WTF Wednesday ~ Christmas Eve/Holiday Edition

Let's hear 'em!

BunnyBerry · December 2014

So glad today is Wednesday, because I don't really want to TP DH's friend's wife, but she certainly deserves a WT..?

Last night, she let us know that they were going to "start a family" soon (hate that phrase). They're both in school, so wants to be preggers in 2nd semester next year, blah blah.

Me: "Wow, that's so exciting! Just last year you were saying that it was going to be in the far, far future."

Her: "Well, I'm 27 now, and I do NOT want to be pregnant at 30, that is just so bad.

Me: "(??) Oh. Haha. Well, I started trying at 23, and now I'm turning 30 in a couple months. So I guess I'd be lucky to be pregnant at 30."

(She knows all about our IF, so I couldn't hold back from saying that.)

@sammae - A happy little bubble sounds like a great place to be! I think I'll try to avoid FB too (with wine in hand).

@rainbowbridge14 - IF is hard enough to deal with around Xmas ....losing your aunt and having all that family conflict is just too much on top of everything else. Big (((Hugs))). I kinda wish I could skip Xmas this year myself! Wish we could hide out together, drink wine and cuddle our fur babies.

@wazzu08 - I think the bump would have putme over the edge too and made me ragey. I'm glad you handled it graciously but I understand the feeling ...been there!

*****************OPP mentioned******************* Wtf to the three, yes THREE "I am a grandma again", "I'm a great aunt again" and "my daughter is in labor" fb statuses today..... And go course my cousin put her first bump pic up. I think I'm taking a FB break for the next day or so. @BunnyBerry‌ I would have said a lot worse than that! Don't know how you held back!

A work related WTF - WTF to my boss for pulling everyone into her office to discuss their numbers/productivity yesterday .... right before Xmas! It was only my 2nd day back from medical leave and she told me my numbers went down in Nov before I left .... which didn't surprise me because I know I was distracted by my impending surgery. I know I'll improve now but it still sucked to get that talk right before Xmas. And everyone else I heard from was also unhappy after their talks. I am taking vacation from today through Jan 1st ....so I guess that's a silver lining. Morale is at an alltime low in my workplace.

Also WTF to myself ... I'm such an idiot sometimes. My Dr told me at my post surgery appointment not to TTC until end of Feb. Although he felt I would probably be OK if I got KU now, he said it was better to be safe and use protection during sex until Feb to allow myself to fully heal from surgery. I almost laughed in his face because the idea that I could get KU now without help from an RE seems so ridiculous and improbable. Here's the idiotic part - Not only are we not using protection during sex ... but the past few nights I have been luring MH into EOD sex. In hopes that I do get KU. Against the Dr's orders. I guess my IF brain is that desperate to make this happen. It probably won't this month (& according to the Dr, it shouldn't). But I still feel so ridiculous for trying to make it happen when 1) I was told not to by Dr O and 2) the chances it will happen are pretty much nil.

wanderlust508 · December 2014

@BunnyBerry - You are awesome for keeping calm in that situation. How clueless is she?! People say the most ridiculous things sometimes.

jencity9 · December 2014

@BunnyBerry‌ omg that is so rude of her! And ESPECIALLY so since she knows about your IF. I think what you said back was very good! Did she at least have the nerve to act embarrassed or remorseful for saying what she did?

theholmanherd · December 2014

My WTF is to a blogger I found on Pinterest. I saw a pin about celebrating Christmas without a family and I clicked the link. It wasn't exactly interesting, but I read to the end. Then there was an update.

***pregnancy mentioned***

Her update is that her and her H won't be alone next Christmas because she is due in April.

I've been trying so hard to find ways to feel included in the holidays and I thought this article could actually help. Now I feel worse. I hate the holidays!

wanderlust508 · December 2014

(((Hugs))) @theholmanherd - I hate being blindsided by things like that!

(**pregnancy mentioned**)
ETA: I used to follow a blogger named Emily who has a site called "Cupcakes and cashmere" with cute ideas related to fashion, food and general lifestyle. Then I recently saw that she's expecting and many of her posts were about her pregnancy. Needless to say I don't follow her anymore!

BunnyBerry · December 2014

Thanks, guys!! I think at the time it didn't quite hit me how obnoxious it was. Also, her DH is MH's BFF, and it's really important to me to keep a good relationship with them for his sake. I think she probably realized she put her foot in it. They're Chinese, and I think the loss of face after I pointed out what she'd said was better than a TP any day!

She didn't act remorseful/embarrassed at all, but they rushed out when I suddenly noticed it was 9pm and pulled out the syringe! (Of course, I can take that shot anywhere from 8-10pm, but it felt like the right moment.)

jencity9 · December 2014

@BunnyBerry‌ LOL love it!

pinkdoggie · December 2014

@wazzu08 - omg I would have been pissed too! I'm proud of you for holding back I think I would have freaked the fuck out right then and there. Even if she WASN'T pregnant it would have ticked me off. Glad you got it straightened out though.

@rainbowbridge14 - I'm not feeling it this year either. I normally listen (and sing) christmas

music from the beginning of December to the end, get a tree, hang stockings, yadda yadda, and this year I did NONE of that. Granted we are trying to save money for RE but part of it is me not giving a shit.

@BunnyBerry - omg that is so rude!! I am so sorry she said that, I'm sending you hugs.

My wtf is to my acupuncturist. She asks me every week if I have cycled and I always tell her no (because I just got done with my progesterone pill. Anyway here is a little conversation we had this morning while she was sticking needles in my hips:

Acupuncturist: I treated a girl once with PCOS. It was not as bad as yours though.

Me: Ok....(she likes to remind me I've noticed how "severe" my case of PCOS is)

Acupunctuist: Yes, she had a little girl eventually. She was very lucky. A lot luckier than you, hahaha!
After she left I burst into tears.

Also a few weeks ago she went into a spiel about how I will only get once chance ever to get pregnant and that I will only have one child because my case is "so difficult". I'm thinking I need to find a new one.

Edited for words

theholmanherd · December 2014

@pinkdoggie‌ WTAF. My jaw dropped when I read that. How awful! I would find a new acupuncturist STAT.

theholmanherd · December 2014

@pinkdoggie‌, Mr. Herd just said "I would have said, ' whoa, for a second there, you thought you were a real doctor'". LMAO

redandblue · December 2014

@pinkdoggie‌ WTF is right! People are just dumb. I do have to say I was going to a Chinese medicine doctor for acupuncture a while ago. I figured what the hell, can't hurt and we had the benefit coverage. It's hard to wrap your mind around Chinese medicine if you are used to western medicine. Anyways when I went for my first consult she told me that my uterus was like winter and nothing can grow in winter! Made me laugh! Apparently even after warming my uterus, nothing still wants to grows.

wanderlust508 · December 2014

LOL at what the acupuncturist told you @redandblue! It really is hard to wrap your mind around Chinese medicine when you come from a western point of view. I do have belief in it but sometimes when they tell me my "chi" is "stagnant" I kinda pretend to know what the heck they're talking about.

WTF to MH ....I was wrapping a gift for my dad just now (north face hoodie) and he told me it was tacky (because it had a big logo). He asked why I chose it. Apparently I am not strong enough to handle criticism of any kind this holiday because I promptly burst into tears when he said that. Ugh ....it's gonna be a long few days!

juneroses · December 2014

@EastBayBride508‌ - you are kind - I would have told DH he just got the job of doing his own shopping for his family.

I'm sure your FIL will love what you picked it out for him.
