I think we need a Vent day

Maybe a daily vent post? My vent for today is I really need to stop analyzing pg symptoms. I tell myself every month that Im not gonna do that. I tell myself to assume AF is coming and maybe one day I'll be pleasantly surprised. I swear Im gonna drink all the caffeine I want during my 2 WW since most likely Im not pg. But No. I still hold out hope. This is the only place I feel sane. I like all of you obsess about conceiving. It consumes me. Im also jealous that my sister got married this weekend. Im jealous because she told me they aren't using any form of birth control so Im sure she'll be pregnant soon. Im ranting tonight cause AF came and it came 2 days early!

Maybe coming 2 days early was a gift!  You didn't have to wait as long as normal for the let down AND you get to get started on next month's cycle even sooner! Eh..that was my attempt at positive thinking.  I'm all for the vent posts though!

Days like that are the worst. Lots of hugs to you. Here is mine. I can't even describe all the emotions like I really want to. I'm Bumping from my phone. How can I make it clicky?

IMHO, Every Day is Vent Day! 

Here's to your next 2WW leading to that pleasant surprise!

I'm definitely with you on the pregnancy symptoms.

Another one...the "supporters" that know someone that has dealt with IF and they did the BD on a break cycle while hanging upside down from a stripper pole and she got pregnant.  Or my cousin's best friend's wife did IVF and she got pregnant with only one fertilized egg.  GREAT!

Here's my vent:  We finally get up to the family deductible so maybe 2 ultrasounds and blood draws were wicked cheap, and then did the IUI which is out of pocket (no coverage for tx, just dx), and so now that we did that, everything falls under the dx of infertility and nothing will be covered again.

Seriously.

I'm coming back to add my vent - people who know of your IF struggles start to treat you like a pariah when it comes to baby stuff. Your IRL IF buddy decideds not to tell you she's PG until she's 4 months along, never talks about her pregnancy. Mom doesn't tell you when other family members are pregnant. Friends decide not to mention when they are attending baby showers. And never, never have you ever given anyone reason to treat you this way - you've never been anything but excited and supportive of other women's pregnancies. But, nonetheless, all of a sudden people treat you like you're going to be the next subject of a Lifetime movie. Ugh.
