Snowed in and down.....

I've been having a bad IF day. Days like this when I can't get out and have nothing really to do are the hardest because I feel like that "missing piece" is even greater. I feel so empty sometimes..and it doesn't make it any easier to see all the stupid Facebook posts and pics of how pp are spending their days cuddling with their babies/kids. When is it going to be my turn! I'm just whiny today and DH doesn't want to hear my complaining...he loves these days of laziness. Anyone else feel the same?
TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with (severely) low sperm count- less than 40 total (last 2 SA showed only 5 and 6 sperm each)
IVF #1: ER 1/23/13- 4 eggs retrieved, 3 eggs fertilized; ET with 1 embryo 1/28/13 2 frosties beta #1 2/5 was 4.8- beta #2 2/7 3.5; BFN
FET #1- transferred one beautiful 4AA embie. Praying this is my take home baby. Beta 5/7/13- BFFN!!!
IVF #2: ER 7/17/13: 6R/3F- transferred 1 blast and 1 10 cell embryo 5dt.   Beta hell.  #1 2.5, #2 2.2- BFFFN! REALLY?
IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!  
****FINALLY PREGNANT WITH DI/DI TWINS!!!!!!!

    Sending hugs. I'm sorry you're having one of those days. You are definitely not alone. We're having the same kind of weekend (not snowed in, but it's too cold to do anything). Getting serious cabin fever, and I feel like I'm constantly thinking/moping about our situation. Almost all of my IF "outlets" involve being outside which doesn't help. :| Currently drinking a homemade margarita & watching Netflix... helping a little bit!

    I have a friend that loves her kids but is really the laziest mother. Every time it snows I ask her if she took our the kids to play-ALWAYS the answer is no. This makes me even more upset that I'm not a mom because I would do these types of things :(. Sometimes I go to her house and take the kids out by myself

    I'm Sorry girl! I completely feel you! it's hard some days.Maybe find some new great TV to suck your brain? or an amazing new book? I have recently become obsessed with GoodReads because it feels slightly competitive but also is a greta universe of books I've never read…so far i've blown through 6 books this month! I use it as healthy escapism…. :)

    I hope tomorrow is better
