  I have some people I have unfollowed because they got pregnant and posted about it constantly. Then they had the baby and only post things about the baby now, it gets hard to see on a daily basis. I must say I'm surprised she is 5 and a half months along, but daily selfies? That would get annoying!

  I have one good friend who just had a baby, two that are in the last few weeks, and 1 who just announced. I have so many friends with babies and toddlers that I'm practically numb to it now. Even my friend who also went through IF has lapped me twice through adoption.

  
  

  But what does irk me at the moment are the friends constantly posting selfies of themselves at the gym, with their gym bodies, mostly shirtless (for the guy) or in tight gym wear (for the girl). I unfollowed them both because I could never be into them as much as they are into themselves. I have a great gym body too, and work hella hard at it. But I do it for my health, myself, the future child I hope to carry, and my DH, NOT for FB friends! Grr!!

  You can block her from showing up in your newsfeed, but that way you're still 'friends'.  I've done that with a lot of pregnant people / moms who drive me crazy.

  You think thats bad! Two of the girls who were my TA's when I was teaching high school now have kids. Not woopsi, back seat kids, but graduated, job, man, kids.

  It hit me... I'm technically old enough to be a grandmother now!

   

  ...stuped facebook!

  There have been a few where I have just had to unfollow them in my news feed and then look them up when I'm curious... it's something that really hurts to see something  

  Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

  DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

  Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

  April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

  it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

  June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

  June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

  is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

  ugh that's tough..at least you can remove her from your newsfeed, which i would recommend if you two aren't close enough that you'd feel bad missing other non-preg related posts. when we were first trying (before anyone knew), i had two really close friends get pregnant back to back. they would post all the time about their pregnancies and how great it was to go through it all together. it was already hard watching them bond like that & then i had an early miscarriage. they were 6 weeks apart and after doing the math, i would have been the same. i had some seriously down days, talked to them to explain what was going on and that i was still thrilled for them, and now i have two beautiful 'nephews' that i couldn't love any more. i wish i knew what to tell you to make it better. hope hiding her posts help.

  
  

  Me:26 DH:27

  Married Oct 2011

  NTNP for about a year before actively 

  TTC since April 2013

  Currently testing for infertility cause and hormone imbalance.

  Infertility & ovarian cyst diagnosis: May '14

  B/W: 'good', more ordered to check antibodies & progesterone

  SA: Normal

  U/Ss for cyst: who the f knows

  DH's cat scan: showed encapsulated fatty growth; u/s: didn't really show much more

  Breast Specialist: Most likely a large fibroid, but keeping an eye on it, repeat u/s every 6mos 

  HSG: clear tubes, uterus is A-ok

  WHAT'S NEXT: DH's consult with surgeon to discuss next step for growth, either biopsy or surgery~Big discussion with Dr. before any possibility of starting Clomid, since I'll want another u/s before and to be monitored and he doesn't seem into that. I had to force his hand just to order the AMH test so may be looking for another OB

  ~All welcome ~

  Cycle 3 of OPK; Cycle 2 (this time around) of Temping

  No advice here - FBI has led me to some pretty epic crying fits. I just keep posting pictures of my garden and my fur babies, and mainly ignoring it. I read an article once saying that Facebook actually depressed most people, b/c you compare the best of someone's edited life to all of yours.

  Me (33), PCOS. Bloodwork normal, AMH slightly high, HSG clear 

  DH (40) SA good 

  Trying since 1/2012, RE 6/2014 

  Letrozole & TI June 2014-September 2014 -BFN

  October 2014 - IUI #1, lertozole - BFN

  November 2014 - IUI cancelled due to holiday, TI & Lertozole - BFN

  December 2014 - TI 

  January 2015 - IUI #2 - ?

  Un-follow her. I had to do that because one of my acquaintances kept posting daily "headlines" about what her baby was doing.  They were all newspaper themed.  Yeah....it was way too much. Even her close friend un-followed her.
