Impatiently waiting to start TTC again... (vent)

brideofscowboy · August 2010

Do you ever feel like everyone you know is pregnant? This is my life lately and although I'm happy for my friends, I can't help but be jealous.

It honestly feels like everyone got together agreed on a few selected months (even though it's completely impossible) and decided to start TTC ...

....even the weather girl is pregnant again.

le sigh.

I feel the same way!

lwrigley2000 · August 2010

Yep.

davis0905 · August 2010

Yes, every woman around me seems to be pregnant! But I'm not jealous. DH and I are one and done ....at least for now.

There is a slight chance that we could change our minds in a couple of years.

lol about the weather girl.

*Caress* · August 2010

Yes, but I'm not jealous.....I have 3 kiddos so maybe that's why? I hope you get a BFP as soon as you start TTC. Hang in there..

Tell me about it! When I lost the twins there seemed to be be more of "them" around. Ugghhh

Praying for a BFP this month.

LOL on the weather chick. Our weather chick looks like she is going to pop! Everytime she turns sideways my DH says"WHOOOAAA!"

I just laugh

Well, look at it this way... at least you get to ttc eventually. I don't. Going into full eclampsia and developing a heart condition makes it so that it's more likely I would get that way again. So, we're done with one... but not because that's what I want, but because the doctors think it's too big a risk. So be happy you get to try again. I know it sucks waiting, but when you get pregnant again, all of your frustrations you're having now will disappear.

Yep. My younger cousin is pregnant right now and I definitely felt jealousy when I saw her this past weekend.

We're TTC now, so I'm hoping for a BFP soon!

I know how you feel. I've had two late losses and preemie all because of placental abruptions. It's likely that if I get pregnant again, it'll happen again. There's a slight chance that I may have some tests ran with a high risk doctor and there might be hope that we can ttc, but chances are it's probably not likely. I've had a doctor tell me that I can have my tubes tied now if I want. It sucks doesn't it?

we said eff it, lets start now, since it took us a year to get a sticky baby the first time. I also cannot wait to see another beautiful/handsome dark haired blue eyed babe froom you BOC...love me some Reid

I know. I have the itch too, but there is no way we could handle a third right now. What helped me a little was losing some weight, so I could tell myself that if I don't get pregnant I can wear my cute clothes again soon.

Yeah, fortunately, we've never had to experience losing a child. But it totally sucks that my one and only experience happened the way it did. There are so many things that I don't get to experience that many people take for granted. I wish I could have felt a contraction... seems silly, but I look at it as this is what my body was designed for, and my body got a big fat fail.

However, I have an amazing little girl, so if I only got to have one, I've got the best I could ever dream of getting.

caitlyn_alexis · August 2010

I know exactly how you feel. We decided months ago that we would ttc in August. It felt like August would never get here. Not to mention it seems like everyone we know is pregnant. It is so hard to wait when everytime you turn around someone else is announcing they are pregnant. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I join that crowd soon! GL to you, we already know that you make the cutest babies!!

peachypear · August 2010

I hear you. Especially about the weather girl, lol.

We?re waiting until DH?s work picks up. He?s furloughed so much that he?s really only working about 10 hours a month. Ouch. We had planned on being pregnant by now? The new year is our ?deadline,? but I feel like we just keep pushing it back, so we?ll inevitably push it back to spring.

Le sigh.

Yeah, I didn't like my birth experience either. I had a placental abruption which turned into pre-eclampsia, so I got to spend the 4 days on bedrest in the hospital before he was born on Magnesium and steroid shots. It was horrible, and I don't remember much when I gave birth to him. I too wish that things would have turned out differently. My ideal would be to carry all the way to term, and then deliver and take the baby home two days later. It's never happened that way for me, so it probably never will. I can dream though...

I hear you on your little girl. I have an amazing boy, and he is a wish come true for us.
