Emotional Day

My emotions are all over the place today. My son & I were playing in his room today, and out of nowhere he says, "mommy can I have a brother like (insert cousins name here) I want him to play in my room with my toys." my sister has 3 boys, and her middle is only 6 months older than my son, so they are close. Anyway, I lost it, I just sat there crying. It is so hard to stay positive, I just want it to happen, and I am so scared it won't. I hate days like these...

My History:
Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!

1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.

  • It's so hard. My identical twin is due in 2 weeks with her 4th (she can't afford the 3 that she has) and my 3 year old has started to ask me a lot why she gets to have all the kids and I don't. It makes me so sad. (((((Hugs))))))

    TTC #2 since 1/1/13

  • The hardest part about this for me is the sibling thing.  My daughter is fascinated by pregnant women and babies so ages 2.5 to 3-ish years old was really hard for me. She asked daily about when her sister was coming since her friends all seemed to be getting one, told her daycare providers and anyone else who would listen that she was getting a sister soon which was hard because I think everyone thought that I was pregnant, but keeping it secret.  Now that she's newly 4 she doesn't talk about it as much, but I'm crushed when people ask her if she has any siblings and she responds, "my mommy hasn't had a baby for me yet."  I cried typing that. 

    You're not alone.  Hopefully it won't be too much longer that any of our kids are asking for a sibling!

    all AL welcome. TTC #2 for 43 44 months.

  • I COMPLETELY understand what you're going through. I had no trouble getting pregnant with my son, who will be 3 in November. Now, I've been trying for over a year and it so incredibly freaking hard to hear him talk about babies and cousins that are babies, etc. Especially if he says he wants one too :( I have many days like you're describing, it's hard to stay upbeat when we are faced with toddlers and babies and everything we want every day/all day.

  • I'm sorry that anyone has to go through infertility. Not that I wish this upon anyone, but it help to know that others know what I am going through.

    I'm so sorry. My daughter names all of her baby dolls and toys at home after her daycare/school mates little siblings and it's starting to have an effect on me :-( I do think that we are one of the only ones in her class that do not have a younger sibling at the school, and the other ones who don't have a little one, already have older siblings. It's hard.

  • For me I am realistic that even if we had a 1 year old or younger around it wouldn't likely be the playmate that my daughter is imaging - it's not like having her friend over. And I do think that overall my daughter has had an amazing childhood so far. I try to think long range. My brothers and I are great friends now although as the only girl I felt a little like an outsider growing up. I really want her to have a sibling, but I'm much closer to my brothers now than I was growing up, and we rely on each other for some things.  So in the scheme of things 5-ish years I think is OK.
