Long Term Trying To Conceive Vent Thread

[skimomma]

Coworker's wife is 3 months pregnant after trying for...you guessed it, 3 months. I'm so hurt (?) and angry I could cry (I think I will when I'm off work!). I'm glad another coworker gossiped this to me so that I can have my poker face on tomorrow when the news is officially shared. @#*!

Really really annoyed at reading threads about the injustice of ttc for two months and not being pregnant yet, while asking if the paint line means a positive test. Like F bomb you b word!

I totally know what you mean,they get under my skin as well. The "it's been 4 months, can't take it anymore" posts.

Rubbish day.
AF turned up today in the middle of the morning, with me stainding in front of 30 teens....do I want to cry?- yes Do I want to teach photosynthesis to year 10? nope.
Get to go home and explain my failure to OH then treat myself to an hour of 'One born every minute' with women having babies left right and centre THEN I put on some other programme following couples have babies.
Why do I do this? Why are these programmes on now? Rubbish.

Trying to move is turning in to a nightmare, we've been called a "childless couple" several times in the last week, even by the bank! I was speaking to a landlord who asked if we had children and actually replied "oh that's a shame" when I said no!! It took everything to not break down right there in front of him.

Not had anything to rant about in a while... however...

Jealousy is a terrible emotion... my friend has just announced on fb she is expecting baby number 5 with her new partner of a year... she has 2 18 & 16 with one guy, 2 6 & 5 with another and now she is expecting again with her current boyfriend, she lives on benefits, hasn't worked in about 10 years.... Why can i not just be happy for her?? I can't even bring myself to post congrats on her post.... This week has gone from bad to worse

2 kids, well not kids anymore, who were in youth group I helped with, and now a cousin, all posting pregnancies on fb. Me, just about 30 with azoo husband. No wonder I feel like randomly crying all the time.

Feel like I am banging my head against a wall. Keep going round in circles.

Someone posting a thread about how other people should realise that it'll happen when it's meant to happen and people shouldn't give up hope... I think it was intended to be a positive message to others but it's just really irked me! Incredibly annoying advice from someone who was TTC for only four months, no matter how well-intentioned!! Grrr!!

Yes, I am far too tetchy nowadays!

Well that's the hubby away for another 4 months! All I can think about is ' well that's another 4 eggs down the drain' !! When he gets back it will be nearly 4 years since starting ttc! Time to seriously look into Ivf clinics in the area!

On a work trip, out for a meal, everyone exchanging oh I have X boys, X grils stories, what their plans are for easter... they asked me when the schools break up in scotland, like I am going to know!!! only I do cause my brother has kids.... but still why just assume that a married woman of a certain age would have kids, we would if we could but we can't UNEXPLAINED!!!! but you can't say that, cause it's not the done thing, what would people think??? Doesn't help when someone at the table, says they have four boys 17, 15, 7 and 3, and the last 2 where surpises!!! I WISH!!

ugh, my coworker told me another coworker is preggers. I know that. Then she asks if I got married before her. I said IDK and then she tells me yes. She's trying to subtly tell me I should be getting preggers.. Um, ya ok, that's what I've been TRYING to do.

My husband works out of town too, two weeks on, two weeks off. I've often thought about doing that clomid plus intra-uterine sperm injection thing (sorry I don't know they acronyms) since my cycles are so irregular but I'm somehow clinging to the idea that we'll conceive naturally

Just out of curiosity, what do most people consider long term TTC?

Also any tips on getting over the rage/hopeless sadness one feels when EVERYONE ELSE around you is pregnant, seemingly without even trying? I'm tempting to start asking people who ask when I'm finally going to have kids whether they get Brazilian waxes or not. All's fair right? They're asking about our vaginas uninvited, why shouldn't we ask about theirs?

I think anything over a year is long-term, because it normally only takes up to one year to get pregnant for most normal, healthy couples. But that's just my opinion.

Also, I think it's a great idea to ask about the status of their pubic hair. But honestly, sorry, I have no tips on how to get over rage, as anger is an emotion that I constantly feel when looking at or talking to or seeing pregnant woman.

OK So Vent .....
I am so f'ing Peed off at people just joining the site to post a thread about how they have been trying since they have been married one minute ago and now have all these symptoms 7dpo, they get eveyone to give them advised and what not only to post a picture of a postive pregnancy test 12 hours later!
Seriously you needed support TO WAIT FOR YOUR MORNING PEE? REALLY, THAT IS WHAT YOU NEEDED, YOU COULDNT HAVE PISSED ON A STICK AND JUST WENT RIGHT INTO THE PREGNANCY FORUM?

ok i REALLY need to stay away from the TWW and the TTC#1 thread because I am going crazy having no symptoms at the same dpo as this girl and I have been trying for awhile, and if I dont get preggers this month am going in for a lap next month. AHAHAHAHAAHHHHHHHHHH
thank you for the vent, I appreciate it.

 

[PinkPeony]

I haven't touched those threads with a ten foot pole in about a year and that is precisely why.

 

[Myshelsong]

I go through periods of not being on the site at all then jumping right on and doing everything. I feel I need to stay away from everything not ltttc
