Throat Punch Thursday!
theholmanherd

in Trouble TTC
My TP goes to this stupid girl on Pinterest. I was looking for lunch ideas and there was one about making lunch for your husband. She made an ignorant comment about going back to 1952 and I said for housewives, that's normal and even if I weren't a housewife, I would still do it on occasion as a nice gesture. It basically led to her calling me insane, a slave to my husband, and I told her she was a selfish bitch. Good times. But if doing nice things for others makes me their slave, then slap the shackles on because I have a heart for service and I'm not going to stop that because of some spoiled brat.

************Siggy warning, LO & loss***************
Me 37 - DH 37 unexplained infertility
DS born 09/99
TTC since 2010
12/11 BFP - ectopic, received methotrexate, benched 4 months
08/14 - exploring fertility options
Tubes clear, SA for DH all clear
10/14- #1 IUI (femera/ovadril/progesterone), 2 follicles 22/17, post wash count 94 million BFN
10/14 - #2 IUI (Femera/ovidrel/progesterone ), 2 follies 19/20, post wash 111 million, BFN Dec 2014 Femera BFFN Taking a break to explore foster to adopt!
My TP is for basically most drivers in SE Michigan-- 2" of snow is slippery, we get it. You don't have to go all stupid every year and forget how to drive in it. Be cautious, go a little slower. 4WD isn't your salvation from losing control of a vehicle, either. It's basically Christmas already, and all the crazies are out and just... driving, ugh.
It's too early for me to have someone to TP yet. Probably after work though
Started TTC: October 2012
CD3 bloodwork - slightly elevated estradiol (85)
HSG - one tube "a little slow to open" but overall a normal result
SA - normal
Official diagnosis at this point: Unexplained
Waiting until March-ish to seek treatment
12/30 - BFP!
Does anyone still want TPT next week? I know it's a day of thanks, but if you plan on lurking around that day, and want to rant about having to work or crazy family members, I'm happy to post it. I'm not really doing anything that day since DH works so it's really not a problem.
In the interest of not clogging up the thread with responses, just like this if you want TPT next Thursday. If more than 10 people say yes, I will call it a consensus. Thanks!

@theholmanherd that's ridiculous about the person on pinterest. I make/pack DH's breakfast and lunch (and sometimes dinner if it's the 24 hour shift) whenever he works. I partially do it because I'm making stuff for myself so why wouldn't I for him too, and partially for financial and nutritional reasons. If we didn't take food we'd both be buying something which would cost a lot more and likely be unhealthy. Regardless of the practical reasons, I mostly do it because it's a nice thing to do for someone you love.
@lemonliz I'm so sorry your MIL is so crazy! I don't know how you and YH deal with it!
@Dsculley1824 so sorry for the reaction and pain you're in! I hope you feel better soon!
AFM - I TP my belly button (yes, my belly button). It has apparently decided to get infected (or at least irritated in some way) 2 weeks post surgery. Possibly grossness TMI alert - yesterday I noticed an awful smell that I realized was coming from my belly button, and q-tips came out with puss looking stuff on them. Of course I called my RE's office, but they couldn't get me until this afternoon. I can't tell exactly what's going on in there, and it's not as bad today as yesterday, but it's still uncomfortable and gross!

Sorry to all of you dealing with crappy weather and all that entails.
I want to TP the random clumsiness that appeared today as I ran out to my car to grab something really quick. I managed to trip over nothing and fall pretty hard. Now the right side of my body hurts and I tweaked my neck somehow. I'm at school with rehearsals for the next 8 hours, too. I normally don't sit and teach, but I might need to tonight.

You both get my TP for today!

My TP belongs to one of the nurses in my RE's office. I had an appointment already, she comes in as starts asking where DH's frozen, only, samples are, since they're supposed to be there and she can't find them... Long story short, she thought they lost them! Thankfully someone else found it-- no thanks to the nurse who scared the crap out of me!
