Cried for the first time over a BFP announcement at the beach.

Of course it was with my family at the beach after a bottle of wine. My sister got a call and it was her SIL who has been off the pill for 1 month and got a BFP. She was calling complaining about how she could not drink anymore and felt like she was already getting fat. I was so upset and had to leave the room. My sweet DH followed me and we both gripped about it for a bit which made me feel better.
After we went to bed my sister told Dad that she does not think she could ever do fertility treatments because of how sad this makes me. She totally does not get that it is about the 36 months of hope and disappointment followed by more hope and disappointment. I just can't get her to understand! She is on cycle 2 of TTC and I pray she won't ever have to experience this. I just want her to understand what we are going through.
Top this all off with DH commenting on all the cute kids playing with their Dad's over the 4 days we were in Hilton Head. Just made me so sad!

It is very hard to watch others, especially when it seems that they don't appreciate it as much because it appeared to happen so easily for them...
But I believe our mommy joy will be that much sweeter because of the struggle we've had to endure!
Even though this journey is a tough one, it is good to know that we don't have to go it alone...
Stay encouraged!
