  I just say I can't I have another obligation.  No explanation necessary.  I don't do showers either.  But I don't blame you

  
  

  My BFF had her baby in October.  I love her and her children, thankfully after a daily photo we had a heart to heart and she understands that while I love them all the daily reminder of what I don't have is hard and she's stopped.

  I'm about 99% certain my OPP is an imaginary one in my head, but it just goes to show how much IF makes me crazy.  I'm basically waiting around for everyone I know to announce a pregnancy...

  My brother got engaged about two weeks ago.  I had a dream that the reason they got engaged was because she's pregnant.  Now, they're not at all the type of people who would get married just because of that, and I'm honestly not sure they want children, but now that the thought is in my head I can't get rid of it!  They come to our place for Thanksgiving so I figure I'll start to really lose it if she declines any alcohol the whole day...

  Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,

  who know I'd ovulate on my own after a cancelled cycle and end up with a mega cyst

  My major OPP is one of my clients. Even though this site is anonymous, I don't want to say too much (because ethics), but lets just say that it can be hard as an addictions therapist going through IF and hearing when clients who are in no way wanting a child (and are often still using drugs and not prepared to provide for a kid) end up getting pregnant by accident (this happens relatively frequently, but a specific situation like this happened to me this week). And here I am, not even drinking this whole month, taking my prenatals religiously, going through IF treatments, and I can't get KU. @BunnyBerry this would have been a good story for your church "friend" who thought IF means you "just aren't ready."

  
  

  Also, one of my good friends is having her baby shower the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the evening. I told her I couldn't go because my parents are going to be visiting us from out of town for the holiday and staying till Sunday and I didn't want to leave them on their own for dinner their last night here (they live 3.5 hrs away and we don't see them all that often). She was super short with me and said how disappointed she was. She knows what we are going through with IF, and I just wasn't expecting her to actually be mad about me not going to the shower-- although the primary reason is my parents coming down, I also have my beta for IUI #1 3 days before the shower and it would have been really hard to go if I got a negative anyway. So, because I felt so bad after the way she reacted, I insisted that we meet this week for me to give her my gifts... we are going to lunch on Friday and I'm trying to prepare myself for seeing her open my gifts and be all cute and pregnant.

  @englandxo you definitely get an early TP for that so called friend.  You're much calmer than I am.  I would have likely lost it on someone who actually wanted to share meds and spoke to her husband like that in public.  Wow...

  Omg what a messed up friend. I took a part time afternoon nanny position so I Could do the fertility treatments in the morning. This kids have swimming practice at the Y. Every Monday and Wednesday I get to be tortured with two Y workers there pregnant. My one friend who I couldn't deal with going to her baby shower hasn't talked to me since I told her the truth of what has been going on with our fertility issues. She can't relate getting her BFP in a month. Ugh I just want to be pregnant already. I can't take this emotional pain any longer.

  Is it awful that I'm dreading Thanksgiving because my BIL and his girlfriend will most likely be there with their baby?  I'm also convinced she is going to get KU again anytime soon if she isn't already.  My beta is Monday and with my doctors grim prognosis on my poor little embryos, I'm assuming it's a BFN.  @englandxo I am shaking my head in disbelief.  I don't know what's worse, the fact that she had the nerve to ask you or that she would use somebody else's fertility meds.  What is wrong with some people?  @shafwilson I'm right there with ya, I feel like the whole world is going to announce their pregnancy soon.

  I don't know what OPP means, but I think I I have baby stories? my boss basically made me hang out with a lady with a 15 week old while they discussed babies. I'm not looking forward to thanksgiving either because last year A cousin was 20 weeks pregnant and I was thinking we both would have a baby for this thanksgiving.

  @shafwilson and @triathlete23 I am the same way too. I have one friend who I overheard chatting about trying for a second about 6 months ago and every time I see her (about once a week) I am always freaked out she will say she is pg. I don't even know if she really is trying or not, I am just always on my guard.

  Same here. I admit that I shamelessly track one of my friends drinking habits. If she doesn't get a beer one night, I obsess about it until I see her again. What have I become!
  
  @englandxo‌ I am going to join the chorus of "your friend is insane." Props for handeling the situation at all.

  @englandxo @cinzink you both deserve an award for you patience and ability to keep your cool with all that craziness.
  
  My Facebook has blown up today with bump and newborn pics... plus a status update from a guy, "I guess I can't make girls. Just found out we're going to have a third son." I refuse to feel bad for his wife who is having her third kid in 5 years but isn't getting a little girl.

  Like many others on this board, I have hidden nearly everyone on my FB newsfeed who has a new baby. I am noticing in the past few days that these people have started popping back up. Has anyone else had the same experience? I am trying to re-hide these people but I was totally thrown off this morning by some pics .

  Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

  We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

  @cinzink I thought I had hidden most of them. tons of "look at my new family member, best friends baby, etc." And then surprise bumps from people who don't post too often. My family is pretty active on Facebook so I use it mostly to keep track of the fun stuff they do. I might have to do a more thorough hiding, though, since I now have friends going on number 2 or 3.
  
  I also want to say thank you to all of you wonderful Ladies. You help me realize that I'm not alone in all this or in feeling these emotions.
