them (I assume evap lines, plus I swear that my menopausal mother without ovaries or a ute could pee on one anytime and get a nice pink line one second past the 10 minute mark), but like you, getting tests for $0.40 instead of $1 overwhelms my sense of self-preservation!

WTF head. It's been raining the last three days but today with the sun shining you decide to have a migraine. The bright sun while nice to look at his killing me head.

@theholmanherd - Sorry your dad is still being a giant jerk. I've had boundary issues with my mom and I know you do this as well but it really helped stating when I would be ending our conversations and sticking to it. It's so hard when you want a healthy relationship and the other person is incapable. Wine and hugs for you!

Yes, last night I ended our conversation with "when you can respect me, we can continue this conversation. I deserve to be in relationships where I'm valued and respected, whether you agree or not. I need a break. Please respect that, if nothing else." I was really proud of myself for being clear. I was even more proud of myself for not responding after his chronic last word syndrome led to this lovely gem right after (wording shortened for ease of reading): "you're the one ceasing communication. I'm the only one trying here. ball's in your court. your call."

No mention of saying 'you do deserve that respect' or 'I do respect you and value you'. Nope, he has made his opinion of me clear as day. Not once has he negated my accusation that he devalues me, disrespects me, or treats me like I'm inferior. I asked him several times to negate it or admit it, but his silence/avoidance of the question speaks volumes. He doesn't value or respect me. I'm not worth his time. Well, I'm not going to respond. I know I deserve better.

***hypothetical kids mentioned***

*sigh* I need a drink. Screw wine, I need hard liquor. This seriously has me thinking of getting some counseling. I hope I never make my kids think less of themselves because of me. Sorry this is so lengthy and emo. Thanks for reading.

DSculley1824 · October 2014

WTF to a local glass block window company. You have a special I got In the mail for 4 glass block vented windows for $557. So I call about it but I only need 3 and you tell me it's $778 bc the less windows the more expensive it is. How on earth does that make sense?! Can I buy 4 and just leave one on the floor in my basement then?! (Big sigh)

LindseyM2012 · October 2014

Can I have another WTF Wednesday?

I can’t take the Ebola hysteria today. A client called in to work worried about letting her husband in the house because he came in contact (i.e. was standing near) an acquaintance of the nurse in Dallas who contracted it from her patient. Two therapists with whom I work jumped on that because they're paranoid they'll contract Ebola here in Chicago.

Therapist 1: Did you hear the update on that woman who called about the Ebola? **Proceeds to tell the story**

Me: We should just refer clients to the website because WPO has a features page tab on Ebola education, treatment, and prevention stuff. There’s not much more we can do. People need to calm down. It is not an airborne disease.

Therapist 2: That we know of... (in a snarky tone)

Therapist 1: Yea…didn’t the CDC just say they were wrong about that???

When I again reminded them that it is just NOT an airborne disease, they turn around with eyebrows raised and proceed to whisper as if I don't know they're talking about me.

(Edited for picture fail)

I would. And when they come install it, just say "okay, install those 3 and put the 4th one (insert storage area of your house)". I would not miss an opportunity to snark at them about it. How stupid is that?? Either that, or just take your business elsewhere.

@LindseyM2012, I love your PIP. Sorry you're dealing with such idiots.

harpjolie · October 2014

@BunnyBerry i hate those wondfo tests too. I told my RE i was using those and he told me to throw them away, they were too glitchy and i needed something more precise. He told me to get the clearblue easy with the pink tip. He only trusted the one with the pink tip because he had issues with the blue tipped one....i found it oddly specific but we'll see if it works better

@BlueFairy5 i feel you! i wish i could do a crown braid too but all i can see is scalp

@SND1231 sorry to hear about your dad's comment, but it's great that you were clear with him so that similar comments don't pop up again

@theholmanherd sorry to hear about your dad, sounds like you do need some breathing room from his issues, hopefully that will help

My WTF goes to UPS, i spent half my day tracking down a package that should have been delivered 2 months ago. When i went to pick it up, they refused to give it to me because i didn't have an updated address on my license. Brilliant.

curve31 · October 2014

Wondfo hate! I'm not buying anymore. I'll go to Walmart and buy a cartload of the 88 cents suckers first.

theholmanherd · October 2014

@{HUGS} @Rumbera28‌

Also, HUGS to anyone who has someone to remember on this day.

Hollowvic · October 2014

@BunnyBerry I know right. While I'm awake no less. I Just better not have a cyst because that will make for a BAD day.

cwuredhot · October 2014

My WTF goes to my body....or the Femara or trigger not sure who or what to blame. I am 15dpiui and 17dpt and nothing. No AF and BFP. I have taken Wondfos yesterday morning and this morning and they were "stark white" (I like that saying too)

I just don't know what to think. My RE told me to call for beta when I got a BFP but what if I don't get either....how long should I wait to call them?

WishUponAChild · October 2014

I asked my boss for a letter of recommendation, she wanted me to write it for her... I am currently trying to convince myself that it is some weird compliment.
