like the plague. I went to the last one and I actually had a blast (and I wasn't expecting it at all). But I just can't bring myself to go and find out who is pregnant or who has babies. I just can't do it. And I'm also avoiding a family birthday party this weekend because of a pregnant cousin. I hate that everybody just thinks I'm being a b-tch. Someday hopefully they'll understand why I've been this way.
TTC with unexplained IF since 8/2007
6 losses, one beautiful perfect boy in our arms

Re: I'm avoiding my HS reunion
Oh, I'm so sorry you have the flu and just can't make it to any functions this weekend
Go do something nice for yourself this weekend instead!
Haha- I laughed out loud. Stupid flu!
I hated my HS reunion. Ugh. All the baby talk and all the people still acting like it was high school. Never again.
You are not a_bitch. Don't worry what others may think. Just take care of yourself.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

Mine is this weekend.. and I might not go either
I hear you! Last spring was my 10 year college reunion, and just the thought of going made me want to puke. I love all of my college friends but I just couldn't stand all of the questions about having kids.
Blech.
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Mine was a couple weeks ago. Since I was in my home town I decided to have dinner with my mom before meeting up with my classmates.
I was in the middle of this IVF cycle and during dinner my mom kept telling me all about people she knew who had successful domestic adoptions. Thanks mom, but not what I want to talk about right now. Then right as she is dropping me off at my car (and right before I'm supposed to walk into my reunion) she casually tells me my younger cousin is pregnant. Geez, thanks mom.
I had mentally prepared myself for all the PG classmates and kid talk, but after my mom dropped those bombs on me, I couldn't go. I cried the whole way home.
Since I was so emotional anyways, I definitely should not have even tried to go. So I think it is totally understandable that you skip.
