Why am I obliged to give the knee jerk 'I'm happy for them' reaction when someone announces their pregnancy. Truthfully I'm not sincerely happy for them but hurt by another reminder of being on the outside looking in.
TTC since 3-08
IVF # 1 Dec 2011 BFP
DD born at 31 weeks 6-24-12
DDF,
Why am I obliged to give the knee jerk 'I'm happy for them' reaction when someone announces their pregnancy. Truthfully I'm not sincerely happy for them but hurt by another reminder of being on the outside looking in.
I'm so right there with you. I know logically that it isn't a zero-sum game, and that they're not somehow getting pregnant instead of me, when it's my turn, but in most cases it's reallllly hard to be anything other than jealous and sad. And ready to go drink all the wine.

DDF,

I know what you mean, and I hate that I feel that way. I want to be happy for people, but I know that will never happen unless I manage to get pregnant again. I dread having my friends tell me they are TTC again.

Thanks to having pneumonia this week my planned trying to conceive session has been cancelled. So much for that miracle Christmas baby I was going to conceive. Now I lose this month and next month for my hysteroscopy. I hate wasting time. And now DH has his man cold and is driving me insane.

DD why did can't I practice self control with margaritas? I am now hung over on the day we are having 30+ kids and 20+ adults for a neighborhood hanukkah party. Should I just start drinking now?
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele

Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
DD, why is it that I make it through November and December mostly healthy, and then as soon as I get home from work for 2 weeks worth of break (one of the only perks of working in a year-round position in a school) I immediately feel like I'm going to vomit? And I was lucky I woke up when I did this morning or I would have explosively pooped the bed. Give me a cold any day. This gastro-intestinal junk is annoying.
I am counting the number of days I am sick over break and taking that many sick days when we go back to work in January. Eff this.

I am so sick and tired of feeling depressed and blah. I know a lot of this is because the holidays always irritated me, but feeling like we're now "stuck" in our TTC is really making feel like shit. I've had to take months off between IVFs before, but I knew we had a plan in the future.. I'm having a hard time being in this stand still now. Andplusalso everyone is pregnant, and anyone who isn't pregnant is remarking to me about how EVERYONE IS PREGNANT, so I feel like I'm getting hit coming and going lately. Yes, GDit I know everyone on the whole GD planet is more fertile than me, Mother Nature, that is fucking ENOUGH with the non stop reminders. I just want to crawl into a hole. I want to use this time bonding with my little girl, but it's hard to do that when I feel depressed all the time. I just have no energy for anything, and want to lay on the couch eating junk food all day long- I know a lot of this is PMS related also, so I am hoping and praying I just get my fucking period and feel reasonably human again. It's making feel even worse because I feel like I should snap the fuck out of this for my kid so she can enjoy these few days leading up to Xmas, but it's easier said than done, and I just keep making myself feel guilty for feeling shitty, etc, etc, hamster wheel of life.
BYE WINTER.
