TTC after 35

Gimme a flucking break!!! (vent, pg..not mine)

I was sitting here at work this morning...and in thru the door comes a crying sobbing young lady (a co-workers daughter) she just found out shes pregnant....she does not want kids, shes throwing a fit that "this" has happened to her. She is barely divorced with an on and off bf whom she doesnt care if he comes around or not....and is already planning her public assistance appts.  She has no idea how far along she is...wtf???

 

This is soooo not what I needed today, well, or anyday for that matter......why is it the ones of us that try so hard...end up in ttc hell....and the rest of the world floats along getting KU and not even knowing it?

Re: Gimme a flucking break!!! (vent, pg..not mine)

  • I hear you on that, I had a young lady at work come to me because she had just found out she was 3 months prego. She hadn't gotten her period but didn't give it a second thought (who thinks its normal to not get your period for 3 months)! Finally went to the Dr and when she saw the ultrasound she figured she had a tumor, the Dr was like umm no your 3 months along.... I had no words for her.. sigh..

  • I just don't understand why some of us can be trying SO hard to see that BFP and others (especially those that don't want it!) just fall a$$ backwards into motherhood.  It's just not right.  :(

  • If I were part of that conversation, I would be seriously attempted to say that we were looking to adopt and give her a card with an adoption attorney's number on it. 

    It's so not fair.

    I was not a participant in this conversation.....just an unwilling bystander.

  • I was in my office looking up therapists with exp. in IF patients when in walks a co-worker with her 3 month old! I almost wept at my desk. This particular person and I talked about two years ago and at that time I had just gotten off BCP and she wasn't thinking about starting for another year. Guess she got KU'd as soon as she started trying. Ugh.

  • My 39 yr old friend had her 2nd child a year ago, after taking a 5 yr break in between from her 1st child (she wasn't sure she even wanted #2 b/c #1 was difficult). She was supposed to be done at 2 kids but last December she got pg by accident with #3!! She wasn't that happy about it.

    It took us a year to conceive our son and I was 38. Must have been some holiday party she went to!! I'd love to get pg by "accident" now and give LO a sibling. This month I didn't even ovulate, so I'm thinking that's not going to happen.

    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
  • I hate having those kinds of experiences.  Three women at my work are about to pop, one of them a year older than me. Another girl at work just had her 4th abortion (yes 4th! you would think birth control and condoms didn't exist) and both my sisters-in-law got their BFP's 2 months after I suggested they read TCOYF...15 years ago.

     (No I'm not bitter.  Why would you think I was bitter?!!!!)

     Keep your chin up!

  • These are all the thoughts that go through my head-- especially after I see the babies in our hospital's NICU suffering from withdrawal while their moms are outside smoking pot and getting their [insert drug of choice here] fix during their "smoking break" outside.

    Makes me throw up a little in my mouth every time. 

    Hang in there-- just know that our children will be so loved and appreciated and never taken for granted, because we know exactly what we had to go through to have them in our lives! (That's the thought that keeps me going and keeps me sending out the good juju to all you ladies here.)

  • Fertility is wasted on the young. My DH is an RN and works at a student health center at a local college. He spends a lot of time doing pregnancy tests and talking about plan b.  I wish I had a time machine to go back to when I was in college, freeze my eggs, and then come back to the present to thaw them out and use them!

  • It's sooo not fair how that happens! I see it all the time and it just makes me wanna cry. When my brother and sister in law decided to have another it child, she told everyone it was so that "they never had any regrets about having more". However, I think the fact the made this decision the same day her oldest got her senior pics was a bit more telling. She stopped her bc and they were pregnant a few months later. She was nice enough to tell my mil that she's was glad that she didn't end up like me. Stuck up b*tch. I swear her nose is so high in the air that it's amazing she doesn't drown when it rains! lol
