    I'm a terrible supporter. I avoid the tww thread unless I'm actually in the tww. Not that I'm not excited, but so many bfps from people I don't know THAT well.

    My biggest celebrity crush for since I was a child has been.... Ray Romano. I used to beg my dad to take me to a comedy show. He knew about my crush and was too grossed out to comply. His short appearance on The Office was so exciting! H is so creeped out by my love and skips the episode on netflix now.
    I know he is 35 years my senior but I can't help myself.

    So, a family member and his wife (a couple of years younger than DH and I) just told me they are expecting. My family member then asked when DH and I are planning to start a family since we are "the last hold outs." I love them and am happy for them, but it seriously could not have come at a worse time (CD 88, plus super emotional me and grumpy DH.) I wanted to walk away and cry, or scream, or something absolutely obnoxious. I didn't, but I sure wanted to.

    Edit to make a few details more vague... just in case...

    @IowaLove89 I'm so sorry. That is the suckiest when it comes from people you love who don't understand. :(

    (This is because I'm at home during the day because I'm on summer break) Every time someone comes to the door and knocks, I have a mini freak out and grab my mace because I think someone is trying to break in and rob us. I'm actually still trying to recover my composure from the USPS knocking on the door because they delivered a package and I couldn't find my mace. I'm completely irrational.
    I am sure you have good reason to be that way honestly! When I lived alone in my first apartment I didn't answer the door for anything unless someone called to say they were headed over to see me.

    Now the only time I get a knock on the door is when a student locks themselves out of their dorm room, needs to vent about their girlfriend, or wants me to look over an paper. I try to hide just as much now.

    @lalala2004 I completely understand this feeling.

    @smvb53 Thanks. He has no idea we're TTC, and today wasn't the time to tell him, but that didn't make it any easier.

    DH has us on a tight budget to get our debt paid off before We have a baby because my spending was way out of control. He doesn't know how much I just spent on pee sticks, he would think I was ridiculous.

    I'm scared to POAS. 

    I've only done it twice before and both times were due to "pregnancy scares" back in my early 20s when I didn't think I wanted kids at all. So I just associate them with drug store bathrooms and shaky hands. I'm guessing the prayers I'll say the next time I take a pregnancy test will be very different than the prayers I was saying back then. 

    I'm only 4DPO (if I ever get my crosshairs!!!!) so I don't need to face this issue yet. But I don't know how I'm going to deal if/when the time comes.

    Couldn't find definition of FFC after searching - can only glean confession? maybe Friday confession?  The first F is.....?

    I cried at work for the first time today. Ever. 

    My time is split among 4 different projects and my bosses on 3 of those projects love me and my work. The 4th boss appears to hate me and everything I do. She told me today that she's never seen such poor work in her entire life. That, with all the feedback she's been providing me the last 5 months, she's baffled at how bad my report is. She said she doesn't understand how I got to where I am in life. 

    I just... I'm not bad at what I do. I know I'm not perfect and I'm new (only been working here for 5 months, only had a "real" job for less than a year) but I work hard and I try my best. I've received criticism before but I have never been spoken to in my entire life the way she just spoke to me. 

    So now I'm just sitting in my office with the door closed crying like a freaking idiot. I never cry. Ugh. Sorry, I just had to vent to someone.

    There's always one person you can't please. Most of your bosses love you. I'd try to phase myself out of her projects by getting too busy on the others.

    Just think of that woman as the 5th dentist who always refused to recommend trident... did I just date myself?

    FFFC: I cried at work in the bathroom yesterday. I had about 20 hours worth of work to do and everyone wanted it done in 8. I'm a frustration crier.

    FFFC part 2: I have not tried temping yet because I'm bitter that JUST as H and I were ready to TTC, I was diagnosed with Hashi's. I'm grateful it was caught before we wasted a year TTC, and I'm grateful my doctor is on board with treating according to current standard of practice. But I'm not pleased that H and I were ready to try in April, and my doctor says I shouldn't expect my thyroid levels to stabilize before November. Posting here doesn't bother me, but I feel like temping would just remind me of the missed chances every month. I'm just gonna go pout in my corner over here.

    ****Pregnancy and baby mentioned****

    Even though I knew I wasn't pregnant, I was "late" and my BFF knew. She asked if I had sore boobs and when I told her no, she flat told me I wasn't pregnant. Well clearly since you got knocked up on the first time (TWICE!!) and had sore boobs, I will too. Thanks for being supportive, enter sarcasm. I don't want unicorns and rainbows but it's hard to take advice from someone who "guessed" when she was fertile and it worked. Also, so tired of everyone on Facebook either having a child or announcing a pregnancy. So. Over. It.

    I unfollowed my MIL on Facebook because I was tired of her race baiting saying how terrible black people are "as a rule" and trying to tie it in with being "Christian" (using quotes because she is the type of Christian that gives others a bad name)

    ...... my husband, her SON, BIOLOGICAL SON, is half black...

    Have graves, completely understand. knew I had graves, but still tried for over a year since my level looked normal, but then became out of whack again. Doctor are talking about doing iodine treatment depending how my number looks, which would put me out of the game for a year.

    The love tit is for the sympathy. Thyroid problems suck. Hopefully you don't need the iodine treatments.

    ****PG mentioned***

    My FFC... and this is going to sound horrible... Don't get me wrong, I love my sister, but I wish I wasn't the sole problem child (medically speaking). I don't wish ill of my sister, much, but damn why does it always have to be me with the problems... I'm all sorts of F'd up and she's over there living life genetic condition and illness free, never a question if she'd live let alone walk, regular on-time periods, PG after cycle #2 with no complications including delivery, as a genius with a typical lawyer personality to a t. To her the universe revolves around her perfect self. I wish she could understand how fortunate she is. Jealous doesn't even begin to cover it.

    I'll add that I am extremely aware I am lucky to be alive, walking, and a contributing member of society while not completely looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

    Today I saw some of those cheesy name souvenirs in a beach shop, the one that caught my eye was "Nevaeh" and I wanted to scream. I had always had such a hard time finding my full first name on those things (it is a normal name just not super common) and yet, here is freaking Nevaeh!! Ugh.
