@tyrion_ I love that they actually gave Jonathan Groff songs to sing this time! He only sang "reindeer are better than people" in the first one and he's a trained broadway performer with an incredible voice! I was shocked he didn't have more songs, so I'm happy to see he has a few this time!

@kpearse99 December will go fast since I'll have the meds to take and countdown the days to monitoring appointments. And then January and February are super busy with the high school robotics team we mentor with competitions in March so hopefully that plus the meds for the real FET make it zoom by!
I actually think it's entirely possible that the FET will be in early March just after our first regional event with the beta test being 10 days later in the middle of our 2nd regional event. What better way to find out you got KU than to find out in the middle of the competition for the program you not only mentor, but also met in when in high school. It's so cheesy but so cute.

Guys I got a warning from one the peggy post! Apparently I did not allow for new people to "enjoy the site". This really makes me laugh because I feel like there post makes many women on this board not enjoy the site at times. I didn't even say anything mean, just the truth.

@blackgirlmagic also how can they claim you're not allowing new people to enjoy the site if that Peggy never even came back after her initial drive by post? 🙄 So ridiculous that you got a warning for that.
@blackgirlmagic I got the same warning back in September because of my reply to someone who had posted in the grad check-in thread who had last participated in the board a good month or 2 prior. Literally out of the blue posts with their 4+1 on how far along they were. So a fresh positive right? Absolutely wrong place to post when they had only ever posted on this board a handful of times.
I was also pretty fresh off my failed FET so I was feeling particularly angry around that time.

I replied to my warning message. I call BS on my warning and I asked if the original poster got a warning as well for making this site not enjoyable for posting a positive test on the TTGP board.

@blackgirlmagic FYI, they won't even deign to honor you with a reply. They never did for me. TBGs have really gotten holier than thou with their extra-inflated sense of selves. They hand out warnings to regs like crazy for all sorts of trivial things... but do NOTHING (or next to nothing) to all the peggies and people who barge in and insult us. *sigh* I've got a 'friend' who is waiting for the right day/mood to post a diatribe about this. #WaitingForTheFinalStraw
@capnjackharkness well that’s upsetting to know. This site is a great space for ttgp and pregnancy, but the apps sucks and clearly there administration needs a revamp.

I think all of the boards need a clean-up - there is clearly a MASSIVE amount of data on the back end (after all, TB never forgets!) and there are stickied posts on a lot of the boards that are ads from 5 years ago. Additionally, there are so many ghost boards on here that it makes me kind of sad. I wonder if someone took on data clean up if things would get better functionally? Just a suggestion, BGs!

@inthewoods23 right?! I don't get offended easily, but this one was a little too much! Her response to my "I'm 35" comment was "Oh, well you look like a little kid to me!"
We don't have/hire any teenagers here haha so even if I was 22, I still wouldn't be a little girl, Carol!

Minor rant: of course on the day we drive to stay with inlaws for thanksgiving is the first day I see EWCM post-IUD-removal! And of course I left the OPKs at home because I didn’t think I’d need them! Internally debating whether I should be trying to sneak in some sex while we are here or if I should just chill and let us have this month be a NTNP month to learn my cycle. I’m sure I’m being ridiculous since this is literally the first week after IUD removal. I feel like I’m already obsessed with all this tracking stuff and am trying not to freak the hubby out! If I try and get a quickie in while staying with the inlaws he will KNOW something is up! Lol.
*TW announcements* Opened FB app and smacked in the face immediately with back to back announcements. Both rainbow babies and I knew about one... still doesn’t hurt any less.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
A third announcement happened, and they struggled as a SSC with sperm donor. I’m happy for all of them, but I’m sad for myself obviously.
On another note, Melissa Gorga from RHONJ has apparently been going to my clinic (the office I go to about 1/3 of the time) and now she’s all over their ads / it’s part of the show plot.

I actually think it's entirely possible that the FET will be in early March just after our first regional event with the beta test being 10 days later in the middle of our 2nd regional event. What better way to find out you got KU than to find out in the middle of the competition for the program you not only mentor, but also met in when in high school. It's so cheesy but so cute.
