~3T Check In!~ BEWARE: Bitter Infertiles Inside!
If you have any changes to this list, wish to be removed, added, or have graduated (yay!), please shoot me a PM.
FYI: We don't want to exclude some ladies, but this is a check in for ladies who are unfortunately having trouble trying to conceive (TTTC=3T). If you've been trying for more than a year and/or have been diagnosed with any form of infertility OR are now pursuing adoption or have decided to remain childless following a 3T journey, you are welcome to join us.
Updates: Ok ladies... where are we at this week? Testing, Procedures, Appointments, Adoption updates, Life updates? What’s going on, etc. Let's hear all about it!
QOTW: How do you and DH handle conflict? Do you yell? Calmly talk it out? Silent treatment? All of the above?

QOTW: I am a pouter. I get really quiet and refuse to talk. Jimothy wants to talk calmly right away. We've actually been working on this in our therapy sessions. I am my mother. Who gives silent treatment and then everything is fine. I operate in the same way. Sometimes if I let it all pile up, I'll eventually end up yelling about something not related to the real issue. Once I've had my fit, then I can calmly come back and talk about what really is bothering me.

Update: none
QOTW: we are somewhere between calmly talking and yelling. I start cleaning when I'm angry, and he gets quiet and reflective. Then we have it out, but it's always respectful.
Update: TWW sucks butt hole. Luckily we are on vacation now so maybe I won't think about it much.
Qotw: DH usually gets a temper and fast and I am much more level headed. I let him do his rant and then I once he takes a breathe I rationalize whatever it is we are arguing over. If we strongly disagree on something I won't discuss it all at once, I will step away and then go back to the discussion later on.

DH was not ready for IUI so we waited

QOTW: How do you and DH handle conflict? Do you yell? Calmly talk it out? Silent treatment? All of the above? So we usually just don't talk for a bit. We have only had one yelling fight, and that was years ago. It was awful and we swore to never do it again.
"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
@Sewilson33 Good luck! I hope you get your positive this weekend.
Update: see other post
QOTW: DH is very calm and I get quiet. I have a much shorter fuse though and will lash out at him when I am frustrated. I'm trying to get better at this. Once I have my "moment" then I'm fine again. I just usually need a little space and then am good to talk about it.

Sewilson- fingers crossed for you!
Aimothy- looks like you and I may be going through the FET cycle around the same time.
QOTD- I want to talk things to death and Mr wants to think about things, talk about it once and move on. We don't yell usually.

Getting fit for IVF!
yea....im a stress bucket i just need for this work crap to be fixed
Getting fit for IVF!
Thanks. I swear I'm going to punch the next pregnant woman who tells me she's jealous of my trip. That's freaking rich. I'm jealous of your pregnancy. Guess which matters more in the long run?
Or the one who tells me that she "just feels awful" about being pregnant when I'm not. I'd love to feel guilty for being pregnant. Said neighbor did both. *rage*
