TTC After a Loss

FB... I should just stop

Seriously, I should just stop looking at facebook... it rarely doesn't give me some kind of a gut punch.

This morning was a little bad though. I got another BFN this morning, so I was already feeling a little down. Then another pg announcment. Seriously? And she's 2 weeks ahead of where I 'should have' been.

DH is off helping his parents with some physical labor this morning, and he wouldn't let me go "just in case... I don't want you lifting anything heavy" so I'm sitting at home... alone, feeling defeated. This sucks.

  • Facebook is the worst. I took myself off over a month ago and it has been so freeing. I totally understand that gut punch feeling. There is life after facebook!

    What horrible timing :-(  Any way you can get to where your husband is and help out?  Sometimes physical activity can help with distraction and makes you feel better in the long run.  

    I hate the reminders of what could have been - so hard.  Hang in there and more ((hugs)).

  • Ugh...I just can't seem to drag myself away.  It seems like it's been particularly hard the past couple months.  Everybody is getting KUed.  The latest one was an old friend who is barely home from her honeymoon, and her due date is the same as my EDD from my last MC.  It's also the day before her birthday, and when got that last BFP I thought of her.  I'm happy for her, but dammit.

    Also, because this just gets my goat.  Here's a paraphrase from my newsfeed today:

    "During a lesson today, one of my students asked me if I was sure I was pregnant. I told her I was, and she said, 'You're the skinniest pregnant lady I've ever met.'"

    Well isn't that just fracking spectacular.  You're skinny AND pregnant.  Must be great to be you.  Meanwhile, I had a kid touch my empty belly fat and ask if I was pregnant.

    Sometimes it just feels like the universe is playing cruel tricks on us.  Or at least sticking out its foot and tripping us once in a while.

    Sorry you're feeling down about FB.  I know how you feel.  Must...close...window....

  • Yeah, facebook sucks. I thought I was the only one who felt this way!! I am certain that there were just as many announcements before my loss, but it seems like now a switch has been flipped in my head and I just can't not notice them. I only go on about once every two weeks and the only reason why is because I don't want people to start asking why I am never on facebook anymore. 

     

    Don't worry, our time will come. Until then, just lay low or go in and turn your feed to only be your very closest friends and family . (((Hugs)))

  • Ugh!  I'm so, SO sorry.  I totally get how you're feeling...I just recently deactivated my FB for that exact reason.  Too many BFP and birth announcements.  With my first EDD coming up soon and my most recent loss still very fresh, I'm just way too fragile to handle any of that.  It's okay to shut er down or take a break.  In fact, it's helped greatly! 

    (((HUGS))) to you!

  • Yeah FB really sucks sometimes.  However - it has been mentioned on here before, you don't always know the other person's story so they might have struggled to get pg/stay pg/etc - it's something I try to keep in mind when I see pg announcements.  Still - it's hard.  Sending you big ((hugs))

  • I quit fb two months ago, it's literally been one of the most liberating experiences; But, in all seriousness I do like that we're out of unnecessary fb drama, I'm not at a point in my life anymore where I need/want the world to know my every move and it brings back the personalness of sharing news with people you love rather then everyone you've ever met. Just take a breakdeactivate it. You can always go back, I've really loved it.
