TPT

Let it all out.

theholmanherd · January 2015

My TP is to all the madness going on. We have to decide if we are going to stretch ourselves financially thin and move for a position in a different city (same company) or stay in the spider infested house we are in now. I feel like I'm on the verge of panicking about this. Gahhh.

***Loss mentioned***

I want to give a BIG huge TP to loss/miscarriage. I was lurking on the PAIF board and just saw that one of our old 3T'ers had a loss. (I don't want to tag her because I don't think I should announce on her behalf). It just makes me so angry and upset to see one of "our own" come out on the other side of IF and then have that happen. COMPLETELY unfair. I am keeping her and her family in my T&P.

a TP going out to my landlord, last winter we had an issue with bathroom pipes freezing and no water every single time it got cold out. He promised us he would fix it over the summer and insulate the pipes better, well here we are 8 degrees out and woke up this morning (after leaving the water running a little overnight) with no hot water. I have cold water but no hot water! I called my landlord to let him know the pipes were frozen and his answer to me was "well thats great, sorry, I'll try to take care of it but it's supposed to be cold for the rest of the week so I don't know if the pipes will unfreeze". Silver linng: I'm moving in 2 weeks anyway.. good riddance to this crazy landlord.

TP to the douchebag making an illegal UTurn on my way home from work that almost caused a major accident. Luckily I had MIL with me in the car or else I wouldn't have seen him in time and he would have smashed me. And I was driving DP's truck at the time which just got back from being fixed from the last douchebag that hit us from behind. He would not be pleased to hear it was hit again.

Seriously over the idiots on the road.

@cinzink, I just vacuum them and then vacuum up some dog hair and then just leave it running a couple minutes. That seems to kill them. I'm usually home alone these days so I had to find a way. I'm getting a handheld vacuum to keep by my bed if we stay so I can be armed and ready each morning LOL.

@DayDreamSam - Aww ....what the heck Saphira?! I'm glad the pup is basically OK but I would've been beside myself too. I wonder what triggered her to do that ...ugh. (((Hugs)))

TP to today. No IUI today because I missed ovulation. Guess who ovulates on CD 11-12. Me.

oh hey, me too! Sorry you missed it this month, wishing you better luck next month.

@BlueFairy5 If only we could take our time paying those bills like they take their time sending sending out bills.

@CupCakegal930 I hope something ends up getting damaged (not your stuff) that will cost your landlord a lot of money to fix. Maybe then he'll start paying attention to needs. We're having a heat issue as well, but it wasn't until my landlord's daughter, who lives downstairs, also started having minimal heat coming out of the baseboards that they're doing something about it.

TP to my insurance company, who has given me a huge run-around with what is covered and the steps I need to take to get an RE referral. A lot of the information I was given about coverage happened before I switched plans in August. When I was thinking about switching, I called and asked about a few specific aspects and was not told that the IF testing coverage was different. Fast forward to my HSG last month, when I called to see if I needed prior authorization for it. I was told that I only needed to call for surgical procedures. I then asked if I needed prior approval for anything IF related and the guy said no. A week later I found out that my U/S, that was really not fertility related but was coded that way, was not covered (but the MRI for it was because it wasn't coded IF). And now all my blood work was denied. I inquired AGAIN about coverage and was told my new plan did not cover IF testing OR treatment, but the other plan did cover testing. For some reason, the HSG was covered, and I'm beginning to wonder if that was a mistake.

I'm so frustrated that I asked twice about coverage but was told I was all set. I'm also frustrated that the U/S, which shouldn't have been coded as IF, was coded that way, so it won't get covered. So a BIG TP to everyone I've spoken with and the insurance company in general.

TP to work - it is now two hours past when I'm supposed to leave and I'm still here. I really need to be here another two hours, but because DH is out of town I have to get home to let my poor dog out. So, instead, I'll probably be back here in less than 12 hours

RN1175 · January 2015

Sorry for everyone who is having a shitty day today!

TP to this lovely MN weather/blizzard we are having today. We had to reschedule our RE appt that I was waiting so patiently waiting for and really looking forward to. (This is a second opinion appt that we are doing d/t the mess up that happened at the other RE that we are no longer going back to).

We were able to reschedule but, this just makes it that much longer that we will have to wait.

juneroses · January 2015

*opp mentioned* This is a Facebook throat punch. An old high school friend I never see iRL announced her pregnancy after 7 years of trying a few months ago. I was happy for her, and encouraged - miracles do happen! I was not prepared for a picture of her, glowing at 20 weeks, to be the first picture on my feed tonight. I'm 12 dpo, but I'm to jaded to even want to waste the test. I'm just riding it out till AF shows her face. Also, what is up with no BFPs posted since the new year? I keep waiting to see someone turn up after the rush in December, and... Nothing. I love our bfp's - they make me hopeful.

@kbojo24 So sorry you missed your O!! I've O'd once on CD12 and was like wtf?? FX for next cycle.

**OP children mentioned**

TP to my friend who made a mean comment on New Years Eve. She said it to someone else and I overheard (and was then told my BFF's DH whom she said it to) which makes it worse. It was something along the lines of "I just want to be able to have fun on my nights away from the kids and Remy just doesn't understand. I'm sick of hearing about her problems having a baby, it just makes me feel bad." Ummm.... seriously? I was so incredibly hurt by this comment and can't seem to get past it. And the stupid thing is, I never fucking talk to her about it unless she asks!! Don't ask me about how things are going if you don't care. Giant TP to you "friend".

redandblue · January 2015

@sammae I understand about IF messing up other people's happiness because of what we are going through. I have had that happen twice in this journey. One of my BFF's had a 'surprise' pregnancy 3 years ago. She bawled when she told me because we had been trying for so long and she was not trying. Another friend was so caring and sensitive she shared the news individually with me first before announcing it to our group of friends. I, of course, ugly cried not only for my feeling of emptiness, but also that IF even effects those around me who don't deal with it. They shouldn't have to censor their happiness, but of course they do, because I surround myself with great people! AFM my TP goes to the 2 assholes at work today. We planned a big celebration for a one year anniversary of our new program. We have a fairly large team, consistenting of 29 people, and 2 of these catty old ladies sat their looking like they were at a funeral or being mean girls in high school. I even heard one comment that she only has 4 years until she retires. I felt like asking if there was anyway I could help speed up the process? I was so hurt that they could not see the effort we put into making it a nice celebration and acknowledging everyone for their hard work. And now a secondary TP goes to me for letting the 2 bad apples spoil this special day.

BunnyBerry · January 2015

@remy1011 Yuck, that woman is a really awful person! I think it would be awesome if the next time she asks you how it's going, you mention casually, "Oh, I never talked to you about this except when you asked me, but I had no idea that you didn't really want to hear about my annoying problem having a baby. Sorry to make you feel so bad, by the way, about my struggle. How are things with you and your kids?"

Remylove1011 · January 2015

@BunnyBerryIf I thought I could keep myself composed enough to say that I totally would! She doesn't even know that we're seeing a doctor or anything as I've only discussed it with my one super supportive friend. Wouldn't want to make her feel even worse when she finds out that something's actually wrong, god forbide she feel bad about anything. She's coming to a girls night I'm going on next weekend and I'm not looking forward to her being there. Luckily she's not someone I'd ever hang out with alone (more of a group friend), so I will have lots of buffers!

theholmanherd · January 2015

@Remylove1011‌, she doesn't deserve your friendship. (((Hugs))) Be polite, but noticeably brief. If you don't want to confront her, at least don't give her the satisfaction of more knowledge she obviously doesn't want. I'm sorry you have to go through all this

wanderlust508 · January 2015

@Remylove1011 - That is so awful of your "friend". I agree with @theholmanherd - be polite but distance yourself from her.

@redandblue - Huge TP to snotty coworkers. Sometimes it's hard not to let people ruin our days even when we know that they are just miserable and mean. (((Hugs)))

I'm a day late but I had to sneak one in. A huge TP to myself .... ugh I feel like such an idiot. During open enrollment in Nov, I elected to increase myself to the high medical plan (currently at mid). The copays are all half of what I pay at mid (which would be super helpful with all the appointments and meds) and it wouldn't cost me that much more to elect the change. Well it came to my attention when I went to see the Dr today that I'm still at the mid plan. When I called HR today, they said that I never officially submitted my change online .... so it didn't take effect

I did it the day before my surgery so I'm thinking I was just distracted and that's why I didn't follow through. Ughhhh .... so stupid!!!

TP to IF for ruining the happiness of those around me. Good friends of ours started trying for their 1st about 6 mos after us, and he's almost 2 now. They've been trying for #2 for about 6 mos now, so we've been waiting for the OPP. She came over for a visit today and I offered her some awesome local microbrew and she said no. I do not have friends that say no to a drink. So I knew she was KU. Further to my rant yesterday about the world throwing OPPs at me lately to desensitize me, I didn't get rage (yay me!). Friend then apologized about 6 times over the course of an hour for being KU. She looked honestly sick that she had to tell me this and I'm positive she teared a bit. Like, wtf world for not only stealing so much of the happiness that MH and I should have, but you make friends around me unable to celebrate the awesomeness that is their pregnancy. FUIF.

This is such a yes, @sammae!

**OPP Mentioned**

My best friend is currently 7.5 months pregnant and it has caused us both so much heart ache. She started trying a couple of months before me but was being very nonchalant about it. With her irregular, longer cycles I convinced her to start charting along with me. Three cycles of charting and she was pregnant. I was ecstatic and heartbroken. She didn't know how to treat me because she was trying to be so very sensitive. Its been hard. At first she kept me out of her pregnancy but that just hurt me more. She is one of the very few people I can honestly be happy for. I love her little girl so much already. She has tried barring me from helping her with the baby shower because she doesn't want the day to be so hard on me. She sat at my kitchen table and cried because she wants so bad for be to become pregnant. It sucks that I have to be strong for some people and that IF has to make it so hard on people who love us. I feel like a cancer patient or something (I can't think of a better example) because no one knows how to treat me or what to say.
