Trouble TTC

Babies.... Babies.... Babies....

That's all I've been seeing on FB! Either they have had a baby in the past year or they are pregnant. I'm going to guess I hae at least 30 friends with recent babies or pregnancies. Sigh..... I'm starting to think I need another FB break again. 

Anyone else on a FB break? How do you deal with all the babies on FB?

Re: Babies.... Babies.... Babies....

  • right there with you - i took about a 6 week hiatus from FB, returned  cautiously, and BAM! three pregnancy announcements my first week back. i've decided i'm going to stop until we get our BFP. it's just way too difficult to deal with. i'm sorry you're experiencing the same. it totally sucks.

  • I'm with you, too. Seriously thinking about another FB break. Even so, I can't get away from them. I'm literally surrounded (neighbors on both sides of us).

    Also, I have a baby shower coming up and have convinced my friend to do the shopping (we're going in on a gift together) so I don't have to deal with Babies R Us.

  • I took a break after our first failed IVF. It felt so good I'm thinking I need another break. It's not that I'm not happy for them cause I am. I would never wish IF on someone it's just the pain of seeing them happy and I'm not.

  • Le sigh. Ive sooo been there. I honestly deleted almost everyone, and hide the rest. lol Which is probably not the BEST way to handle it, but it worked for me.

  • Right there with you. My jealousy is not pretty. I've set a few people who do a huge amount of posting to not appear in my news feed. The thing that is so extra frustrating is that some of the people who post the MOST minute and often updates are those who also experiences 3T. 

    Thinking a break might be a good thing...

  • I took a break back in October after my first failed IUI. I am back on facebook now but have recently unsubscribed to a couple of people's news feeds because they are constantly posting every breath their children take and/or complaining nonstop about being pregnant. I don't have as many pregnancy announcements and new babies as you do though. I think it helps that many of my facebook friends are past the baby stage.  I may be taking another break though if IUI 3 fails. Hang in there!

  • I block anyone who is KU or an AW.  I probably wouldn't if it was a really good friend but most of my friends on there are from high school and I just don't need the constant reminders.

    After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
    IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
    No heartbeat at 10w6d
    FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
    It's a boy!

  • babies everywhere - i know! i hide some people if they are not family or close friends that i don't care if i miss their posts. ALso, consider making a list of people who are non-baby and i think you make that your default news feed so at least it's not the first thing you see when you log-in.

    A (passive and petty, granted) but something i do is i never comment or like a "baby" status or picture if i'm feeling particularly down or that person is annoying me. I feel like it's my little rebellion - like i'm ignoring them so it doesn't matter if they post it!

     

  • Anyone with a baby is blocked from my feed unless it is a girl from the bump.
