Infertility

does your birthday depress you?

My birthday is the 27th and I am not happy about it this year. All I can think about is how I really thought I'd be pregnant for this birthday and about H's surgery, which is the 26th...great timing, huh?

It's my Golden birthday too and I just can't seem to care about it. Stupid IF.

TTC since April 2008

Me: PCOS/Amenorrhea DH: Azoospermia due to Y Chromosome Micro Deletion IVF w/ ICSI on hold until further notice

Hope

  • My birthday is the 27th too!!!!

    But I am way older than you. I love my birthday. It stings a little this year because I thought for sure I would be KU by now...  I started with clomid last year in January...

    But IF is no reason not to eat lots of cake... and have everyone I know wish me well and sing into my voicemail.

    My birthday is my 2nd  favorite holiday.. halloween is always #1.

    3 yrs ttc, 3ivfs, 4 iuis and finally a baby boy! And then a girl to follow. 2 under 2!
  • yep, pretty depressing for me... I just turned 33 so it was super depressing since I started trying to get PG when I was 31...for sure thought by my 33rd bday, i would have a little munchkin!

  • I'm a lot older than you, too.....I used to get depressed about my birthday, until I realized how futile that was. Every October I tell myself "Well, you're having this birthday whether you like it or not; might as well just enjoy it'.

    I know that sounds easier said than done, but it truly works for me!

     I'm sorry :(  I remember during my birthday last year I kept thinking "it's okay, I'll have a baby by my next birthday."  Now my birthday is 3 months away and that's obviously not going to happen!

    I'm not looking to get flamed here but whether you're 27 or 37 IF is still IF and it sucks for everyone.  It is not comforting to be told you have all the time in the world and I feel your pain.

  • I am turning 30 on the 2nd and I am not overly excited about it!  I thought I would be so much further in life than where I am now.  I really want to have a baby, but I am ust enjoying my time with DH until we are lucky enough to get pregnant!
  • i'm with jhleap...halloween is number one and as much as i hate turning older...i love having cake and being special for the day lol. i also hate when people tlel me 27 is young and we have all the time in the world. we started trying when i was 23 and DH was 22...it still stings almost 5 years later to be babyless. :(

  • I hear that one!!  My 31st bday is on Monday!  I haven't been in the mood to  celebrate much, at all!
