TP to my co-worker who thinks that a ten minute break means "half hour break" and who thinks a half hour break means "an hour break." I'm a preschool teacher, so that means I am stuck alone with a bunch of napping four year olds and a fill in teacher that has no idea what the hell she is doing. Here's to a 4 day weekend away from her!

My TP goes to my pressure cooker. It has never sealed correctly (except the first time I used it). It was my first one so I have no idea why it won't work and it was expensive! I'm so pissed.

@BlueFairy5 I'm sorry you're spotting! My LP used to be short that's why they gave progesterone post IUI. I don't get AF until I stop the drugs after negative blood test... I know mines about to come and I'll be benching myself for December and the holidays... I'd like to TP that decision too!
TP to birthdays, holidays and all other awful milestones. Wine for everyone!

I was going to give myself a TP for getting teary eyed while watching my PVR'd episode of the voice this week. Like they are singing, who cares, but I get emotional when some people show their talent....but I will settle for a throat flick and give my TP to @cateyes543 and you or asshole SIL. Sorry family gathering get ruined by idiots.

Can I TP myself? Haha! I went Black Friday shopping with my DH, mom, and brother. We have been shopping for about 3 hours and my hip( replaced about 3 months ago) was killing me and swelling horribly. I was super nauseated and just felt rough. So I decided it was time for us to leave. My brother starts teasing me. Just like we always do, and I lose it in the middle of the store. I start crying for absolutely no reason. Yes I was hurting and not feeling well, but definitely not bad enough to warrant the breakdown. Oh to make it worse we were in line with about 6 people from my church. I am going to blame it on spending the day with too many children and my horrid hormones that have been insane lately.

Thanks @rainbowbridge14. I came home and put my sweats on first thing and curled up with my heated blanket and just cried. My poor hubby just didn't know what to do, so he just sat there next to me and was so sweet. I know tomorrow will be better

Not sure if I like the idea of TPing my own mom, so...a TP to ignorance.
She voiced concerns over risks of cancer associated with the hormones I'm taking. Apparently she and my grandma were discussing this. Their sole source of information - the fact that a random friend did fertility treatments at one point. And also ended up with breast cancer, a double mastectomy, and now a poor prognosis.
I calmly shared with my mom exactly what the RE had told me (when I voiced my own concerns), that any suspected risk of cancer with the Bravelle shots I take has been shown to be correlated with the type of women who need fertility treatment, not the treatment itself. And added that increased estrogen is linked to cancer, but I'm getting it in the amounts that equate to having a few extra menstrual cycles in life.
Her response - "You really need to think about doing this. Do you want to finally have kids and then not be around for them?"
WT.., histrionic much? She recently did a master's degree in social work and I know she learned how to research, evaluate sources, and think critically about disease/risk. I finally told her that those words were ringing in my head all day, and I couldn't figure out if I was more upset from the fear-mongering or from the fact that my mom doesn't care about me enough to take the time to give real, caring advice instead of garbage because apparently any excuse she can find she thinks I should stop trying to conceive. (Anytime I mention something difficult about the process - hard to rearrange work for an appointment, or SEs, or whatever, she says, "You know, you don't have to do any of this").

@BunnyBerry I'm sorry!! I also have researched this as I already had cancer one time and didn't want to put myself at any higher of a risk for my future. From what my oncologist, myself, and my RE found there is nothing that links the meds themselves with the cancer. Yes estrogen does cause some cancers to grow faster etc but it doesn't cause it to develop in the amount that most of the ladies here are taking. I'm sorry your mom isn't supportive (((hugs)))
@BlueFairy5 thank you! Today I am determined to start fresh...
