One of those days

Jen071407

Today is 11dpo. Tested, bfn. I know it's early still, and I don't know why I choose to set myself up for negatives, but still just stinks. Spent the afternoon at a best friend from high school's baby shower. I totally had myself psyched up for it...until 2 of her college friends walked in uber pregnant. Of course fielded a couple "when are you having another?" questions. I know we all get those questions, and I know the askers mean well, but meh. Wish I had a note card to hand out with bullets explaining our situation. And now spending the evening with my 34 week pregnant sister...who was uncertain about wanting a baby and tried once. Literally. One. Time. And poof, baby. I know I should stop feeling sorry for myself, and I'm very lucky to have two beautiful daughters, but like I said, just one of those days. Thanks for letting me vent, fairly certain you all are the only people who really understand!

I'm sorry today was so rough Jen. U got ambushed by bouncing baby bumps. There are 4 very pregnant ladies in my office and I've been there. Some days it's just harder than others to get through.
I sometimes feel ungrateful for my sons and their pregnancies because I want another baby so badly. But we have to remember that just because we want another baby doesn't mean we don't love/appreciate the babies we already have.
I hope that u feel better about things.

I hear ya loud and clear!! I was at a friend's tonight who is pg with #3. We have been trying for #3 for 15 months, and my RE told me it may never happen. On the way home, I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs as loud as I could.

I don't know why I torture myself with the early testing but I do this too. You're not alone! So sorry for the rough day. I totally get it. I think sometimes when we spend the day doing things fr everyone else, the least we deserve is a good pity party!

I know I will be in your shoes in a few days with the babies and the bumps etc. My good friend is newly married to a woman who just turned 42. She is due any day with her 4th (his 1st) She conceived the first month they tried. At 42. Without help. Without meds. Nothing. I'm so, so happy for them, but so insanely jealous at the same time. Its just a hard thing...

I'm sorry you had a bad day! Like all the pp's have said, I think we all have those days.  Unfortunately, it just seems like those are the days when we are bombarded by all of the pg ladies and new pg announcements which of course only make us feel worse. I had one myself this week after 4 friends announced they were expecting withing a 2 day period. Hope things turn around and you have a better week!

I am sorry you feel this way. I can def. relate. I have 2 kids and I am so thankful for them and it took 2 years to conceive #2 and now that we want #3 of course not as easy as others around us. Some days I tell myself to just come to terms with 2 and not more, but it is just not fair that for some it is easier and they can have as many kids as they want.
