Vent

So I have managed to stay positive throughout this whole process but now I am P.O. I hate feeling this way and I swore I would never turn into a bitter person when it comes to TTC difficulties but I feel like it has taken over me.

I was just overwhelmed this weekend! Everywhere I looked there they are..PG women. There at least 5 women in my neighborhood that are PG. To top it off all we hear on the weekend are the sounds of little kids laughing and playing outside. Honestly, I LOVE the sound of little kids laughing and playing but since our first IUI failed it is starting to get quite annoying...

Has anyone felt this before? Will it soon pass? This is so not in my character and I HATE it.

Sorry so long....vent over

Re: Vent

I know exactly how you feel... My friends are all getting pregnant, and I see pregnant women and babies everywhere... and all I can think about is its so not fair... I have to take meds just to get me to ovulate before I can even think about TTC..
For all of us!!

Re: Vent

I know exactly how you feel. I've had 5 IUI's fail and have been so confused about what the next steps should be, then I get told about one of our friends who got pg. This has happened so many times that I am having are hard time keeping a smile on my face.

Re: Vent

I know how you feel too. I had a son pass at 36 weeks and have had a chemical and miscarriage in the 18 months we've been TTC since my son. So, I had 4 IUIs, two successful but not with good outcomes. To top it all off, my DH's ex-wife got pg "by mistake" and out of wedlock. She has a beautiful baby girl now.

It's heartbreaking and horrible, and you have every right to feel the way you do. Just try to keep your chin up and feel free to cry and vent here whenever you need to

Re: Vent

Bottom line, this process sux. I know how you feel.

Re: Vent

Thank you ladies...trust there have been alot of tears and I hope there won't be anymore. (but there probably will be)
This was our first IUI and I disn't know if I had it in me to do it again. In a way I am upset that I have to rest this cycle but maybe I need it.
Lauren - I'm sorry for your losses. It seems like for getting pg isn't the end of this struggle for some of us...its also staying.. it truly is unfair.

Re: Vent

I also know the feeling
Hang in there!

Re: Vent

I too, can relate. It seems like for me, the feeling you described comes in waves. There are times I am fine, and then there are times I cannot hold it together. All the drugs we are on to make this happen do not help, either. Hang in there!

Re: Vent

Believe me...I know exactly how you feel...it's awful that sometimes it gets so hard to deal...but, hopefully soon we won't be so bitter anymore.

Re: Vent

I know how you feel but honestly -- I have found so so many of the women I meet who are pg -- have gone through fertility treatments as well. So some of those ladies you see may have had a rough road too. I am not embarassed to tell people we went through IVF and then they open up too -- happened just this Saturday, and turned out she went to the same clinic as me, and got pg on her 2nd IVF as well.

When it does happen, you will be so happy it is finally your turn and you will appreciate it so much....I hope for BFPs on here every day.

Re: Vent

I have been there...and know exactly how you feel.
This is an extremely frustrating and emotional process. Sometimes I have hated PG women and then other times I am fine with it.
It's a very difficult road and one of the best things is having this board to cry and vent on. I don't know where I would be without the ladies here.

Re: Vent

I felt that way , I think we all did/do.

I knwo it probably doesnt help to hear it now from someone PG but it is normal and it hurts bad....and Even at the beginning when I did get PG, I felt like an imposter and was still jealous of those who got PG easily, or for FREE( imagien that!)

So I will be honest and say no , it doesnt get better until you do get PG and even then, this journey will affect you ....

But the best thign to do is vent about it....let the others going through it help.

I would vent on here about everything and anything and I tell you , It HELPS.

Hang in there. I hoep your time is soon.
