I babysat my friend's 7 month old today

[Babydustx3]

And I couldn't help but keep looking across the hall at the room that would be our nursery and just got pretty upset. And then, I was on Facebook and saw this girl's status/drama using her unborn child as a pawn in her relationship and for attention already. She was threatening to get an abortion and all this other stuff. Like, really?

Ughhhh. Facebook is a nightmare isn't it? The steady stream of ultrasound pics and bump pics then cute baby pics.... Everytime I check it's gut wrenching. I don't have anyone on there talking about abortion tho... That really is too much.

 

[Babydustx3]

(I'm pretty sure I posted this in the wrong section, woopsie) But yes! Facebook is my least favorite website since we've been TTC. Ugh, just horrible.

 

[PinkPeony]

well hope you get to fill that room soon and blast fb with all your pics!! Lol!
Btw had a peak at your chart - we're the same cycle day! GL

 

[Babydustx3]

Aw thank you, hope you get to fill yours as well How long are your cycles love?

 

[PinkPeony]

About 26 days usually. Trying to lengthen them with B6 and a bunch of other herbal stuff. Feeling very cautiously optimistic about this month. Trying to accept that it's going to happen when it happens. That's the mantra this cycle.

since learning how horrible it is seeing other people announce pregnancies on facebook when you yourself aren't, this time around i'm not writing anything on facebook, maybe six months down the track photos of me obviously pregnant can show up but i know there are women on my fb that have been TTC since before my first it would be cruel to flash my second in their face.

That's really sweet of you to think of the ladies TTC, but I would never ask for someone not to share their news, you know? Yea I get jealous (lol) but I am truly happy for them, just bitter for myself at first glance, you know?

I get crazy jealous, bitter and sad it's not me!! with my first i was the same and got so depressed as soon as i saw a pregnancy on facebook, i assumed once i was TTC # 2 that it would be different because i already had one, but no... still just as painful. I honestly wish they didn't share it with me. I don't want to read it and i don't want to see it at all. Although it's funny i get so excited for women when they are pregnant with their first and am truly hsppy for them but if someone on fb is pregnant with their second i'm miserable for days!!!

It was the same reason i didn't make a TTC #2 journal until my 6th cycle. I'm friends with some really lovely women on here who i was TTC #1 with and they still haven't conceived number 1 and here i am TTC #2. How horrible that must be for them. Being friends i know they'd be happy for me but i also know they'd get that little pang of sadness too.

Love love love

I just wanted to ask, do people develop jealousy after they have been ttc for a long period of time or does it usually happen right from the beginning?

I guess it depends on the person. I'm not "jealous" like a nasty, mean person. I'm more along the lines of self-pitty and sad and I would say that's what a lot of TTCers fall under. It just depends on whether you look at the glass half empty or glass half full.

your right baby dust it really is more of a self pity than anything. I am genunily happy for those people! i really am. I just wish they didn't shove it in my face

As for me i found other's getting pregnant painful from day 1. But if you not like that, that's fantastic you have a more calm and balanced emotional disposition than i do.

I'm a pro at self-pitty sadly. But I try not to show it; it's more internal I guess. =/

For me it took a while. It's when I realized I wasn't going to be one of those ppl that gets knocked up right away and that I'm in this for the long hawl.... an indefinite amount of time at this point.... It just stings when you see that stuff.
