Sigh.

So, my progesterone supplements (or maybe the natural p4 levels from my med-enhanced number of follies this cycle) are really kicking in. My boobs hurt and feel huge, and beginning today I'm feeling really moody. And it's still relatively early so I don't even have the consolation of imagining these could be pg symptoms.
So naturally today's the day that when I log into Facebook in an idle moment at work I find out that friends of DH and I who have already conceived and had one child since we started TTC are now pg with another -- soon they'll have two under two. Lapped twice! We see these friends a lot, and I think they're great parents, so of course I'm happy for them. Any other day I would have reacted fine. But today I teared up (several times now) and feel sad and envious. :-( I feel awful for feeling this way.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent -- hoping I can put this out of my mind so I can concentrate on work. (Another thing the progesterone makes more difficult --boo.)
Re: Sigh.
I know how you are feeling with PG friends - I was optimistic last cycle and then a dear friend tells be she is PG with #2 the day after AF arrived. Great timing there. And then we blew it this cycle - I got really sick over Thanksgiving and we were hosting company - all just before I Oed.
Wishing you good luck!
Sorry your feeling down...it stinks. My PG friend called me Sun to talk and started to discuss her nursery for the baby. She did DE IVF so I knew she had a hard time getting PG but it still hurts. I sobbed all day...plus I'm due for AF.
Hang in there:) (HUGS)

Ugh. Pregnancy announcement are the worst. Especially when you get lapped. Sorry you're having a rough time.
I think the progesterone is making me break out. I have three big zits on my chin, and I almost never get acne. Grrrrr. Feeling tired and cranky, too. It doesn't help that I started a new job this week.
Hang in there!
