I'm about to scratch my eyes out.

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Since TTC I really have noticed every pregnant thing in sight. I'm also helping to plan a baby sprinkle for my sister in law. And I'm involved in a group text with the other people helping. Every text with all the baby stuff makes me want to scratch my eyes out. I feel so guilty for being so bitter and trying my best but... uuhghhuhhrrrrhhghh!

    I am sorry you are feeling this way. I second the alcohol! On a separate note, What is a baby sprinkle? Like a mini shower?

    Is there any way you can step back from the texts and help in other ways? 

    I'm totally with you on this sentiment today though. It's been a weird couple of days for my emotions and then I saw a facebook pregnancy announcement and had to unfollow and walk away.

    I have LITERALLY have seen three pregnancy announcements on Facebook this week and two girls down from my office are pregnant and they compare symptoms very loudly.

    A baby sprinkle is for mothers who have a child already and don't need all the big stuff so guests are asked to only bring diapers, wipes, and bath stuff.

    My mother in law is also helping and she is type A. So everything she gets, she has to show it to me. I know they aren't doing this on purpose because they don't know. But seriously, it irks me!! And even though I want to have a drink, I'm waiting for AF so I don't want to chance iT.

    For some reason I completely thought this was going to be a ttc with allergies thread. Yikes on the sprinkle. That would be a aw move where I'm from. Vent away if alchohal is a no go and good luck for your tww.

    Well I say that. But I never got a temp change and never got a positive on my opk. So I'm just assuming I am in my tww. See??? More bitterness. I'm gonna go get in a bubble bath. :0)

    Perhaps you are having an annovulatory cycle, or perhaps for some reason you are going to ovulate later this month than you've expected. Do you have a chart stalk :) we like those.

    Drink more wine! :P

    I totally agree! The last two movies I went to were The Gift and Trainwreck and somehow a baby comes up in each! That almost made me lost it and that's not even in my real life!

    I have heard there's a way to remove yourself from group text! Only do what you need to for this "sprinkle", not that I personally believe in having one, and then have a glass of wine/beer/vodka/whiskey and go home to watch whatever your guilty pleasure tv show is!

    *pregnancy and loss mentioned*

    Yup. I got pregnant in March and had a good friend who was also pregnant right around the same time. We would have been within a couple of week apart. Then I had a miscarriage. Today I saw her 22 week bump photo on facebook and then I was this:

    I'm surrounded by at work 3 women who recently had a baby, one of which is pregnant with her second and there are 3 other pregnancy announcements in the office and I had a CP four weeks ago! I feel your pain! I'm not angry with anyone, but it does make me want to cry sometimes. We will get our sticky BFPs eventually...I try really hard to think that their blessings mean that mine isn't too far away and they were in the same boat as me not that long ago. I literally know some of the girls had multiple MCs and some over a year of trying so it's mostly giving me hope when I am thinking positively.

    I feel you. I must have radar for anything baby or pregnancy related these days. It's pretty miserable.

    Why the discarded temp on the 13th? Depending on what your temp is today, I think it looks like you O'd on the 13th or 14th.

    I think it's so crazy that when your not trying to get pregnant you don't notice the babies or pregnant ladies but the second you start thinking about getting pregnant yourself they are everywhere. It's a struggle for real!

    Yupp I notice at least a couple pregnant women a day, especially at work. And then I stare at them for an inappropriate amount of time before realizing they probably noticed and think I'm a weirdo. Oops. Same thing happens with people and their babies.

    @LizaKate1213 I believe I discarded it because I was moving around a lot that morning and didn't know how accurate it was.

    I had two friends tell me on the same day that they got pregnant on accident and "we're gonna figure out how to make it work."

    Not trying to jump your case, but being pregnant when you don't expect to be & haven't planned it is no walk in the park.

    It's not like they said this to upset you or rub it in your face. It's a real issue for them, & I'm not sure you are being fair in this instance.

    To PP: hang in there y'all. Hopefully everyone's time will come.

    @PrimRoseMama oh I know! For some reason it only posted the first sentence I wrote for it? I am incredibly happy for them, and I know that happening is a totally different, difficult experience. They didn't know at the time we were working on TTC nor should they have changed telling me if they had. It's just hard to hear when it just happens to someone else by accident, and it brings out a hint of jealousy in me :/
