Trouble TTC

just venting.....mc mentioned

Just having a really sad day today.  had I not miscarried the first time I would have been in my 9th month of pregnancy.  My projected due date was next week on the 5th. I started my first round of clomid this cycle and progesterone. This friday I am suppose to take a pregnancy test. I am not feeling it so I have been so down today.  I know you ladies have been there and some have been dealing with this a lot longer.  It's so hard going to work. I work with families who are mostly low income and am just amazed by some of these people who have 6 kids by 6 different daddies and no way to take care of them. Yet we are trying to plan our families and have such a difficult time. I just need to get this out. Thanks for listening.

  • I agree it can be so frustrating when people who can't afford or who don't really want kids can easily pop them out but people who have planned their life out and are ready to be loving parents somehow have a difficult time. Keep your chin up and try to stay positive (I know its hard) positive thoughts are good for the body.

    So sorry you are feeling down :o(  Been there...and I promise, it will get easier.  I wish you luck with your testing this weekend!!  I am on my first round of clomid, had an IUI today and start progesterone tomorrow.  I am already scared of the future potential of another loss.  I have suffered 2 m/c's in the past year, and those milestones don't seem like they will ever leave my mind.  Just keep looking forward to what is yet to come!

    Keep your head up!  FX!  <3

  • Hugs for you.  I know how you feel.  A friend from HS has the exact same EDD as I had for my loss (Dec 13).  She's posting belly pics, I'm doped up on hormones trying not to cry at the drop of a hat.

    Best of luck this week.  FXed for you!

  • You ladied are awsome!
  • I am so sorry.  EDDs are tough - my DH didn't seem to understand why I was so upset/depressed/frustrated/you-name-it the weeks leading up to my EDD last year.  Of course, it didn't help that my EDD was December 28th, so I don't know if it was something about the combination of the holidays (knowing that had there not been a m/c, we would have had a very different holiday), or my nephew's 1st birthday the following week, but my EDD month last year was very hard emotionally.  We're going through our first IVF cycle now, so we are hopeful to have something to celebrate for the holidays this year. 

    No matter what, you are entitled to whatever feelings you have.  So don't be afraid to express them and share them if you need to.  And remember to take some time for you during the next few weeks - sometimes we all just need a day to cry in the bathtub with a big bowl of ice cream!
