    TP one of my kind-of-bosses for delaying a publication for more than four months because he keeps changing the scope of the project and doesn't make timely decisions.

    Also TP I don't know who for DH's son's anxiety and drug problems. At least DH's ex for the latter since she started the kid on drugs and introduced him to the crowd that got him into harder stuff. Tired of dealing with all of it. The hope of getting past it keeps me from considering leaving. DH is too sweet to give up.

    ETA: Oh, and TP my car for not starting when DH was trying to take his son to a walk-in clinic for an anxiety attack.

  • TP to my second medicated cycle coming to an unsuccessful end. I accidentally forgot to do my Crinone suppository last night, and so of course I woke up bleeding today, 13dpo. Sigh. 

    @tweetyknicks So sorry that you and you husband are going through that. You are great for sticking through it all. I hope he finds recovery soon.
  • *****Other Person's Fake Pregnancy Mentioned******

    TP to my brother's girlfriend who faked a pregnancy just to get attention. I knew something was strange when she said she was craving pickles and she was like 5 seconds pregnant. My brother  rents out a room downstairs and I was probably going to have to ask him to leave because I was not going to walk around my house with a pregnant woman who got pregnant on accident. One morning, before we all found out she was crazy, she even came upstairs and asked me what to do for morning sickness....really?! DH jumped in and asked her nicely to go back downstairs.....because she was about to get it.

    My brother was almost homeless because of this girl.....jeez.

    TP to the previous owner of our new house. AGAIN. You don't fucking live here anymore. You haven't lived here for two weeks. So why in the hell you think it's appropriate to ship a package to our house FedEx 2 day shipping (says it right there on the label, asshole) and then show up at 8:00 pm and wait for it.. send your fucking 11 year old to knock on the door and innocently ask "did my Dad receive a package here today?" while you wait all shady-like in your truck. Our house is not your personal post office and stop sending your kid to do your dirty work ya dipshit. 
    Haha, wow. I would have gone out to the truck and said "I haven't seen anything, but your mail forwarding service should take care of that for you. I'm not comfortable with you showing up at our house unannounced, so leave your forwarding address and I will forward this package if I see it. Please be sure to change your address online because it takes things a lot of time to get sent back and then resent to the right address!"

    TP my raving lunatic of a mother who drunk-dials me at bed time.  News Flash: you are the cause of at least half my stress! Now let me go to sleep!

    TP my co-worker who constantly talks about her kids, her friends kids, random kids she sees on the street and then looks at me and asks oh so sweet… “So… when are you going to try again…?” or “How are you doing? Are you still ok about losing it? I think you're just handeling it in the most positive way!”<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  • @raindbowbridge14 sometimes I seriously wonder why they have such ignorant people working with people who are obviously going through a lot. Sorry.

    @murrt sorry for the BFN

    My first TP goes to the check in lady at my appt on Tuesday- I go to write in my name, it also asks who you are seeing your birthday etc. I write it all down and go sit down. She calls me back up there and says is this birthday correct? I looked and said yes. She goes oh my you are the youngest person I have ever seen in here don't you think you are rushing things by wanting a baby and shouldn't you wait a little longer before you say you have IF?? I wanted to scream!!! It's not her business if she thinks I am too young to have a baby or even see an IF doctor. I know 22 is young but for goodness sake I am not making my issues up! My RE said I have ovaries of a 35-40 year old ( no offense to those that are that age). I just wanted to cry....

    Second TP- ***OPP mentioned***









    So yall remember the story I told you of my "friend" who is 11 weeks pregnant with her second constantly complaining and crying to me about how much she regrets it and it sucks yada yada. She went to a baby shower and I didn't go and explained to her it was just too hard to be around OPP and babies etc.. She got all mad and walked off. Today I saw on fbook where she posted about how it was nice to have a few people who actually cared about her and were happy about her pregnancy even though others were being rude. Then I look at my phone and she has texted me saying I was selfish and needed to get over myself!

  • TP to my old RE who wasted 2 years of our TTC journey w/ misdiagnosis.....new RE said I had better notes than the ones they sent over, which I agree since i asked them for a copy of it. Glad I didn't waste another 3 cycles with them. Now need to rush and get final bloodwork in before the next cycle.

  • @TTCBABYJ, I can't even believe how F'd up that is.

    @DaydreamSam, sorry about Gracie. It is hard to lose a friend, no matter what species they are.

    @DSculley1824, it took me 2 hours to get to work this morning, and I only live 10 miles away!

    @deelopj, I feel your pain. I am going through something similar in the wasted time department. It sucks. I am glad you found a new and improved RE.

    My TP goes out to the universe because I really can't think who else to throttle in this situation. We are switching over to the new RE, but for some reason they can't get the paperwork for the cryobank we use ready in time for the next cycle. Which means I might be benched. Not the biggest deal, I know (I especially feel bad gripping about this when other people are dealing with so much worse), but we finally have a plan that might work and we have to wait again. I don't understand why there isn't enough time to use our donor sperm, I haven't even started my next cycle yet. I can't seem to get any straight answers from anyone. Its like the universe is giving us an extra little kick in the balls. If we didn't have to use donor sperm, we wouldn't be benched. Its not our fault that we don't have sperm! Right now I am just out of energy. I am desperate and angry and I feel like this is going to break me :(

    The worst part is that even though I know this current cycle has a minuscule chance of success (I also got a BFN this morning even though I told myself I wouldn't test this early), I have this desperate hope that maybe it will still happen this time. Then we won't have to bench and we can just be happy again.

    Whoa, sorry for being such a huge bummer! On a less serious note,
