Infertility

am I the only one

am I the only one who during thier IF journey, looks at baby stuff and looks at nursuery decor and such. I even have a secret baby names list. As I gear up for IVF # 3 as I start stims tomorrowm, I find myself more intrigued with baby items now more than ever.

Re: am I the only one

  • I do the same thing.  Even have a list of names that I've been keeping for the past few months. But then I have to give myself a reality check and remember to focus on today.  I really don't want to put the cart before the horse, kwim?

  • I used to over the last 10 years but now at age 44 I feel like it might not happen so I don't anymore. Too depressing. I use to save Pottery Barn baby magazines and would LOVE to walk around baby store where the cribs and bedding were and pretend what I would buy if PG. Oh and looking at baby clothes were the best! I did have a baby name list but can't figure what I did to it :) Maybe one day.

    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)

  • You are so not the only one! Ive been looking at baby things for 5 years, terrified we would never be parents. I must love torturing myself.  Even went in Babies R Us and picked out the furniture I wanted.

  • I have bought way more baby things than I care to admit... what's worse is I love the stuff and have trouble parting with it for baby gifts. I'm wondering at some point if I will have to ebay it and use the proceeds for something nice.
