Lapped again...

Sharon216 · July 2013

Most of our friends passed us up w/ LO 2 a long time ago but it really stings to find out friends are expecting a 3rd. Our DDs were born within days and they have a DS that just turned 2. Baby 3 due in Jan. I started off 2013 feeling very hopeful. I thought once we decided to do IVF, we had a real shot at having a baby before the holidays. Now who knows... :

: I'm sorry. Totally know feeling this year alone a four friends have announced pregnancies, one this is fifth child, one fourth, and other two third. Got my girl, but also last one to have a baby at all. It hurts, and it gets harder to say congratulations and not show personal sadness for sure! What stage are you at in IVF? We just had appointment to look at FET in fall for DD's last frozen twin but are considering just starting fresh to increase chances did fresh and two frozens 6eggs! before DD stuck so if history repeats itself, starting fresh is smarter choice, but that means we wait longer to try : I'm sure I will hear about another pregnancy before then. Is it wrong sometimes I think "kidney punch!!!" :

It's so so hard, isn't it? I have friends that conceived after my son was born as well who are now either pregnant or have had another child. I can't help but calculate every month how far apart DS would be from any other sibling that we may have if I got pregnant that month. I know it's not helpful, but I do it anyway. And then AF shows, and I have to recount. I don't have a lot to add other than I'm sorry and I understand how you feel.

I'm sorry. That is so tough. We have been lapped by a few but about 15 friends and family have had their first recently and I'm dreading what is coming. I know I shouldn't, but I get more and more bitter with each BFP. I keep slipping in and out of denial, and in my more positive moments like to think about how happy I will be when we get our next baby.

It TOTALLY sucks! I've been lapped a few times, and I feel so down on myself thinking about it.

Back in 2011, when DH and I first started trying, we had a date night on new year's eve (which conveniently coincided with ovulation -- and shocker -- did not end up with a bfp). Hubs and I came up with the idea of predicting things that would happen in the upcoming year. We went through basic things... jobs, house, the Dodgers' record (haha), and finally DH said, "I think we'll be pregnant before the end of 2012." I scoffed and told him that we would already have a baby by the end of the year. Um, jinx? Here we are... so much further down the road, still no pregnancy.

So I just wanted to tell you that I hear you and I am sorry it hurts so much. I feel it too. I hold my breath every time I go on stupid facebook (I really need to leave it) because I'm afraid to be lapped again. I can only hold on to hope that there's a future baby for us, too. Don't lose hope!
