rough day

in Infertility

So I got the call w/ the results for my b/w this morning and it showed my progesterone to be 25 but my prolactin is slightly elevated - they aren't concerned b/c it's not very high at all, but I will be on a medication for that next cycle.  So why am I having such a rough day?  Well, it's probably mostly the hormones all over the place, but my SIL is having her u/s today (she's due one day before our angel baby was due).  I also realized that I really was hopeful for this cycle b/c my nipples hurt really bad, but I learned that's probably from my elevated prolactin.  And to top it off, my co-worker is pregnant!  She told my friend at work and said she doesn't want to tell me....I'm really happy for her b/c she has PCOS and had been trying for a while, I'm more hurt that she's dreading talking to me and I'm going to be the last person up here to find out. 

Ugh, okay, sorry that was all over the place.  I think I just needed to vent to those who understand.

    Oh sweetie, big (((hugs)))!  It sounds like you are having one of those days where your life is being run by IF and it just all piles on.  I think it is completely natural to be down about your SIL, not because you aren't happy for her but because it is an awful reminder for you.  Also, I feel like IF making people think you're unapproachable is waaaayyy worse than people just barging right ahead and telling you...it isn't like your personality changes and you can't be kind anymore.  More (((hugs))), and vent away...that's what we're here for!

    I agree, having someone think they can't tell you is really brutal.  My SIL and BIL flipped a coin to decide who was going to tell us...and then told us they did that.  I am sorry you're having a crap day.  The least mother nature could do would be to allow our raging hormones to induce bliss!  Hang in there.

    Holy cow.  That's a lot in one day.  Sending HUGS your way!

    bfarrell:  I think it sucks they told you they flipped the coin.  My IF journey tends to make me irritable (although I do try to fight it), so I think that would make me want to punch them.

    So sorry u are having a rough day, infertility does stink! And I totally agree about ppl. being afraid to tell you they are pregnant, it's like ppl. are afraid I might start crying or something.  We have been trying for 3 1/2 years and I hate that ppl. feel like they can't share their good news with me. At this point I have really just accepted our situation and don't wanna be treated or looked at any different b/c of infertility.
