My BFF gave birth today (baby mentioned, obviously)

in TTC After a Loss

And I feel good!

I promise it's true. I haven't shed one tear of sadness, only tears of joy. I couldn't handle visiting them in the hospital of course, but they live on the other side of the country, so I can celebrate in the safety of my home. 

 When this BFF announced her pregnancy to me back in January, I was so distraught I stayed up all night crying. That was the same night I joined TB and ultimately TTCAL. I knew I needed to talk to women who knew EXACTLY what that pain felt like, I have have found so much more than that! 

Thank you TTCAL, for making me a strong woman.

    What a great feeling it must be to be truly happy for your friend!! I still struggle a lot with hearing BFP's and pregnancy milestones particularly in those close to my EDD so the day I feel like you I will be so relieved and overjoyed!! :-)

    Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation. 

    Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
    Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
    Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
    Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP!  EDD: 6/7/14

    That's great!  I haven't had anyone close to me give birth since our losses, but when a close friend gave birth after our IF dx, I felt the same as you describe, even though I was dreading it and terrified of what my reaction would be.  I was excited, too, but I didn't know how I would take it. 

    When someone you love so dearly is given such a wonderful gift, that seems to overshadow the sadness and envy for a while.  Hope you can enjoy your friend and her baby in person soon!

    TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
    2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
    2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
    2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
    IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
    So lost.

    (hugs) I'm glad you were able to feel joy for your friend.  I have a few close friends who are pregnant and I'm scared to think about when they give birth.  You've given me hope that I can be happy for them too!
