I never knew Halloween would be hard for me. Last Halloween I had my first failed clomid TI cycle. I handled it well because I was still so hopeful.
Today was so hard because we are now on a break. I am laid off, and I am doing Lupron for 3 months for Endo.I am just waiting to get job so I can start IVF. Wow, has a lot changed in a year!
We had over 250 kids. My parents were here and I felt so bad for them not having grandchildren of their own to see. I hate IF so much!!
I am thinking about all of you girls today who are going through this with me. It is not fair!!
Re: Didn't think I hated all holidays
Yeah, kinda with you there. I didn't think halloween would make me feel sad, but it does.
I guess all the little ones in their little costumes looking all cute.
I'll admit it.
I'm jealous.
it certainly is so normal to be jealous. after all, it seems that all the holidays are child-centered.
we have so few trick or treaters. my neighbors across the street are practically the only neighbors that come trick or treating the past few years and i even feel apart after they left. i didn't even answer the door (my dh did) as i had a cold, but i did peak outside the window as they left. what a cute family!
we are friendly and say 'HI." but not close at all. i just can't see myself being friends, as we've been waiting so long to have kids and they already have two. i'm such an outcast and i hate it. it's just too hard for me to be around children all the time when i've been waiting forever to have my own! IF sucks!...
This. I hate that jealous feeling, but it's there.
this is one of the hardest parts of holidays for me.
::hugs:: to you tonight!
