Omg that was comedy GOLD! Also kudos to all who got the QFP. After all, TB never forgets! 😂

Ugh I’m over here in the age of the dinosaur until my data resets tomorrow.

I’m having serious FOMO and missing you ladies because I can’t neglect my real life and hop on here whenever and wherever 😭

Update to the Smell Saga!

I FOUND THE PROBLEM! The person who put in the air freshener added a SECOND (different scent) air freshener and it smells awful! It was hidden in the driver side pocket, my boss mentioned it this afternoon when I told him it's getting detailed tomorrow!

In retaliation, I have brought the offending air freshener inside the building and have left it in the offender's office. With the door closed.

@mvt2003 I just snort-laughed. You go, girl!

bows22 · October 2019

@tyrion_ I have to wait until Monday before my data resets! I’ve been pretty much MIA because of this all week. I ate lunch in a parking lot and used a store’s WiFi yesterday so that I could at least read but it didn’t leave me time to post. On a positive note I realized that my “WiFi assist” was on so I’m hoping that turning it off will help keep me from blowing through data

tyrion_ · October 2019

@bows22 I thought I was the only person on earth left that didn’t have unlimited data 😂

mvt2003 · October 2019

I had my first viewing of Hocus Pocus of the season last night! I spent the last half hour of the movie watching it from the treadmill while I ran. It was really fun, and reminded me of all of my favorite "Hocus Pocus b*tches"

2 Peggies in one day.

mvt2003 · October 2019

This peggy-troll needs to learn to keep her stories straight, is she a scared 18 year old who's wondering if she's KU or is she actually TTC and in a TWW? Not that I care, just for the interest of posterity.

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@mvt2003 my blood is boiling over that Peg right now.

mvt2003 · October 2019

@emeraldduchess SERIOUSLY!

I am THRILLED to be able to offer any support to fellow TTGPers, but dude. Walking into a crowded room basically waving a pee stick? Nope.

I am convinced we have a troll problem. The Peggys are all starting to take on very similar tones and follow patterns. And they all seem almost perfectly created to trigger everyone, right down to the "I just got a BFP." I may start tracking this.

ziggymama06 · October 2019

So f*ucking fuming

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@ziggymama06 now the reason for closing the thread has me riled up again.

dpchickens · October 2019

Right?!?!? I popped back in to give hugs to ziggymama06 and saw the 'reason' for shutting down post. Now we wait for all the warnings we get... grrr

tyrion_ · October 2019

WTF?! @dpchickens got banned? I feel like that was mild. Those that are struggling with IF or CNBC should have a special leniency rule where they can verbally slay these Peggys without consequence.

gingermama29 · October 2019

@tyrion_ wtf seriously?! Her gifs were super mild. I can't believe she got banned for that! Total BS.

swizzlemalarkey · October 2019

I took a nap and missed out on the snark! Sorry to see dpchickens got banned

hugs to everyone that person hurt

Homegirl seemed to know a lot about this process to not want to be ku. Def sounded like a troll.

ziggymama06 · October 2019

I definitely thought dp's comments/gifs weren't that bad... I'm seriously shocked 🤯

charmedlifex3 · October 2019

Chickens I’m sure will send a “friend” to us soon.

This happened a year or so ago too.

With dpchickens “friend”

tyrion_ · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I figured as much. My friend appeared in the same show as my current handle just in case one of these Pegs gets me.

emeraldduchess · October 2019

Rumor has it there is a sequel to Hocus Pocus in the works! 😲😲😲 It's supposed to stream on Disney+ but probably not until next year.

charmedlifex3 · October 2019

Today... sucked. Tw. Pregnancy - all stages

I had a conference for work. Assigned seating, and I’m right between a woman due on thanksgiving (so pregnant I could see her belly moving from kicks) and a friend who just came back from maternity leave last week. Then - if that’s not bad enough TWO people told me they / their wife is about 12 weeks pregnant. “So we can tell people now!”

tyrion_ · October 2019

oh, that’s brutal, @whatsbumpinpumpkin. I am so sorry for all those triggers. Hugs, lady, that’s a lot to digest in a day.

photographerwife · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I’m so sorry that you had a rough day. That sounds like torture. *hugs*

bluetickgal · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin so sorry, that sounds miserable! Sending you so many hugs!! 💜 I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend that is trigger free!

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I am so sorry, that's so tough. So many hugs.

charmedlifex3 · October 2019

Thanks guys- I usually have pretty tough skin, but it just kept going

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin I swear the triggers come in big waves, one on top of the other. It sucks so much.

NYTino24 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin

I’m sorry. It sucks and you are not alone. I was hit with two announcements today, one I knew about since I saw her at the OB when my second loss was being confirmed (and her due date is right around when mine would have been) and another couple who got married last month announced they’re 3 months along (and again due when my third loss would have been). At that first appointment i mentioned, I also saw a friend who had her baby yesterday. It’s really impossible for me to escape.

b_1029 · October 2019

Once people have a baby, is there some sort of contract they have to sign that says they can ONLY post pictures of their babies from here on out???? Is it weird to say I miss the dumb sh*t like food pictures? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I get that babies are awesome, but dang.

(My best friend totally applies to this too)

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@b_1029 not weird at all. I've unfollowed a lot of people because I got sick of seeing their LOs and the constant bump pic/updates.

KNB1027 · October 2019

@whatsbumpinpumpkin and @NYTino24 so sorry you both were faced with such big triggers! Sending hugs and calming energy your way.

I go back and forth with people posting family pics on social media - it makes me sad and jealous because I expected to be there by now but also I have a lot of friends who faced IF so it makes me hopeful to see they had success.

ETA: Because I hit submit before actually finishing the post

mvt2003 · October 2019

I’m feeling slightly smug tonight because (admittedly due to terrible circumstances I would never wish on another person) some members of my IL family are scrambling to find race replacements for tomorrow’s marathon relay. I was kind of miffed I wasn’t asked at all to begin with, so I felt a certain satisfaction telling them I can’t help them out, I already have other plans and I’m keeping those.

tyrion_ · October 2019

@mvt2003 and @ttcbabyodo Hope your races went well!

My races (a 2 miler right before a 5 miler) went well. It was super hot and humid (85 and 95% humidity) which sucked but I survived. However I encountered an unexpected trigger and cried in my car before the race.

***TW loss mentioned**

I don’t know what I expected but my race parking ended up being at the stadium where my miscarriage started. It was something when I saw the building and just felt everything I experienced that day again.

gingermama29 · October 2019

@tyrion_ I'm sorry for the unexpected trigger. Sending you hugs

babyodo · October 2019

@tyrion_ - I'm so sorry for your trigger. That royally sucks when it comes out of nowhere like that.

My race went well! I actually finished a tad bit faster than I had estimated, which was a nice surprise since I didn't train for this race at all. It was actually the furthest I've run in one go since my last HM (St Paddy's Day last year). It was also cool to see my friends' band playing the finish line party. I hung out longer than I intended to simply because it felt good to be doing something 'normal' again (running races, listening to my friends play, etc).

TW - Loss mentioned below

My whole reason for signing up for this race is because a week after my MC I was feeling blue and wanted to do something that I know brings me joy. As a runner, going on long runs is my therapy, and one of the best feelings in the world is the energy at a race. This particular race holds a special place in my heart because a bunch of my friends and I used to run it together as a proof-of-time race for when we'd sign up for the Princess HM. Well, they've all since moved away, but I still like doing it anyway. It was all fine and dandy until I crossed the finish line and started having horrible cramps. I had to go to the port-o-potty and saw that I'm bleeding heavily again. I'm not sure if it was all of the exertion or what, but it's like I've started this whole process all over again. So, today is day 16 of bleeding, and I'm getting really tired of it. It's a constant reminder every time I go to the bathroom, and it's really holding me back from moving on from this. I've done my grieving, I've cried my tears, and I miss being 'normal'. I have to go back in for more bloodwork on Wednesday, and if I'm still bleeding by then, then I'm going to ask for another US to determine whether or not I need a D&C. I'm really trying to avoid that though, because it'll put me out of work and seeing clients, and I can't afford to do that right now. Even so, I'll do what I have to do, but it would not be ideal.

emeraldduchess · October 2019

@ttcbabyodo @tyrion_ I am so, so sorry. Many, many hugs to you both.

It feels like a lot of us angel moms are getting hit super-hard with triggers this week.

bluetickgal · October 2019

@tyrion_ glad your race went well but so sorry for the trigger! Sending you all the hugs!! 💜

@ttcbabyodo glad you had a good race with a good pace. So sorry for the constant reminder and not being able to feel normal! Fingers crossed you don’t need a D&C and the bleeding stops...like today!! Sending so many hugs your way!! 💜

mvt2003 · October 2019

@tyrion_ @ttcbabyodo thinking of you both today. Glad the runs went well, so sorry about the awful loss reminders.

My run went ok - the trail was in not-so-great condition due to torrential rain, so they were cautioning everyone at the starting line to go slowly on the slippery leaves. I finished 10 minutes after my normal time, it wasn’t worth falling.

This was the final race in my series I’ve been doing since April, so I felt very accomplished! I probably won’t do the entire series again because I hated one of the trail races, so this was my only chance. I’m proud I finished, and the post race shower felt amazing.
