Long Term Trying To Conceive Vent Thread

[Irish_eyes]

Chefamy1122, that was just mean in everyway. At least this person didn't know I like the name and DH was too fussed in it but I was hoping to talk him around if I was lucky enough to fall pg.

Why does DH always have a cold when I'm ovulating. It's a conspiracy!

The name thing happened to me. I shared with my former friend the name for a girl if we had one. She got pregnant and stole my name! And when I mentioned it she said "well youre not pregnant!"

Such a painful moment. Sorry you all had to go through it.

I have to say though I never mentioned I liked the name to them so they were not to know. But I also told another girl that used to work with me another name that both DH and I agreed on and of course when she fell pregnant, had a wee girl and call her that name. Although I don't see her anymore but it's the principle so from now on I am keeping quiet on names I like as I had also someone else do this with one of the boys names we picked.

My DH and I have two girl names and one boy name picked out. I watched one of my old co-workers take the boy name her sister had picked out. Her sister already had two girls and had really wanted a boy. I was very shocked that this woman would do this to her own sister. I couldn't imagine sharing a name choice with a friend of mine and then having them use it. That would be very heartbreaking. I share my name choices openly with people who have kids or are also trying just for conversation. I may decide to stop doing that.
I am sorry you all had to suffer this way.
I wish that we could all just get pregnant right now!! Waiting sucks!

Whoever said "patience is a virtue" never struggled with infertility.

Why can't a day go by without me seeing a pregnant woman! They are everywhere.... why is it so hard for some of us...

Hey exwife, i hate you!!!!!!! You're ruining my life!! And you always seem to pull your sh*% when i am supposed to ovulate, so you keep my stress levels through the roof!!! I am so glad that you got your tubes burnt because you're a horrible mother, a piss-poor excuse for a "wife", and a giant pain in my rear!!!! I cannot believe that they dropped the harassment charges on you, and i cannot believe that now you're even more insane - this last week has made us decide to sell our flippin house because you are insane - stay up your husbands butt and leave me and my marriage alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um yes this drives me crazy too. I always want to write something snarky but I don't want to seem mean.... But why are you asking a bunch of women who've never seen a positive test and how would we know what preg symptoms feel like? Want to ask us about any manner of fertility treatments or medications go for it but I wouldn't go to the LTTTC section for expert advice on pregnancy tests and symptoms.

Sorry I was looking in the TWW section... was suggesting the we add a TWW section to the LTTTC so that we can avoid seeing the posts by people trying for such a short period getting results... Great for them... just not great being reminded how much of a failure I am!

I think I am going to give up symptom spotting!

Ah I gotcha. I haven't looked in there in ages. I was talking about the random ppl that pop up in LTTTC asking if we think they're preg. Asking the wrong ppl! Lol!

okay i am so glad i was directed here, i was about to go nuts in ttc #1 with all the crying about it taking so long after only 2 months. so my mom had endometriosis and it took two years to get me and she had to have stuff burned off to get me and it took another two years to get my sister and she also had to get stuff burned off. so its now past two years for me and hubby i just had hsg done it was not that painful at all but i have horrible cramps during af, so i might have a high pain tolerance. i have over two weeks til my next af, and i keep getting preggo symptoms but i am refusing to get excited. im so irritated by my doc one visit she says we will put you on metformin and then the next she says your so young we will just wait and see if you can do it naturally. i keep trying to ask for her to test me for endo but its like pulling teeth. she also keeps saying i have insulin resistance and i should stop eating sweets, okay one you think you would put me on medication for that two i dont eat sweets and three you ran that blood test over a year ago things have most likely changed. i really dont want to go to my mom gyno i think its weird but if he helped her get pregnant i guess its worth a try. this is just so heart breaking we just started telling friends about our lttc and no one is supportive everyone says we should wait, my sister the only family that knows we are trying thinks its hilarious to say im infertile and jokes about to my mom and i just pray my mom can see how painful this is for me its honestly the only thing ive ever want. its not like im that young i know it sounds bad but we started ttc when i was 16 right before im 17 birthday but we knew we were getting married and loved each other, and sure we dint look ready but i wouldve done anything to make us ready now looking at my 19 birthday soon all i can see is how ready we now are and we still arent pregnant. and ive had my share of i dont want to call them pregnancy scares but evil tricks from my body going over two months without a period having all the symptoms and gaining weight this happens every few months. i almost have to beat my self into realizing im not pregnant and try to lose the weight ive gained 30 lbs since we started trying im still not overweight but that all the doctors say lose weight (my normal doctor told me my ingrown toe nails would be fixed if i lost weight are you kidding me) i understand i need to lose weight but its kind of hard when you can barely get out of bed do to your depression. ugh im ending my rant

 

[chefamy1122]

Rant of the day- I am so sick of all the "suggested posts" on Facebook. All I have been getting lately is baby/pregnancy/parenting related ones. Gee Facebook, rub a little more salt in that wound!

CD1 Cycle 15 GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AllIwant_86]

Oh YESS ....the crazy FB post and timer along with every other woman you pass on the street.....looks like its happening to everyone but me ;( I used to think it was soo easy to get preggers but not for me. I'm scared and feel so alone. I don't know what I would do if I ever found out I couldn't conceive

 

[Regalpeas]

Im just so sick of waiting!

This morning was a doozie...I opened up facebook to see: 3 pregnancy announcements, 2 pregnancy photoshoots posted, 2 baby's sex announcements, and a friend's daily status update about pregnancy.

If I wasn't feeling left out before, I sure am now. I'm happy for them, I just wish I could get in on the joy of being pregnant.

I hear ya. My DH and I were shopping in a tiny shop and there were two very pregnant women shopping. UGH!! Three of my friends just had babies, two more are pregnant and all around me others are announcing "accidental" pregnancies. Really?? I agree that I am happy for them, but I wish I could join in those daily updates and pregnancy talks.

My 19 year old stepdaughter has a couple of girlfriends (20 and 21) who are dating and planning on marriage and family. One is planning a random, spur of the moment wedding and the other is waiting and waiting for her boyfriend to propose. My stepdaughter announced that they both want babies right away. I told her teasingly that if they get pregnant before me, I would punch them both. LOL. She laughed hysterically.

But I have to admit if they get pregnant right away, I will be devastated. Is that fair of me? Am I wrong to feel that way?? Why is it so hard??

started a "infertile mertle club" with my fav ladies at work that are in the same boat......working with mostly women preggo announcements are a daily basis.....just enjoyed ginger martinis over lunch and great convo NOT revolving around kids, breastfeeding ect which is hard to come by in the 30 something age group....so thankful to have these ladies to vent to in person
not so much of a vent but an affirmation for us ladies struggling here....so many of our peers around us struggle too ...be open and honest and youll find support
