My favorite fingernail clippers broke this morning. The joint busted apart. I've had this pair for probably 20 years. I've tried buying new ones over the years, but they just aren't made the same anymore. The new ones just don't seem to cut as well. This sucks.
Thank you jawswife. We have been trying for 5 cycles / 6 months. Not entirely long in the grand scheme of things, but I think DH thought it would happen the first or second month.
I am seriously so sick of DH telling me that I am not pregnant yet because I am "doing too much" by temping and tracking. Yesterday, we hung out with our friends and their 4-month-old baby, and they both took his side. One of our friends said she got pregnant the month that they stopped trying, which is fantastic, but mind your own fucking business. It was like 3 vs 1 and I found myself trying to explain to all three of them why I needed to track my cycles. DH has been on this rant ever since they left because obviously one couple's experience completely proves your point.
Ugh, that would make me so mad. Why do people not understand that knowledge is power?! Thankfully, the only friend of ours that I felt comfortable sharing TTC stuff with knows all about temping & OPKs and was super helpful. I'm sorry that Your H & friends weren't supportive.

My DH and friends were saying the same thing. My cycles have been longer the last few months and everyone keeps saying "stop stressing". My husband said I was getting obsessed with temping and tracking, but all I do is check in the morning, and that's it.
TTC has been stressful, but it's not taking over my life right now. Unfortunately not everyone knows about temping/charting and how important it is when TTC.
I totally agree that not everyone knows how important it is when TTC. I also only check everything in the morning and then resume about my day, but I think it is easy for my DH to pinpoint that as the issue since that is more in our control. I know better than to listen to him or anyone else about it, but still so annoying.

Not that it matters how long when people give you unsolicited shitty advice on gku. Does your DH know it can take up to a year for a healthy couple to get pregnant?

@erin2021, what a shitty situation with your company! I'm sorry about what happened to your dad and the potential for even more layoffs. FX for your husband's interview tomorrow!

I am sorry to all you ladies that are having a shitty Monday or had a shitty weekend.
shemarie82 I really hope your tooth isn't infected because that is such a bitch. FX that you get into the dentist asap for some relief. Also I am sorry for your loss.
I have no major bitches yet, but we haven't had our visits with the Higher Learning Commission yet so that might change.
Me: 30 DH: 29; Married: September, 2010 TTC #1: April 2013 Benched: May 2013 Cancer(DH) Off the Bench: September 2014 July 2015 ER low sperm count and motility(radiation side effect). FET September 1,2015. BFP 9/9/15.- 3 on the way.

I have told him numerous times, and I also explained that it is about a 20% chance every cycle. I made him watch The Great Sperm Race last weekend (despite his reluctance haha), which I think really helped him understand the chances a little better. He just thinks that the stress that comes with temping, etc. lowers our chances even more for some reason. Surprising that he thinks this way about it, as he is a very intelligent and educated person and in every other aspect of his life he believes that knowledge is power.
We have FIVE teachers out today. We don't really have subs here, we cover for each other. I'm sick(just a minor cold) and I'm still here. But I have to sub for someone in my plan. She has the flu, though, so I don't mind subbing for her. But if it was one of the dudes out with their wimpy little man colds, I would be quite unhappy. There are so many even the administrators and counselors are subbing today. It's fucking ridiculous.
Still waiting to hear on Saturday's contests and what my new crazy ass schedule is going to be. The yearbook photo for cheer got moved because our district bball play got moved because of the snow. Fuck it all.
Band played well this morning, at least? Ice pellets in the forecast for contest day. Lower 30s. Yaaaayyyy. Fuck the weather.
I just texted my husband that I am finding a realtor cause we are getting the fuck out of our house. I am so sick of living next door to his crazy ass step mom. She has gone off on me in about a bajillion texts over the last 24 hours because I am not talking to her (and for good reason which requires a whole thread of its own). Please ladies, never ever EVER live next door to family. It is an instant recipe for complete disaster.

20 years! Omg.
Yeah, I've had them since I was a teenager. I've lost them a couple of times and had to buy new ones but then I would find them again.

As hard as it is, I just try to ignore everyone and keep doing what I do. It's frustrating when people make assumptions (you're too stressed) and personally it feels like we get blamed for not getting pregnant right off the bat, because of stress.
Just keep charting and temping. Blow it off, as much as you can.

I agree with this. I feel better when remember to temp. nicknack I hope your husband comes around soon.

I love my in laws but never would I want to be neighbors with them. And why do people think that if they flip out on you through text that is going to make you want to speak with them? Fuck her. I hope you can find a great home and get moving soon!

When we were looking for a house FIL kept pointing out houses on their street that were coming up for sale. One of them was right across the street. They were actually nice houses and the town they live in is great, but hell no. We ended up moving 30 minutes away from them. Which of course comes with it's own set of issues, but at least they are not crossing the street every day to knock on our door.

My in-laws are about 15 minutes away and my parents are a half hour. It works for me except for when my parents always want to see DS but never want to come to us.

I live less than a mile from my in-laws. I live about two miles from my parents. This is a small area though... you're not very far from anyone.
My dad was my boss at my company but no one knew he was my dad. Well Friday they laid him off saying they "couldn't afford him". I feel horrible for him because my parents just renovated their kitchen, put in new hardwood floors and just booked a vacation in May to New Orleans. Now he is telling me to prepare to lose my job because they company is tanking... I have two kids to feed and an unemployed husband. FUCK!
I really hope things can turn around soon for you and your family soon. It's such a shitty, nerve-racking thing.
My bitch is the shitty restaurant that I ate at last night. I got food poisoning for the 2ND TIME!!! I'm all for giving places a second chance, but rotten food twice...come on. I spent all night throwing up and getting that terrible food out of my system, and didn't sleep hardly at all.

My boss had the other accountant and I go look at new chairs the other day to pick a few ideas for our new office.
The came in today (we are moving in the summer). I don't know what the fuck he ordered, but I am not sitting on that pile of shit. It's exactly what I have with a lower back.

My bitch is just at life. Everything has been piling up lately, with my car getting wrecked, to being referred to an RE but having to wait 2 months to get in, to insensitive friends sending me pee stick pictures. Last night my Grandma died. My bitch is that flights are super expensive, but we can't drive our rental car the 1,000 miles to get to my Grandma. I'm trying to convince my siblings to ride with us so we can use their car.
Not only do I want to be there for my dad, but I feel like I need to show MH my hometown. My Grandma lived in a house on a farm all her life. My dad and his siblings were all born in that house, and I just feel like I need to see that house and farm one more time before it's sold or demolished. That house is a huge part of my childhood. It's me being sentimental, but it's important to me. My dad was born into poverty and fought his way out, and it breaks my heart that my kids will never know my Grandma or see where my dad came from.

I would be not speaking to those "friends" for some time and it's time for Come to mother fucking Jesus talk about your husband. He doesn't get to control your uterus just because you are married.
Fuck him for recruiting people to berate you over a decision you made about your own body.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma and that everything in your life is compounding. *hugs* I know sometimes airlines discount tickets for people flying out for a funeral. You may want to call and ask them.

There is nothing wrong with this.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you can convince your siblings to carpool.
I asked my obgyn about my short LPs (all under 10 days for 5 cycles in a row), and she scheduled a progesterone test for me at 7 DPO. The office just called to give me the results, "which are that your progesterone levels are consistent with ovulation." WTAF? I know I fucking ovulated, so please don't tell me that was the point of this exercise. I asked the nurse for clarification and reminded her why the test was ordered, and they are supposed to get back to me to discuss.

NO.
I know it's ridiculous, but that fucking chair has ruined my day. It is awful.
Add me to the "dry, scratchy throat" club. It started like Wednesday, but didn't get really bad until Friday night, which is when sleep went out the window in favor of coughing all night. So I'm tired, Smudge has been SUPER whiney and anti-mommy all weekend, and I just want to take a nap.
Also, I desperately need to clean my crappy little apartment, but I have no energy to do so. Edited because apparently I'm too tired to type properly
