Trouble TTC

I am a horrible person

I mean a horrible, horrible person! 

I tested at 12, 13 and 14DPO, got a BFN each time.  My official blood draw was today, so I'll get the call later confirming what I already know.  My hopes were soaring this time around, it seemed impossible for it not to work this time, so I knew that if it didn't the fall would be hard.  I rearranged my schedule so I could have some quiet time to myself tonight, to repair, regroup, and yes have a mini pity party.

DH, sends me an email asking if I would bake something tonight for his Uncles Charity benefiting the neo-natal unit at the hospital.  I broke down crying, bake something for a baby hospital, tonight, really?  So my initial reaction was very, very bad, very bitter, very angry, and a horrible side of me that I'm so ashamed of.  I have to find strength to do this because I'll hate myself even more if I don't, I just wish it all had better timing.

Re: I am a horrible person

  • I think we all have days where we get to be bitter and angry, and that's ok.  My advice is to bake something very wonderful (and complicated so it takes all your energy and focus).  But I find baking & cooking therapeutic.  If you don't, buy something.

  • I think it's okay to have a moment to just be angry/sad/frustrated and even selfish, so don't feel badly. We just have to be careful that our moments don't impact our life, relationships and goals. Hope you start to feel better soon hun. We know how hard this can be.

  • You.are.not.a.horrible.person!! Buy the prettiest cupcakes (+ 2 extra) on your way home, get home, take them out of the package, plate all but the extra 2, give plate to DH, eat extra 2 cupcakes while watching trash tv or taking a hot bath. Problem solved. ((huge hugs))

  • So sorry about the BFN and the resulting fall from happy hoping. I'm afraid that I'm setting myself up for that this cycle and know the let down will be beyond devastating. I'm sorry you have to feel that way.

    Is there something you can make that's easy or can you pick up something baked instead? That way you don't have to spend all day baking some masterpiece for babies today. 

    And while you're at it, maybe pick up something yummy for yourself and give yourself a treat.

    This exactly-IF sucks, but at some point you will be through it and you won't always feel this way.  If you don't feel up to baking-DONT.  Go buy something and cut yourself a break! HUGS

    THis! And I think that the fact that you can recognize your "dark side" if you will makes you NOT a horrible person! We can all have sad dark days, but as long as we don't let it consume us or change us then we're in good shape. Sorry about your BFN :( 

  • We all have those moments. Even the most supportive DH can't really understand how we feel. But I'm sure he understands that it was just a bad time. We all deserve our own pity parties! Good luck with everything!
