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?

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.
That would be my thought exactly!
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
I probably would as well.
I was not a participant in this conversation.....just an unwilling bystander.
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.
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.)

lol...have never thought about this...but sooooo true!
