BAM!!! vent....

priadean · May 2013

So remember my post a few days ago.... feeling so hopeful and positive.... Well today (figuratively speaking of course) I just got hit by a freaking bus....

A friend who has 4 kids youngest age 5 just announced she is prego and they weren't trying and she is shocked, then a friend decided to start trying and it worked the first month, then a friend announces she is 10 weeks along and continued to talk about how she will have 2 under 2 and life is going to get crazy.... ugh...

So I as I sit here pondering on all this new info I can't help but start sulking for the first time in 2 months about how I just wish it would happen... sitting at day 26 wondering if we are moving on to our next round of clomid or if we will have the thrill of a lifetime in just a few short days.... Man, I felt so good a few days ago... why do I all of their luck to upset me.

How are you all dealing???... it is crazy thinking of all of you out there in the same boat... yet I feel so very alone here.

So weird.. The reason why I got on this board today was because I was a little down today.

I too, am trying to get pregnant. Been off birth control for 2 years, did clomid for 4 months and letrozole (sp) 2 months, done 1 IUI and have had a HSG.

I was in good spirits all this month thinking that I am ok with not getting pregnant until the end of summer. But then out of the blue the last couple of days everyone is pregnant. And when I ask how long they have been trying they tell me 1 month! Now, I am excited and happy for them? But it instantly puts me in sad mood?. I am from a small community so we keep a lot of things to our self. So, when they ask when we are going to have a baby? I just say.. Whenever I get pregnant. J

So, after this long post.. Just know I am in the same boat as you! It?s hard. I cry. I pray no period and this is the month.. Then I do it all again the next month... But I tell myself IT will happen. And that's what keeps me going. Good Luck to you!

For me, some days are good, some days are bad. And sometimes it doesn't hurt me to hear about pregnancy and be around babies, and somedays I can't take it. Honestly, I just take it day by day (as corny as that sounds) and I've been trying to focus on other things (buying a house, getting a better job, etc.) while the time passes and we are benched from trying.

I've found that being open with some of our friends and family has really helped me. Also, when I really feel sad, I come on this board and talk to others because it helps lift my spirits. I hope you feel better soon, HUGS

I had a really hard day yesterday, so naturally today was my first bad "facebook" day. I logged into facebook to right away see an ultrasound posted from a friend's wife. I knew she was pregnant, but seeing the picture really made my heart feel like there were claws digging into it. I blocked her (just for a little while). We aren't close, so I really don't care. Nothing on facebook had ever hurt me like that before. Totally not her fault, but whatever.

It's hard. It's SO hard. Would it be better if we never had to encounter pregnant people ever, anywhere? I don't know. Maybe, but part of me thinks that some of the TTC hope resides in knowing that one day we might be the ones telling our families and posting things on facebook.

I have swings too, good days and bad days. I'm sorry today is a bad one for you. Good luck, hopefully this will be the month!

Sorry you are down right now. Hang in there! Hopefully your good news is a few days away!

So sorry you are having a rough day. Some days are harder than others. Sending ((hugs)) your way.

IntuitiveBlue:
The only thing that helps me is to repeat the following:
"This is not about me!" (I mean, someone else's pregnancy ISN'T about you any more than your eventual pregnancy will be about them.)
Sorry y'all are having rough days. Hang in there. ((hugs))

This is great advice IntuitiveBlue! Easier said than done some days, but so true. Hugs to all of you who need them!

That's a lot of announcements in a short time, sorry you're having a tough day. Pregnancy announcements are the worst

Thank you all so much for chatting with me. So helpful coming from people feeling the same roller coaster feelings that I am going through... I know this journey will be over one day and we will all hold babies in our arms and we won't even think about how hard it has been... But until that day of joy hugs to all and thanks for being there!

I feel you. So many preg announcements lately. All were conceived easily. I lost it on Mother's Day after being on FB with everyone talking about how great it is to be a mom and then a preg announcement. I try to tell myself it will be me one day. It is so stressful and upsetting getting BFN every month. Our time will come. Hang in there.
