Long Term Trying To Conceive Vent Thread

[Teach2]

First I was having a lovely conversation at work about my friends house with her mum, lots of sisters and her dad being the only male. Someone else chimes in with "Yeah I know how that feels The only other male I have is my grandson but there's another on the way she's 3 months gone". Then the whole when are you having a baby chat. Then went to get painkillers because AF is trying to kill me!On the same aisle is the baby stuff and vitamins so I saw pregnancy vitamins, a beautiful baby whose mum was looking at dummies and a heavily pregnant woman SIGH!

I need to stay the hell out of the "Trying to Conceive" forum, because clearly that place is depressing. Why do women jump on a forum complaining about not being pregnant after only trying one month? And then the second month acting like it is such a shock they're pregnant because they 'thought something was wrong' and then don't shut the hell up about their BFP.

I think my sore boobs are putting me in a horrible mood because I just got really crabby after reading all that. I need to just stay over here in the LTTTC and leave the 2-cycle try-ers to themselves. *grumble* lol

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!

Don't forget all those gushy poems aimed at mothers that end in ...if you have a son/daughter share with everyone.

 

[Godzuki]

They really annoy me too Hope3. And why does fb want to suggest that I go to boot camp over 30 miles away!

My rant atm is having lots of possibly preggers feelings and then af turning up just at the same time that I get a horrid sore throat bug.

Happy 3 year LTTTC anniversary to me

I think I'll buy myself a chocolate cake later.

That sounds like a great idea... ideally a massive one, and using your hands and fists to grab and scoff (that's what I'd do anyway!)

Why do pregnant women have to be so bitchy and whingy sometimes?! You're pregnant, you're the lucky ones! Recently I saw someone complain because they fell pregnant too quickly!

I'm here ready to chop my right arm off in return for a LO, and you're there complaining that you fell pregnant to quickly?! Get over yourself and think of others who are a damn sight less fortunate than you!

And one of the 2 main reasons I deactivated my fb temporarily- announcements of first time parents or now, more common- " I'm gonna be a big bro/sis" announcements. :/ and also just overall baby updates in my newsfeed. I can't delete everyone that has a kid; so until I'm in that boat I'm deactivated.

I just love how people give advice to the infertile when they already have one baby and only tried for this pregnancy for three months.

[wellsk]

Oh my god fizzy, this is like my favourite thing ever!

I've had so many women do that to me... and it's always obvious advice or the absolute cracker of a classic; 'why don't you just adopt?!'...

'Hello, is that social services? I'd like a newborn baby with brown eyes and dark hair please, do you have any in stock?'
'You do? Amazing, I'll be over in 20 minutes to collect!'

 

[J_Lynn]

Ohhh so true. Sometimes I'm really sarcastic and say, "Oh - that's such a good idea! I keep forgetting about the the BabyMart that opened in town! How silly of me!"

 

[wellsk]

Those BabyMarts eh? Everywhere nowadays

Or the women who insist that going through fertility treatment is not a 'right' or is 'selfish', yet has children already and only took a month to concieve, so they actually have no clue what they're talking about?! :doh:

I always say that the ones with the most to say about infertility are the ones who haven't been through it

Adoption isn't that easy anyway. Some adoption services charge up to $50,000. Some of those want 5,000-10,000 right off the bat. Besides, if I have any hope of having babies with my husband I want to try!

My favorite is when people who have one kid and never want more tell me, "Just relax and stop trying. It will happen right away."

Sometimes I want to sit down with them and make them listen to all that me and other women go through to have children of their own. They would be sitting for hours.

Seeing the Target baby commercial makes me cry. Babies, babies, babies, and then the tagline..."The adventure begins here."

 

[mapletulip]

Stop telling me to relax and 'not focus on it so much'. And stop complaining about how hard it is to have kids and have no life anymore. Finally, can everyone please stop conceiving in 1-2 months or getting pg after 1 time of 'russian roulette'?

Oh, and mother in law...stop analyzing my pictures on FB and then telling me you thought I was pg 'because my face looked fuller'.

We got the keys to our new home today, it was so hard not to picture the spare room as a nursery.

 

[nobump]

No gran, still not pregnant, yes just turned 38... it might not happen at all...

I know you have just turned 90... but can you please stop asking me this every time you see me! You have got lots of great grand children all ready from my brother and cousins... If it happens for us it will happen if not... then it wont...

Was v glad when husbands SA turned out normal last year but now worried that his attitude to it was like taking an exam. He was v good and didn't drink just before the SA but doesn't seem to care about how much he drinks now even though I've said my acupuncturist says he shouldn't be binge drinking. Now I feel like I'm the only one trying to make any difference. He doesn't drink much but drinks a lot when he does.

This is the first time I've vented in this forum and hope I've got the right forum. I'm 42 been with my husband for 10 years. Last we decided to actively ttc, I know that seems odd at my age but sometimes life just gets in the way. Turns out I had fibroids, I've two surgeries to remove them and a recent scan shows one has grown back. So we wait watch and then decide what to do. Now here's my vent at a girls night out, with three friends who have kids and know my story, I left early as I couldn't stand hearing about their gorgeous kids. Thank god I'm not drinking these days so I could hop in the car and leave! Love the friends to death but seriously after a couple of drinks peo

 

[KiwiInSydney]

Oops accidentally pushed send, what I was going to say was people can be so insensitive after a couple of drinks. Or am I being overly sensitive?

 

[KiwiInSydney]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who cries at baby focused ads on TV. We have the series 'One born every minute' showing on cable here in Australia. Makes me cry everytime.
