I think a lot of my struggle was how much I was around kids and how seemingly everyone else I knew was pregnant while we were battling. Thanks for the hugs!

Same here. I had 3 friends get "accidentally" pregnant within months of my loss. All of my cousins got pg during our struggle. And I got lapped by the girl who sat at the desk next to me. She got two before I even got one and complained all day every day about her pregnancies. I remember feeling very black hole anguishy at the time. But now I try to focus on how it has made me a better, more compassionate person and a more appreciative mom. It's not always easy, but I try.
TTC with PCOS since November 2009
IUI#1 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP, m/c IUI#2 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 5-9) = BFN IUI#3 Femara/Ovidrel (cd 3-7) = BFP! beta #1 11/23 = 270, P4 = 75 beta #2 11/28 = 2055 Our daughter E was born 7/29/2012! Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!
Sorry, I should feel better about it since I'm just 2 wks until my RCS date, but I'm bitter. Today was the day of our friends' wedding in Spain, a wedding we wanted to go to and due to so many failed rounds of treatments TTC#3 we ultimately missed it. Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful we were finally successful, but a ton of our friends have been posting pics on FB from Spain all week and today and we missed a totally awesome wedding.
If it weren't for IF, I wouldn't be a mommy to V, S, or B. I'm sure, being none the wiser, I would love any babies just as much as the 3 IVF has brought me. But I can't help but be immeasurably grateful for MY babies, the babies I feel I was meant to have.
