Trouble TTC

I need a hug

I just got back from my clinic appt and my second round of femara failed.  After the first one, my RE said this was the best option for me and to try it again and it should work.  I got my hopes up so high, I started responding on Friday, then I went in today and everything shrunk.  I'm just so frustrated and sick of this!  And to top it off I sat down on the couch and turned on the tv to take my mind off of it and on GMA this woman was surprising her parents with her pregnancy announcement live on TV.  Can't a girl catch a break?

    I'm sorry :(  

    And if I can sound like a Bitter Betty....why the heck did they need to show some random person announcing their pregnancy?  Unless there were some unusual circumstances, it's not like it's some amazing miracle announcement as if there was an immaculate conception.  sheesh!
