Hey everyone,
I'm 4-5 DPO today. Up until today I was feeling pretty happy, and not being super emotionally attached to the idea of a pregnancy this cycle. I had the "if it happens, it happens" attitude. And all of a sudden a few minutes ago I just got this intense, desperate, overwhelming desire to just have a baby of my own.
I hate that this is something you have very little control over. In my life, I'm one of those people who has a goal, goes after it, and gets it with hard work or dedication. Well, I've worked hard and I've been dedicated, but there's really nothing I can do to force that sperm to go to that egg.
And it's just heartbreaking, as I'm sure you all understand.
I go on Facebook and see all these pictures of babies, ultrasounds, posts announcing pregnancies, and it's just so much to handle. I sometimes make posts that hint at or briefly talk about my struggle with infertility. My friends and family and many co-workers know that we have been trying and have been having issues. But I just feel like I need to let it out in a more real way.
They all tell me to just "be patient" and "don't try so hard" and "it'll happen when you least expect it/stop trying" and I usually just smile and nod at them, when I want to scream at them. How do THEY know it'll happen? And excuse me but when did they become medical doctors?
I struggle on a daily basis with anger and frustration and depression. In recent years the depression had improved dramatically, but I've noticed that since about May, I've had many more depressed days. I had an AMAZING weekend this weekend, and I am now right back to feeling sad and depressed.
I just really hope it happens soon, because I feel like I'm slowly losing it.
I'm sorry this is so long, I just needed to vent.
Hugs and baby dust to you all.
