    WTF/TMI Wednesday here.  i am pretty convinced i have a UTI, so when my doc called yesterday to confirm my CD21 testing for this morning, i asked if they would be able to run a urine sample as well.  they said they might be able to , depending how busy, fine.  i guess too busy today because it requires me sitting in with a doc so they can order the test.  fine. called my general practitioner, shes out til friday and needs to be the one to order the test.  wound up securing an appointment this afternoon with a new doc a little further from home, but whatever.  the process of them running the sample just seems so unneccessary!!

    @asf0613 I had a similar thing when the RE had us retake the infectious disease tests. I scheduled to do it at the same time as either my baseline US or during the consent signing (which DH is needed for). No one told me that DH had to book his own appointment for it so they weren't prepared to do his blood draw. They legit had to talk to the lab first. It's the one thing I haven't been fond of with our clinic. They also had told him way back before our ER that he could come in at a time that worked better for him to do his portion of the consent signing - no appointment needed. His work is 10 minutes from our clinic but he's really busy with meetings sometimes and can't always miss even a few minutes of work. Well guess who waited a whole hour to be able to go in and sign some damn papers!! He was so mad that he had to wait so long for something that took not even 10 minutes.

    @inthewoods23 ill never understand these things.  seem so simple yet become overcomplicated.

    to boot, i waited in my car for almost half an hour to go inside---the struggle to "hold it in" was real!  but end result i got my antibiotics so all good.

    My WTF Wednesday is my own mood swings. I go from crying to rip your head off to chipper. It's driving me crazy! I did some googling, bc of course, and apparently the "Clomid crazies" are "famous". My OB did NOT mention anything like this weeks after I finished taking them. I'm wondering if I've lost my mind...

    @bbrahmbhatt Perfect gif for what you’re describing. Hope it gets better soon! 

    My WTF Wednesday is that I’m on a serious deadline for work this week, but my work laptop has stopped allowing me access to the system I need to use to complete the work by the deadline!!! So here I am setting up my new personal laptop to try to access things that way, but my personal laptop is taking forever to set up.

    I keep forgetting to mention this WTF 😆

    1. Conceive Plus has a shelf life of only 3 months
    2. The directions say to use a full TEASPOON amount

    My engineer brain did some math and looked it up. The bottle we have is 75mL. After converting 1tsp to mL you would only get 15 uses out of the container if used based on the directions. So like, that makes sense if you're only using it in your FW but....

    How much lubrication does the average person need??? 1tsp is almost 5mL!! I have never used that much in my life!!

    Whhaaaaaaaat??

    @inthewoods23 I used to use conceive plus last year and I'm sorry I never used the full teaspoon either. 5ml seems like alot of lube 😂 I know it says if only has a shelf life of only 3 months but mine lasted way past that. Probably cause I didn't use that much lol
