sorry if this was already discussed, but i am finally catching up on my DVRed shows :)  Last night I finally watched The Office episode of the company picnic.  i think that episode aired 2 weeks ago.  Anyway, I started crying uncontrollably when Pam finds out she is pregnant.  It was such a poignant moment because I thought to myself how I will never get to feel like that because I am infertile and will never get a surprise BFP.  And even if I did, the pregnancy would always be full of anxiety because of my miscarriage experience.  it just made me sad for myself, even though i was happy for the characters on the show.  it's pretty much the same way i feel every time a fertile friend announces their pregnancy!  i am done feeling sorry for myself now, but i was wondering if anyone else had the same reaction to that part of the episode?

    Yes. I felt exactly like that! It's heartbreaking to think, "That will never happen for me." Real life or just a tv show, it sucks :(

    I didn't cry.  I knew what was going tro happen as soon as someone told her to get an xray.

    Nope.  Didn't cry.  I was p!ssed,  But I do feel your pain.  I posted about the fact I'll never have a surprise BFP last week ... and I was not alone.  It's a bitter pill to swallow.  Sigh.

     Otherwise, it was a great episode.

    I thought of it that way at first but then I realized that I DID have a surprise BFP in a way. We did IVF and there were no guarantees it was going to work. I spent every day of the 2ww dreading a negative pregnancy test. There is no way to know for sure that you are pregnant, and the day you get your beta phone call or +HPT is a surprise! What could be more surprising than being told you are infertile and then getting that BFP? I am trying to be more zen like about this whole IF thing these days and this thought made me happier. Plus, IVF or not, we were crying anf hugging eachother a la Jim and Pam when we found out.

    Watching surprise BFPs on TV and in movies doesn't bother me.  BUT, surprise BFPs of INFERTILE women in TV and movies sure does.  It reinforces the crappy "if you would just relax/adopt/stop trying so hard you would get pregnant like Charlotte on Sex And The City" comments.

    I love The Office.  And I love that Jim and Pam steal each season's final episode with something new in their relationship.
