Long Term Trying To Conceive Vent Thread

On my way into the fertility clinic, I followed a woman and what must have been her SO in the doors. They were puffing away on a cigarette - which they were sharing. First of all, I don't want to smell your nasty cigarette smoke. Second, HELLO YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE TTC A BABY!!!!!
 
So unbelievably angry, I feel like punching something/someone :grr:

So the woman from down the road popped in for a drink earlier and she actually asked how ovulation had gone. I said that I wasn't getting my hopes up but that af should be due next week.

She then went on to talk about sorting out the travel systems for her pregnant daughters, told me that my old neighbours were pregnant again (yet they palm their 6 month old off on anyone they can and long story short I broke down a couple of weeks ago when I was holding him and they'd done a disappearing act and had to pass him to someone else and get away from him as quickly as I could :cry: and told me not to concentrate on getting pregnant but to focus on slimming world :wacko: I felt like telling her to leave there and then.

And then (it gets worse), when I said "if we have children I'm planning on moving the unit from the bottom of the stairs so the pram can go there" she started on "not if, WHEN, you have children". Come on, we may not have children, she doesn't know that something will magically go right for us, and hearing her say that was horrible.

I'm just sick of it. Why do I have to mind how everyone else is feeling yet no one seems to give two hoots about me :nope:
 
Pregnancy announcement from my ex...His second while I'm still trying for my first...and I just feel sorry for my DH, who's stuck with me, because maybe if he was with someone else, he wouldn't be going through all this infertility nonsense with me...

I've often thought that to myself. But you know what? Your DH loves you for who you are and I'm sure he wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

It's hard sometimes not to put so much blame on ourselves. But we need to try otherwise we'll just end up driving ourselves mad

:hugs:
 
Or when people are baby making machines.
Or people who do not want kids do hurtful things.
 
Also growing up I watched so many birth type shows, and loved watching them. As in waiting for when it was my turn. Now ttc , I can't even have my own biological child. Plus I hd a failed IVF with donor so far.

I can't even watch baby shows now, and it's hrd even talking about it, or being round friends who re pregnant.

Your post caught my eye, don't say that girl! I understand how you feel because I think similar things to myself at times...but your DH loves you! You've been together for this long and i'm sure he's supportive. Keep your head up, lady! I know it sucks sometimes.
 
Cd2, af is absolutely killing me seeing as it's been so long (5 months) since my last one. And I'm getting pictures sent to me from a pregnant 17 year old of what pram system she's chosen. Add to that her mum is going about her pregnancy and her sister's pregnancy. I feel like I'm about to crack up :cry:
 
Why does it seem so easy for others. Just seen on FB that a friend is pregnant. She's the same age as me... has been seeing the guy less time than we've been married and a lot less time than we've been trying. What makes it harder is that she must have conceived while we were going through our 2nd ivf cycle which failed. So instead of us announcing our news at the end of the month when she is visiting us we need to put a happy face on for her and her other half. Life sucks.
 
Went to pick up photos of hubby when he was a kid.... to put up for his 50th birthday later this month... made me think what our kid might have looked like if we had been successful.
 
I am so sick of people complaining about their babies on FB. Stop complaining. I would love to have your problems.
 
Why do people feel its okay to ask you things about why you don't have kids yet, or when you are planning to have them, in casual conversation, like its any of their business anyway?!

Today another coworker and I were talking about her 10th wedding anniversary and she asked me about mine, I said our 4 year anniversary was next week and she responded with "You have been married that long and you haven't had any kids yet? Don't you want children?" She has no idea how insensitive that is. I wish I had the sones to just yell back 'that's none of your business' but I just half smiled and said "That is in the plan eventually" and then I change the subject back to her so she will move on. Luckily, is really easy to get people to gush about themselves and then they forget about judging you for a while. But I am still thinking about it and will be all day.
 
My petty vent for the day: It sucks when you read a cheesy romance novel that you've read before and enjoy, and then getting to the end and realizing that it ends with the heroine getting pregnant and the family living happily ever after and then you can't even enjoy the happy ending because you just get sad. *sigh*

Also, seeing BFP posts, with pictures, where you don't expect them. I now appreciate the forum rules more than ever.
 
Oh, I hate that. Surprise BFP pics on fb are bad, but surprise BFP pics on BnB where you're not expecting it just sucks.
 
So sick of this lttc. Surely over 3 years is enough. I'm turning into a bitter, miserable cow. X
