How to stay strong?

Cinnamonn

Hello everyone! Me and my husband have been trying to conceive for a year and a half now. I just found out that my first IUI failed and I cried all night. There is no one to talk to about it, I don't have parents and all of my girlfriends Have newborns or are pregnant. My best friend just had her baby and all she talks about is her little girl. And all her pregnancy she talked about pregnancy. She never worked Nor he has any interest so I can blame her that's all she talks about. It's very hurtful for me. I started avoiding her but I feel like it's not right. My husband is trying to be supportive but I feel like we don't  share the same emotions. How do you cope with this? How do you MoveOn? I feel so lonely

OP I am so very very sorry for what you are currently going through.  Every person on this board goes through the same thing you are to some degree and it kills us all inside to not get what we want so badly but see everyone around us getting it.  Our saving grace is each other.  I encourage you to read the posts pinned at the top of the board, intro on the newbie post, lurk and please please please join us in the daily threads.  The ladies on here are wonderful and amazing and supportive.  They have become incredible friends to me, helping to hold me up when it feels like I can't do it myself.  

If you do choose to stay around, I would suggest changing your username and it can be difficult to tag.  I believe this can be done on The Knot.

Not going to repeat what PP said, but you can also feel free to check out our weekly IF thread, and even our IF board. You may feel more comfortable there as many of the women may/have gone through IUIs and been in your position.

Welcome, and I'm sorry for what you're going through. I hope your stay here is a short one.

Don't make yourself guilty. Everything can happen and you are not alone. this is great forum and I'm sure you'll find support and cordial words here. I wasn't in such situations. But I can tell your husband supports you. Probably you need to talk about it. He also feels bad and need your support. Everything will be ok. You should have some rest. Maybe go somewhere with your husband. Spend your evening with pleasure and everything will fall into places.
