opinion question

Does knowing someone had IF and then became pg change how you feel about it?

For me, it does.  Not sure why, but it does.  My co-teacher just told me she was pg and that she had had a m/c previously and also had some IF issues.  It somehow made it easier to take the news.  Just wondering what you thought or felt about it.

    Yes, absolutely! It's always easier to swallow when I know the person has suffered through IF. 

    I've also found that now that we have a chance of our own and it's coming close (hopefully), I can accept "regular" announcement a little bit easier, too.  It still stings but not nearly as bad as it has.

    Yes...and this is going to sound absolutely horrible typed out, but it is like a piece of me feels they've worked harder for it, so they deserve that BFP more than someone who got lucky without "trying".  Also it gives me hope for myself.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

    Definitely, because you know what it feels like and hope that one day it will be you. I also don't mind when close friends become pregnant as long as they are not in my face about it. The more distant of friends and strangers the harder it gets to accept. Also the # of kids and age of the mom make it harder for me too. Everyone has their quirks of what bothers them and what doesn't.

    Good!  I just feel like they know the struggle and as a pp said, almost worked harder for it.  I also feel that it gived me hope and makes me know I can get there too.
