Holidays coming up...

Does anyone else wish they could sleep through all the holiday gatherings? Normally I'm so happy that the holidays are getting close, meet with family, friends, eat great food, visit, get all warm and mushy inside. But I'm starting to wish it were still a year away! My side of the family has 1 baby, my niece who I am crazy about. My husbands family has a ton of kids and his cousin just found out they were expecting, only days after we found out cycle #2 was a failure. Does anyone have any advice to kick these blues? Husband doesn't let all this get to him and thinks I should be able to let it roll off and enjoy myself. I just can't get happy!

I'm in my holiday season right now and, honestly, have no advice because I'm really struggling - more this year than the 3 years prior.....

I've decided that if this fet doesnt work on the 13th i'm not celebrating the holidays. I don't care what the family thinks or has to say about it, I have struggled 3 holiday seasons and I just don't have it in me this year. I know this doesn't help at all, but I know how hard they can be. I'm sorry your going throught this. ((hugs))

I'm definitely worried about it. Like mrsryan said, if our FET doesn't work at the end of October, it's going to be really hard to be around lots of kids at Christmas. We're just going to play it by ear and see how we feel.

The only advice I can think of is to find ways to distract yourself and keep yourself busy - like help out in the kitchen a lot or offer to go run errands for relatives instead of hanging out with the kids. Or if you're not in a treatment cycle, you can just drink! good luck...

Hey that's a thought! I'll be sure to stock up on some good cheap booze. Maybe Santa will bring me a good buzz if he can't bring me a child. I hope all of yall have a good holidays as well and thanks for the advice.

It's going to be a tough year for me this year.  In my family (the side I'm closest with), I'm the oldest by 3 years.  My cousin just had a baby - the first out of all of us cousins.  Of course, I'm thrilled for her.  But it's going to be hard because Thanksgiving will be the first time we meet the baby.  She lives in VA and we all live in MA.  Thanksgiving is going to be the first time she travels with the baby.

I am definitely not looking forward to the holidays.  I would have been about 34 weeks along by Christmas but I had a m/c in July. I would love to be able to announce I'm pg for Thanksgiving or Christmas but I'm not getting my hopes up.  The only baby we have in our family is my unmarried 21 year old male cousin's baby.  I don't even know where the baby will be for the holidays.  The baby was born in March and I haven't seen the baby yet. We live out-of-state.  It kills me that he can knock up his lazy, trashy, unemployed 20 year old gf but my DH and I are having so much trouble getting pg and staying pg.  Ugh.
