Guess what I just saw on my walk down to the cafeteria of my office building. If you're thinking to yourself 5 late 2nd trimester or 3rd trimester pregnant bellies and a newborn, you would be right. Oh, and earlier this morning, I lurked on other boards that I know are dangerous and depress me, so I was already feeling a bit bitter. It would be so much easier having an empty ute and keeping a positive spirit if the rest of the freaking world wasn't knocked up or cuddling newborns. Bunch of inconsiderate a-holes, I say.

On top of that my dental hygienist blabbered on about how she just got married but, she's 34 and they're gonna try soon but she didn't think OPKs and shit were necessary and blah blah and I was THIS CLOSE to giving her a cold dose of reality and telling her
She better hop on it I couldn't get KU at 21 when I was newlywed! We started trying on our wedding night and it took 4 freaking years in our "prime" reproductively.
I give her 3 months tops before she breaks down and buys the OPKs she doesn't think she needs!

And I agree that she'll buy over into OPKs in no time when she most likely figures out it's usually not as easy as just having sex, peeing on a stick, and celebrating.
I'm sorry that you're feeling down, probably with the thoughts about how you should've been sharing your news with everyone over the holidays. ((hugs))

Cherry on top: the newborn is now just an aisle away from my desk, letting out that signature newborn cry. So much for my thought earlier that eating was overrated and that I should've just stayed at my desk. Turns out, if you try to hide from them, they will hunt you down. Well played, newborn. Well played.

I was just about to start a new thread that said, "EFF YOU Universe!!" But I will also hijack this one
My BFF, who has 5 kids already and who's husband had a vasectomy, just sent me a text that she doesn't keep track of her cycles anymore but thinks she might be 4 days late. I love her to death and she is the only one that knows about our fertility issues, but really? With everything that I have been going through you decide to tell me this? Ugh.
BFP #1 12.24.07 - DD born @ 39w1d on 08.26.08 BFP #2 08.04.11 - DD born still @ 37w3d on 03.25.12
Ugh sorry ladies here's my throat punch, just got done babysitting my friend's 11 week NATURAL fraternal twins. I love them, they're adorbs, but with all the drugs and procedures I've had when is it my freaking turn?!?
Two DDs 10/08 and 08/10, no primary IF
TTC #3 since 10/2011 - dx unexplained/weak ovulation
3 BFN clomid + TI cycles, 5 BFN clomid/gonal f IUIs, 1 mmc IUI
2/19/2014 IVF #1 Unexpected low E2 (oversuppressed) -> increased to max doses = 3 or 4 follicles, converting to IUI
BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.
NTNP 5/2014-9/2014, OPKs and TI 10/2014 - 1/2015.
RPL testing all normal, AFC, AMH, and FSH all normal.
Ugh, @tuscanbride2007. I don't know what some people are thinking. To know what you're going through and sending you an "oh my gosh, I think I might be pregnant even though my husband is fixed" type of text seemed like a good idea on what planet? ((hugs))

((hugs)) to you @Jen071407. I'm feeling blue with one newborn chasing after me. To have 2 adorable little babies in my face would turn me into a crying mess today. I shake my fists at the universe for you and the rest of my 2IF ladies.

@Jen071407, trying the tag again because the first one didn't like me for some reason.

@CheesyPeas Thanks lady! I am so thankful that I can come here to vent especially when the one IRL friend that knows about our 2IF pulls something like this!! Maybe we need a weekly throat punch thread!

Your experience today just supports my idea that I shouldn't get out of bed most days... staying under the covers watching bad TV is the safest place I can think of.
I have about 10 people on my FB posting either about their pregnancy or spamming my feed with newborns. The hardest for me to swallow is my 22 year old brother and his girl who werent even sure they wanted a second are 12 weeks, and every other post from her is pregnancy related.
Confession : I have hidden her posts, it seriously makes me sad. I'm happy for them and all but I feel like its being rubbed in my face and I can't deal.

Re: It's a dangerous world out there...
I should be at the end of my first trimester
