Babies and Facebook

[MrsQueenV]

I love babies. I can't wait to have my first baby. But Facebook can be the most defeating place to spend your time while you are trying to conceive. All of my friends have adorable kiddos. I love spending time with all of them. But when you are crossing fingers and toes hoping that this month something will actually work, you cannot help but be jealous of their families. The fact that most of them didn't have to try or only needed a month or two of "trying" makes the thought of their family so envious. As a Christian, I try my very best to not feel this way and wait for God to choose the right time for us. It's hard to be patient. It's a hard two week wait every month. It's hard to remain positive for your significant other. Every negative test, every symptom you think you have just makes it all so difficult. Today is hard. Today started a new month of trying and testing and I'm just wishing that something will actually stick this time.

I know there's others out there feeling the same way. Just so you know, you're not alone.

I soooo feel ya.... Most of my friends have started having babies too. I also have a 9 month nephew that I adore but they only "tried" 3 months, seems so unfair sometimes. But as my husband keeps reminding me, God knows the right time and is still looking out for me even though I may not think so sometimes. Doesn't mean it's any less hard or torturous at times...

I'm with ya! It's hard. It almost hurts your feelings to be so jealous but hate to feel that way. First day of disappointment each month is the hardest. I'm actually heading out to the reproductive endocrinologist in a few to see if it looks like I ovulated at all. Super frustrating to try and try and hope and hope and then find out you weren't even ovulating! No wonder it didn't work!
But yes, Facebook can be brutal. I usually give it a little space the first few days of each cycle. It will happen when its supposed to. Remember.

I know exactly how you feel! Everyone I know right now is pregnant and it's driving me crazy! It doesn't help that people are always asking when my DH and I are going to have kids. We purposely tell people we are waiting or my DH says never to throw everyone off so when it does happen, it will be a huge surprise to everyone and to keep people from asking why we haven't conceived yet. It's so frustrating, especially the ones that catch the first month or two of 'trying'!
