TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Bitter much?

I can't be happy for any of the bfp's that have only been ttcal for a few months.  I've turned into a bitter hag.

Re: Bitter much?

  • I was going to post this same thing today.  I suck.  I also have feelings of jealous vomit when I say congrats about BFPs IRL too.

  • I've all but convinced myself I'll be the last one on this board, posting replies to myself. 

    Yep, I'm in pity party mode.

  • Every one of them deserves a BFP.. but I agree. I'm insanely jealous/bitter.

    Especially since it was my 2 yr BFP anniversary yesterday. Lame-o.

    I know & that's why I'm mad at myself.  I just think, must be nice....

  • I think we can all relate to that feeling.
  • I was at my dd's dance studio yesterday morning and there was this woman who was hugely pregnant and everyone was gushing and I felt good for her too because ya never know what her story is...............that was until she started going on and on about how it wasn't planned  (ok that is fine too) and then she very bluntly said this is "clearly a mistake" because her other child is 11 months old.....after that little conversation I couldn't look at her without feeling a LOT of disgust...........clearly she doesn't know what it's like to want what she has........unplanned or not a baby should never be referred to as a "mistake".....this was my bitter moment of the weekend.

    Wow, that's awful.  She has no idea.  And I wouldn't even think of calling you bitter for that.  I'd call your reaction spot on!

    This is so sad.  Sad that people like her have babies & sad that she doesn't get it.  Our ds was a total suprise, but I would never, ever call him a mistake.  What an asshat!

    No kidding.............I wanted to smack her off top of her head........I could feel my temprature rising and was so glad I could quickly finish up and get out of there.......I certainly hope her attitude changes....
  • I know what you mean. There's  a BFP over on another board. She had been suspecting she was pregnant. Her post was a simple "BFP!". I wanted to say "of course it is".

    Ughhh..

  • I have avoided posting over here until today.  While I've only (only??) been here for 4 months - I feel the *exact* same way.  I didn't want to voice my opinion on the regular board.  But as I type my congratulations my heart just is not in it today.  All it does is make me more sad.

  • Exactly.  I think my stupid SIL has kicked my bitterness into high gear.

  • I was reading all the BFP's and thinking man why can't that be me.  

    Glad I'm not the only bitter one! 

  • Which is why I pretty much only hang out/post/lurk over here. Thank God for this board.
  • My bitterness is reaching new levels.  I was at my little cousin's high school graduation party on Saturday.  My cousin and his fiance were there with their *gorgeous* 7 month old daughter.  First, I got a vag punch because a guest assumed she was mine and asked me her name (I was sitting next to my mom who was holding her).  Then the baby's parents informed us that they will start ttc when the baby is a year.  The punctuation to that was when the mom said, "Well we didn't even have to try for this one, so it might not take long." My initial reaction is that of course they'll have another before we have our first.  Ugh.

     

  • I am with you. We have so many friends getting married this summer and all I can think of is they will probably have babies before I do.
