TTC after 35

An auntie again....

Everything aboout IF seems so cruel and deliberate ...Today we start the first inj's for our "take two" of our IVF and as I walk in the door with my 2 grand in meds I get the text that I am a fourth time aunt.....happy for them yes, but it is hard.

I guess looking on the bright-side...(Im trying) I was glad to get a donation of a 900unit gonal F pen...thanks, and I m glad that for the first four scheduled u/s I have no work conflicts......

Re: An auntie again....

  • Lots of hugs, I totally know what you're feeling.  I just became an aunt again last week (my 3rd nephew; first on my side of the family).  I went to my parents last night and my brother and his SO brought the new baby over.  The joy on my parents' face was very bittersweet for me.

    Good luck on your IVF take two (and great that you got a gonal F donation, those suckers are expensive!).  Keep your eye on the prize and hang in there.

  • even though i have a child i understand what you mean, everyone in my family has babies like it's as easy as blinking! i have 9 nieces and nephews, one just came July 4th and i have a set of twins on the way. plus all my freinds around me popping out babies and cousins and such let's not forget my co-workers, i feel like i am always shopping for a baby shower.

    i am always questioned as to when i will have another, alot of pushy people in the family that are aware of my age and let me know that the clock is ticking.

  • It does suck ... it seems like every time you turn a corner there is a preggo person or a commercial or a tv show or magazine add .. its annoying! :)
  • IF continually reminds me that being really, genuinely happy for someone else doesn't mean that I can't still be really, really sad for myself.  ((hugs))
