TTC After a Loss

I want to hibernate

I'm sorry to do this, I just need to vent for a minute.

For the last few weeks, I've been feeling great. Been excited and hopeful as we have a plan to do another IUI in the next few weeks. I felt like I was coping with the loss well and was so excited for what is hopefully to come. Then came today. I came home from work, fell asleep for an hour, woke up and checked Facebook. First thing I see is a message from my best friend telling me her 12 week appt was great. Next, I see a coworker announce she's expecting. Then, I see some stupid post about the pregnant Duggar girl. This whole full moon lunar eclipse thing is throwing me for a loop.

  • It all can blindside you sometimes.  I have decided to move to my couch with my cats.  I also avoid facebook like the plague.  There are a lot of bad days mixed in with the good, and hopefully you will have more good than bad.
  • Facebook can be a danger zone sometimes. I think I finally counted about 15 announcements in a two week period show up on mine so I decided to take a break for a few weeks. If it is always the same people though you can unfollow them so you don't get their updates but remain friends so you can check on them when you are in a good place. ((Hugs)) it's not stupid though many of us have been in the same place, you just have to hang on tight and you'll get through this one step at a time.

    Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.

  • ((hugs)) so sorry.  I've been through that too, with lots of people close to me announcing pregnancies.  It's such a hard place to be.  There's no "right" way to deal with it.  For me, I have to distance myself from those people for now.  I am happy for them, but I can't deal with it for a while.  Do whatever you need to do.

    Everyone Welcome.

  • I had to stop following dozens of people on facebook because it was too heartbreaking with all the u/s pics and announcements each day.. we also stopped watching a few of our fav tv shows because characters have been getting pregnant.. you can't avoid everything and everyone unfortunately, but you can prevent it as much as possible to make it easier ((hugs))
  • ((((Hugs))) you all rock
  • Big hugs! Facebook can be a tough place.
