I have a deal with myself where I don't open the drive-bys on bad ttc days. So I didn't read them. But TWO drive-by "I feel discouraged" threads? Seriously? Bitch I'm entering cycle 8. I feel discouraged too but I don't know who you are and I don't give a shit about you.
Anyway, my real TW is my body. Yesterday was Cd1. Yesterday was also our six month wedding anniversary. So that was a nice present -- you still aren't pregnant and now you're going to be in too much pain to have anniversary sex or go out to dinner. Thanks uterus!
Then looking ahead -- if I ovulate when I have been the last few cycles, our next FW will be while we're visiting my parents for Christmas. Meaning sneaky, silent sex in my childhood bed, if we can squeeze it in at all. Then the cycle after that, O willl be when we're visiting a friend in California and sleeping on his sofa -- no HIO possible. Then my period from that nearly impossible cycle will be due ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I'm starting to feel like we are not meant to have a baby because seriously wtf body.
@adirat You perfectly articulated how I felt about the 2 drive-bys that sounded like they could be written by the same person. I'm so sorry that your body is being a TW. I started my period on our anniversary this year too -- it was such a kick in the pants. Hugs
My anxiety is a real TW. I've mentioned that it's always bad during AF. This is usually why I take a break from TB during the first few days of AF. Yesterday morning while I was eating breakfast, I decided to catch up on what I missed during my break. I opened up the grad thread and saw that one of the posters intro'ed on the newbie thread the same week that I did... and I proceeded to have a full blown panic attack**. My heart was racing the entire day and I couldn't concentrate. Awesome way to start off my week!
(me with my breakfast yesterday morning)
**Just to clarify, I'm thrilled for everyone that got BFPs - but my body/mind was being very cruel to me yesterday.

@julesdp Hugs. It is really hard and I can't imagine anxiety compounding what is already an emotionally draining situation. I know very intimately how hard it is to see your cohort all get bfps -- much as you are happy for them, it is like a gut punch to yourself. I hope you've taken care of yourself today
@adirat I feel you on that cycle timing crap - my O or AF loves to show up at the worst times each month. It's lovely. Also I might be a bad person because sometimes I like drive-bys on my bad days because I give no effs about flaming them.
@julesdp I know exactly what you mean - it's like you know you are happy for them but it doesn't make it easier.
My TW is H's family. The more he fills me in on what they do (which is contributing majorly to his poor mood lately) I want to punch them. They're so selfish and worthless sometimes it disgusts me.
@hartmich Sorry YH family is being such TWs. You totally have my permission to do this to them
@JulesDP Sorry for the rough day. Whether or not I check the grad thread truly depends on what kind of TTC day I'm having. Hugs!
@adirat When I saw the second drive-by this morning, I rolled my eyes before opening and responding because I could have sworn it was the same thread. Sorry you're body is being such a TW . I keep my fx for you every time I see you move to the TWW.
@ChefRamsay Aren't you proud of me for remembering to QFP the drive-by this morning???

I might be the TW. I tried to participate in WTO today, but everything I wrote in the R/R section came across as bitter and judgmental and mean. So I'm in WTO Time-Out until I can get a better attitude.
@swimsister's siggy pic is certainly making for a better day. Hot guy reading TO puppies?? Best thing ever.
Yeah, some of the grads are a punch in the gut. I admit I'm terrible at remembering screen names most times, so to see a name I know I've interacted with, and that was several months ago, it's like

I realized I responded but didn't name my TW. Mine is the same as it is nearly every other week. The coworker who is 8 months pregnant and is always making sure everyone knows that she's KU, as if we can't tell by the very large bell. Today at lunch, she spend pretty much the entire time talking about her other child which always makes me feel left out. About halfway through lunch I left the table with the excuse to go talk to some other friends that were at a different table

@lulu1180@hartmich Obviously I've never been pregnant but I just can't understand why a person would let it subsume her identity so it was the only thing she talked about. ESPECIALLY to those she knows have experienced a loss. Seriously? Just act like a normal human!
my TW today is my mom. She complains to me about my dad's drinking and says we should do something about it so after about half hour heatedly discussing solutions, she ends up saying, well let's just not do anything because I want to have a good Christmas. This story alone doesn't sound terrible, but we have this discussion about my dad's alcoholism every 6 months and she wants support from me and then refuses to do anything but calls me to put me in the middle of her and my father by telling me how terribly drunk he has been. Then my dad calls me to tell me how mean my mom has been.....uuugggghhhhh ADDICTION SUCKS BALLS.

I'm on holidays this week so I'm having a helluva time keeping up with TB so I'm sorry I'm missing out but I have a TW.
Myhusband is being a TW but he's not my TW, my sister is. I texted her telling her I was frustrated with him (my bad, I know) and the next thing I know my dad is calling me asking if I'm in an abusive relationship. What wut.
My sister is taking psych in University and has decided that because I'm annoyed with H, he must be abusive and called my dad to tell him to come get me.
Im sorry, am I not allowed to have days when H is getting on my nerves? No?
My TW right now in general is feeling like I have to hurry up and wait for everything in my life. DH recently relocated us for the second time which has resulted in me having to start all over again with another job. I'm currently going through the always fun new hire process and I actually start my new job in a week. It's annoying that I haven't even been able to enjoy the "time off" though because in the back of my mind I just keep thinking the sooner I get back to work the sooner we can start TTC and buy a house!
@adirat I hesitated to comment on the drive by thread this morning given my newbie status but given it was the second one of day I thought I would give the seasoned members a break. These people clearly do NOT lurk. Lies all lies.
@lulu1180 I have been following your annoying co-worker situation and she literally sounds like the worst. I've had to deal with someone like that too. Ugh.
@JuneRoseRuby I'm really sorry to hear that your parents are putting you in that position.
