LIF Patterns?
A few weeks back the infertility board had a whole bunch of BFPs. I remember someon commenting on it and, since I was stimming at the time, I remember hoping the streak would last.
In the last week or so, there have been a bunch of IVF BFNs and other losses in addition to a fury of questions about immune testing.
Just found it interesting and thought I'd share.

Re: LIF Patterns?
Yeah they come in waves... that always used to freak me out. If there was a BFP trend and I wasn't one of them, it made it harder to come on the board for support and have to see the "congrats to all the recent BFPs keep 'em coming!!" posts .. Maybe I was just a scrooge!

I think it's totally normal to be jealous (envious, etc whatever word you prefer) during this process. That said, I think we all are truly happy for one another at the end of the day, even if we can't find the words to say it. Plus, the BFPs give us hope :)

It freaked me out too but because i was always part of them and then always the one that had to say goodbye...

Any sad feelings in this process is never about the other person and always about the sadness you have for yourself. It doesn't mean you aren't happy for others, just that you feel sad for your own situation. After multiple failures/losses/IVFs/etc I just started to believe the treatments work for other people and not me. I'm just being honest- and it never had anything to do with not being happy for others, just a reminder that even amongst my infertility friends I was the one being left out.

I definitely understand. I don't know your whole story as I joined the site after you but I it sounds like it has been a long journey for you. After three failed cycles I am currently in the place of feeling like it wont work for me. I hope to look back at this some day and prove myself wrong ;)

That's interesting. I noticed too that a lot of the August mommies were on the infertility board.
