I have never seen so many baby bumps in one day......Vent

Why oh why did I choose to take DS to the children's museum today ? ? Oh My, I was bumping into baby bellies in every direction....it definitely did NOT help my grumpy mood today. Waiting to ovulate sucks big time....especially when you are not even sure you are going to

PS: On a grumpy side note, If my boss says "Maybe you are pregnant?" one more time........I may just scream in her face.

Anyone else care to vent, feel free

I feel your pain and I just started TTC! My boss ordered shirts for all of us at work and said 'Amanda, should i order you an XL in case you get pregnant soon?' Then another person keeps asking me if I'm pregnant too, UGH! Plus, the pregnant people that come into the office, just hope my turn is soon. I know your day will come soon, everybody's should!

It seem EVERYONE I know is pregnant or they already had a baby... and I'm the oldest one on top of that and 0 children. I think we're re-living the 50's baby boom all over again. I was at one baby shower not that long ago, and someone turned to me and said "your next, just wait, your next!" then everyone else but me got pregnant... =P Best thing for me to do when I start stressing over the whole thing is just to reorganize stuff.... guess it makes me feel more in control. Anywho's hope we all get our sticky babies soon.

I hear you... Seems like every time AF comes I am surrounded by baby bumps. The day AF came this month, my brother called me to tell me his wife is pregnant with their second. I completely feel your pain and it sucks. Hang in there, you are not alone!!

I swear I am the last one in my town to be starting on #2...at least among the SAHMs. It is really annoying at times, but also interesting.

I completely understand. My boss has started doing the whole, "are you guys going to start trying soon?" thing because I have lost quite a bit of weight. I am not interested in saying that out loud to her because then it will always be in the back of her mind that I could be leaving for a few months.

It's amazing how everyone seems to be preggers. It is just amazing.

Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon.

That's really hard, you feel jealous but at the same time feel bad that you have those feelings and want to be happy for them too... ugh it's frustrating! I cried and cried and cried when I found out one of my close friends is pregnant.... it was really tough. Hang in there!

Thank you

You know if I were to sit here and type all of the awful AF day pregnancy announcements or "bumping" into PG women... you'd all wonder how I haven't lost my mind by now! We have been TTC since Feb 2010 and it just hasn't happened for us yet but it seems to have happened for so many people around me. I am so insanely jealous but I am happy for them at the same time. Such an unfair mix of emotions because it makes me feel so selfish. I'm sorry you went through that too. Glad I am on here now because it's nice to have other women who feel like I do to vent to

FroeschleN · January 2011

Yeah, it's nice to have others to be able to talk to about this stuff. Worst part for me when I found out my friend was pregnant was that they weren't even trying, it was an unplanned pregnancy, she was taking her pill and all... and here I am wanting one and nothing. =( I envied her when she told me that there were days where she could feel she was fertile... I want to be fertile!!! Dang it! And she's 4 years younger than me! I love her to death, just wish I was in the same boat as her.

Soon2beMrs.L*07 · January 2011

That's so sad Seriously, HOW do people get PG without trying??? I hate that this situation we're in makes us hate our friends lol My BF got PG with her 1st without trying then when trying for her 2nd... only 2 months! No fair! I love her but I am so jealous.

How do you deal with the comments?? My one friend said to me," Oh you're going to be so skinny this summer and I'm going to look like a whale." I wanted to cry and say thanks for the confidence that I won't get PG and thanks for rubbing it in my face. People just don't think and I get so angry. However, I've been told that I'm just too touchy about it. Do you have PG people compain to you about their pregnancies?

FroeschleN · January 2011

Actually the friend that I'm talking about she has complained how fat she is... I'm like I wish I had your fat! She complains that nothing fits her (oh what a horrible problem to have huh?). I think a baby bump is something beautiful. How can you complain that your fat?! I think people think they're saying something comforting, unknowingly saying the wrong thing. Sucks. Being too touchy huh? Was it a man that said that? You could put it this way: If you knew you could get a free all chromed up fully loaded harley davidson, but had to wait because your number wasn't drawn yet.... but you see all of your friends have one.... and they complain how loud it is.... how would you feel?... that's the only thing that I can think of that somewhat of a good comparison in man terms hahahaha!

Soon2beMrs.L*07 · January 2011

I agree... a baby bump is so beautiful and I can't believe a woman could complain about it. When someone complain about being fat, I come back with, "If you weren't getting a big belly you'd be worried. Embrace it! It's not even "fat", it's a BABY inside you!!!!" grrrrrrrr...

Believe it or not a woman said that. But then I came across this article https://www.resolve.org/support-and-services/for-family--friends/infertility-etiquette.html from someone of the Trouble TTC board and shared it with her. She apologized and now has a better understandig of how I feel. I think more people need to read this. BTW I love your comparison. Men def don't understand and that would help!

FroeschleN · January 2011

Wow! I just finished reading that article... man that's really good! I know I can use some of those pointers too for my cousin, she's been through IVF for 7 years now, she had 2 miscarriages, one I think 4 years into and the other 5 years into. I never know what to say, actually usually I just listen. She's one of the few family members I have not told that hubby and me are TTC. I feel she would probably be heart broken just thinking of the possibility of us having a baby, I know she'd be torturing herself with the thought of us having a baby.

Hoping that we get our sticky babies soon. I'm hoping my first cycle of Clomid is successful... we'll see. Baby dust to you too!

Soon2beMrs.L*07 · January 2011

I have a few friends that have been through fertility treatments and I like to think I abide by the rules of that article. I have had 14 cycles with a BFN and I am heading into the realm of treatment so I hope that people will be a little more sensitive with me too.

Fingers crossed for sticky babies. Baby dust to you too!!
