Ok, so I know there is a throat punch Thursday where you vent about anything non-IF related. Well, I'm having a pity party today and there's a few pregos on my Facebook I'd like to jab in the throat! Maybe once I'm in their shoes I'll understand how it feels. BUT I have people on my newsfeed who post NOTHING but statuses about being pregnant! I understand it's an exciting time in their life and they want to share every gas bubble, movement, heartburn, and vomit story with the world BUT I don't want to see it!! I don't post about when my ovaries have reached their peak and it's time to trigger or when my follies are mature and ready to go!! I'm tempted to update the Facebook world about every twinge in my boobs and disgusting side effects all of the hormones inside of me are doing but I don't because it's unnecessary! I do believe it's time to do a little hiding on the Facebook newsfeed until I get past this sensitive time of my 2WW. Does anyone else ever feel this way?! Am I the only one who has pity parties about these things??
