So today I am just having one of those hard IF days. Temp dropped again so AF should be here in the next few days which means IUI 2 failed. Then at work one of my pregnant coworker asked me the dreaded question "when are you going to have kids?" It's moments like this when I wish I was snarky enough to just say "I'm actually dealing with infertility and had another treatment fail so thanks for asking!" And on top of that I have a birthday looming which just somehow makes me think even more about the baby I thought I would have by now... Just one of those days you know? What do you do when you have a bad IF day?

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. I had a couple of really dark days last week, and I'm feeling better now. I hope you can feel more on the positive side soon.
I just had a three day stretch of bad IF days last week. It was awful. I drank lots of margaritas and ate lots of Godiva chocolate. Helped a little bit!

Ugh, hate those hard days. Usually I deal by either bawling my eyes out or taking my frustrations out on a punching bag we have in the basement.
And of course it had to be the pregnant co-worker that asked you the dreaded question.
This^ HAHAHA!
I'm sorry you're having a bad IF day *hugs.*
When I have a bad IF day, I normally have a good cry and then watch a funny movie and eat ice cream, drink wine and cuddle with my DH and dogs.
