It doesn't seem to go away ;(

This IF feeling, it will never go away, it has set something in my heart and my self! I'm pregnant 10W and called to an ob/gyn, and tried to make an appointment I mention I am pregnant, I had to explain that I was released this monday from my RE! I wanted to cry and barely continue the conversation, this feeling will never go away! Just sad when I should be happier!

It's a feeling that sticks with you. It's hard to shake.

I'm 34w PG this week and there was a PG announcement at work and while I didn't feel as emotionally destroyed by it as I would have before, it was still hard, though I'm literally weeks away from having my own.

Vent it out and put names onto what you're feeling and that will go a long way to helping. Seeing a therapist who deals with IF is also very helpful if you feel like it's crippling you in some way.

I totally know how you feel. I just started seeing a therapist who specialized in IF today. I am more petrified something is going to happen 24/7. Its so life altering

maybe give it some time.  i was a little awkward in the beginning with the phone call appointments (i.e. asking when my last period was).  i just reported in a monotone voice - "i did IVF, my EDD is ____").  there's no shame in IF.  try to stay as positive as you can

I've been posting over on my birth month board and I still get really angry when someone intros with "We're so surprised..." or "We didn't plan on having another until next year..." I find myself screaming, "It's called birth control, you dimwit!" 

Sometimes I feel like a bad person. Sometimes.

I am also a bad person too then.  I always feel safer on the IF boards!
