Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

My vent today as well, Why the heck am I about to watch 'what to expect when expecting'....why am I doing this to myself? Oh right, I think it will give me positive thoughts about pregnancy.... and not the weepy snotty mess that will be consuming frozen yogurt later as 'therapy food'..... *sigh* I never learn. (guess that's a pre event vent)

i do the same with: bringing home baby, babys first day, a baby story, one born every minute, make room for multiples, i didnt know i was pregnant, 16 & pregnant, teen mom, and high school moms. *sigh* i guess the only logical reason would be that apparently i hate myself :cry:

:hugs::hugs::hugs:

Same here, I watch every single one of those shows and now I've added Secretly Pregnant and Labor of Love. I have no idea why I do it. Especially since the ones like secretly pregnant and high school moms are so depressing because the women don't want the baby and are in really bad financial and emotional situations. I need to start watching happier shows.
 
To everyone who tells me to adopt -- you're stupid!! It's not like I can complete an application and go pick up a child.

This one is driving me crazy lately. I actually do want to adopt eventually but I also want to experience pregnancy. And like you said, it's not I can just decide we're going to adopt and boom the next day we get a baby. It's a really long process and sometimes it doesn't work.
 
My partner and I have been TTC for 11 months now. I had an appointment this morning, to discuss possible fertility issues, with a specialist, as prior to taking prevara last month, I hadn't had my AF in 7 months. I don't know what I was expecting this morning, but I wasn't expecting to be told I need to stop many of my habits, and that even if I were ovulating my odds of being able to conceive are basically 25% or less. I hadn't realized I haven't been ovulating, or I would have asked to see this doctor much sooner than now. I feel so down right now, and all I want to do is call my partner and tell him about my appointment, but I don't see the point. When I told him earlier in the week about it, he told me we didn't need "help" and that we just need to try harder. I want to tell him and know that he will hug me and say we'll get through this, but I know that he's going to say something about trying harder and not get his swimmers tested like my doc. wants him to.

When I got into work, I told two of my coworkers what happened at my appointment, to try and vent in order to go on with my day. My one coworker shared her story of how she got pregnant in less than 3 months (I'm happy for her, but why would she think that would make me feel better). Thankfully, my other coworker was able to give me something to laugh about this morning, and did what she could to make me feel better.

I find myself unjustifiably angry at my sister, my coworkers who are pregnant/had a child recently, and friends who already have children. Everyone I know, who has shared their stories, saying how easy it was for them, and how their kids were 'oops' babies, or it happened the first month, etc. Why them, and not me?

I'm sure y'all can tell, I'm new here. Can anyone help me figure out all the abbreviations being used? There are a few I can't figure out and/or may use incorrectly.

Welcome, sorry you're dealing with that at work and home. I don't know why people think it's helpful to tell some who is having trouble TTC how easy it was for them to get pregnant.

Here is a link to the abbreviations being used:

I hope this doesn't offend anyone but it bums me out when someone says they conceived on their first try. Why do I have to wait and they don't?:nope:
 
(I'm pregnant and morbidly obese) so you're 5'0" 276 lbs and pregnant with your second child. How is it that I'm healthy don't eat nearly half of what do and still am not pregnant? Maybe I need to get a hamburger!

Not so much that, but I hate when you say something about waiting and someone says something like "oh we caught on our first try. Best of luck" no sympathy... Nothing

Yes this one! I dislike that I know of all these unhealthy women who were hard on their bodies just get knocked up without really trying... and those of us that are trying to be healthy seemingly take forever. :shrug:
 
I hate when people complain about being stereotyped and then turn around and exhibit the MOST STEREOTYPICAL behavior possible!!! Like seriously so you bitch and moan that "everybodys judging you" and "its not fair" and you "dont deserve this." then before we know you're doing the exact type of thing you were "unfairly criticized" for!! Seriously! get your shit together and then maybe nobody will talk bad about you :dohh::growlmad::dohh: stupid people.
 
so i started a ttc#1 thread and someone really nice joined and starts talking about her c section. and she's nice and i'm the jerk. dillema.

Oh and yeah. I'm afraid I WILL NEVER BE A MOM and it is terrifying and horrible and you people with children can not feel me on this. so sorry i sound like a psycho mean person.

and allow me to admit that i eat a bunch of crap and am grossly overweight for the first time in my life. after each of my mcs, i gained more weight instead of losing it. and i still manage to be a jealous overly judgmental jerk like i can see some of you are about the weight and sorry this is horrible but yeah, you getting to have MORE kids with your NEW partner is not TTC #1. THANKS A LOT FOR THINKING THATS SOMEHOW TTC#1. It isnt!!!!!!!!!! You are a mom. its different. what? do your previous children not count now??!??!?!? if that's how you think why do you get to be a mom and i dont??!?!? yay for you that you are so proliferative that its so important to you to make a new baby with your second life partner. CAN I GET ONE???!??!

and also
to the other woman who told me god does not want me to ttc because im not married when you are on your second marriage, screw YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to everyone whos been married multiple times - my fiance was married before. so i really am being a jerk here. there's no doubt. but that's what venting is all about right.

also, MOM, it would have been nice if you understood but you DONT
and lil sis you too. you guys suck. you suck for being judgmental toward me trying, for not understanding, for telling me im overweight so i shouldnt ttc, for telling me not to ttc cause im not rich, cause im not married, for being happy going to other people's baby showers and cooing over their babies and posting the pictures on facebook and for being happy for them and plain being part of other people's families when im not getting what i want. rwar to everyone. there.

additionally, screw yu parents for makign me feel like if i got pregnant when i was younger, it would have made me a loser. i listened to you, i waited, and wow. those girls who got pregnant young. they are happy and im miserable. thanks. i wanted my own family. i was sure it would happen someday if i made the right choices and now my chances are maybe already gone. this SUCKS.

^^^ omg. THIS!! im going through it right now. my mom keeps trying to make me feel like if i have a baby now it would completely ruin my life! but all my other friends who have babies (some who are worse off than me) seem to be really happy so im like well it cant be that bad! but she insists that i wait. little does she know im already TTC :haha: cuz my chances are already slim because of pcos, and i feel like if i waiting any longer i will my only opportunity. and im not willing to risk that!

Sorry you dont have much family support :hugs: good luck!

People suck! I hear you on how terrifying it is to be facing problems with TTC#1. I just recently found out I may have problems, and I can't imagine what's going to happen in the future.

The doctors (and people) all say that all these different things affect your ability to conceive. Truthfully, I think it's just random luck for some people. In my line of work, the clients I work with all have varying issues - drugs, smoke cigarettes, overweight, too young, too old, etc, and they don't seem to have issues. It's infuriating that they all have babies whenever (whether they want to or not), and it's so difficult for us! :hugs:

I hope you have better luck while you TTC#1 and that you find a group of people here that are more supportive of you.
 
A woman I hardly know just confided in me (through facebook PM) that she has recently found she is pregnant! of course i told her congrats and all that good stuff but I have now sunk down to a whole new level of depression :cry::cry::cry:
 
I have a vent against two types of mothers!! First, the ones who play down your fears of labour by saying things like "I had no pain relief and I was fine"- on the one hand I know they are trying to be nice and to soothe fears but it comes across a little like a competition, and also you are pooh poohing my fears when you know nothing about why I am scared or what my pain threshold is like compared to yours! We are all different.

The fears are compounded by the second type which are the ones that tell you all their blinking horror stories which leave me in a cold sweat about labour! I realise that no one can tell me what my own experience will be like, and so it is fear of the unknown but really I think people should keep their own brilliant labour or horror story out of it, as tbh neither helps! I do also realise that it is all worth it at the end, which is why I am ttc, thank you.

Also, to my body. Why give me odd symptoms all month, leading me into a fall sense of happy security, if you are just going to end up with af. Why have I bothered looking after you for months if you are going to repay me like this.

To my teeth; please stop randomly hurting at various points in the month and please don't need any work doing at the dentist today.

Omg. I would just die inside!! My best friend is also TTC and if she told me she were pregnant before i got pregnant, id be happy for her but id still be sad and feel defeated. Nevermind if it were a next-to-stranger!!! Why did she feel the need to confide in YOU of all people? Did she know u were TTC? You are so much better than me. I would have never replied. FB is a place to brag about baby.... not to tell ppl you genuinely care about. Screw her...

Lots of baby dust to you for being so supportive to someone who clearly was looking to brag.
:dust:
 
Been ttc for almost a year now and nothing!!! I am irregular and when I went to the doc she wouldn't even do anything for another 3 months even knowing that I have PCOS and I never know when I am going to get AF. So frustrating.

I agree...you are very strong. My best friend did get pregnant before and don't get me wrong but I am disappointed in myself. Best of luck to you all!!

Two words: change doctor! Especially with PCOS, you should not have to wait at all!!! Find someone who listens and CARES.

well in her defense, she lives on the base we are about to move to and was telling me about the clinics and hospitals there. so she told me about her pregnancy cuz she was explaining the different protocol and procedures concerning medical care. So even though she ruined my day, she was trying to do me a favor so i cant hate her. It still hurts though. Only because it caught me so off guard!!! like "oh this is a good restaurant, the neighbors are nice, the hospital is nearby, IM PREGNANT!!!... blah blah blah.." like gahhh why me?? :cry::cry: im just glad it was on FB and not in person cuz im horrible at hiding my dissappointment, she would have seen it all over my face. then i'd have to do my fake smile and all that.. so at least this way i could say "F*ck you!" out loud as i type "Congrats!" :haha: I just hope she doesnt try to be my friend once i get there cuz the last thing i need is a pregnant friend! and then of course im going to be the bitch for being rude to some one who has only ever been nice to me and try to help :dohh: my life.. *sigh*

and :dust: to you too M.Ellen
