Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

If I have to see one more scan pic on Facebook it is going to be my undoing!!!!!! WHY WHY WHY do people do that. I had one of those "if the tree falls in the forest" thoughts yesterday...."if there was no Facebook, would we feel as bad about TTC?"

I suspect the answer is no.

SOOOOO FRUSTRATED.

Totally agree with you. I know how ecstatic I will be when I finally have one of my own, but with what I'm feeling now, I have made a vow to myself to be sensitive to others who may be in the same boat and NOT post pics all day long.

I don't understand why people feel the need to document their child's life even before they are born. When did it stop being something private that should be shared with people in reality? Why must every moment of that person's life be shown-off on the internet for everyone to see without their consent? Obviously they can't give their consent yet, but to them, they're a new person in the world who is too busy learning how to hold their head up, talk, walk or eat with a spoon to care about if people think they are cute or who has the latest high score on Candy Crush. When did Facebook become more important than experiencing real life?

I'm a hypocrite, I know. I've posted pics of things that normally people wouldn't care about or mentioned things that could just be shared in a private message or discussed face-to-face. I know that I will probably continue to post said things, but I also know that reality shouldn't be forgotten and should be enjoyed and experienced how it was before social networking websites. Every joy and heartache. If my body finally proves me wrong one day, I will hopefully share it with close friends and family and leave it at that. I don't need everyone knowing my business. At least on here I can talk to people without them knowing me.

My vent of the day: why is it whenever we are at the inlaws and by BIL's wife is here I feel so inferior?! Even our dogs get treated differently by them! When we are here alone our puppy gets so much love and attention but as soon as their d

 

[Boozlebub]

Sorry wrong button pressed! As soon as their dog is here our dog gets shunned most of the time! I hate to think what it will be like when our first baby will come along (hopefully soon!) they have a little boy who is adorable but I always feel left out! When it is just my BIL's wife and I alone for example we get on fine! Aargh I am so annoyed it always has to be like this?!

Very good point actually. Although personally..I prefer it to be ttc during the times of Facebook then before that because before Facebook everything was by phone or in person where you don't have the hide option. However in person at least they didn't feel inclined to do the most useless complaining like morning sickness or how ungreatful they are due to it being so easy access online, not to mention in person they knew people wanted to only see one ultrasound after that it became annoying. Shrugs, both sides have their downfalls.

 

[tamithomas]

This is how I feel when people post 50 pictures from their one ultrasound or 200 pics a month of their newborn:

[pinkflowers]

Ok that is HILARIOUS!!!!!! Omg...and just before this I'd logged onto FB and seen not one but TWO separate scan posts.

But thanks for the laugh - it is so damn true! I hear what you are saying about before FB but then as you say, before it was around we didn't have to hear about all the moaning about the fact that they are pregnant.

Onwards and upwards!

AF is here.

After 6 years of NTNP and 2 cycles of serious TTC, I've had it with seeing a BFN.

 

[tamithomas]

my vent of the day: I am by no means a fan of Kim Kardashian, but for Pete's sake could paparazzi get off of her back? As well as everyone making fun of her for gaining weight? News flash..she's pregnant! What happens during pregnancy? Weight gain. No wonder millions of women suffer from body image problems. People sicken me.

 

[kmichelle]

I am only in my first month of TTC, but I am so frustrated with the OPK's already. I have gotten a flashing smiley face 8 days in a row, no solid smiley in sight! I now feel like that flashing smiley face is like a clown that is laughing at me and I just want to punch it in the nose! LOL jusk kidding, but seriously, I always knew that I might have trouble conceiving but I think it's going to take a lot more effort on my part than I ever imagined! Rant over...

 

[Ladybuggz]

Seriously, how damn hard is it to get pregnant? It's something my body should just be able to do. Fed up of reading all these statistics, 'most couples get pregnant within the first six months, blah blah blah'. Clearly that's not the case with me, never even had a hint of a positive test.

 

[Ladybuggz]

...and yes, I'm sat here crying reading BFP annoucements from ladies who fell pregnant within the first 2 months. I'm so pathetic

 

[wellsk]

Ladybuggz
Don't beat yourself up about reading stuff like that. I think it's quite common, I'm always nosing through the first tri boards, jealous as anything!

Our babies will be extra special to us and appreciated as we'll have known what it's like to have waited and given anything to have them

 

[Ladybuggz]

Thanks Wellsk! I'm so glad I've found this site, all you ladies are so supportive. I guess, in a way, I'm angry and dissapointed at myself for even feeling jealous. I'm not a jealous person, but I feel like I'm becoming some evil bitter crone lately! I'm trying to remind myself of any positives for not being pregnant, but they all seem so superficial. The worst part is that I actually have alot of other things to be focussing on right now. I've got 3 weeks left until my degree finishes; I have so much work to be getting on with!

 

[wellsk]

Sweet, I am right there with you! I finish my final exams on Saturday, but getting pregnant is always at the forefront of my mind over that! I wish I could switch it off to get some peace and concentration

I'm completely like you too, I would've never considered myself jealous. I've always been the kind and empathetic one, but right now I'm so angry and feel like it's so unjust that people in worser conditions that me can get pregnant, or can't/won't give the child enough love, attention, care etc. But not me!

Myself and DH will be great parents, I know it! I just wish life would give us an opportunity!

It will happen for the both of us someday soon though

 

[Ladybuggz]

Wellsk! It sucks doesn't it? I've spent my whole degree distracted by babies! Hope my grade won't be affected too much! It must be great knowing that you finish soon, do you have many exams? I've mainly got coursework; with one presentation and one statistics exam. I'm going to be so happy once this degree is over, I'm a real stress head and always push myself so hard. Be great to enjoy the summer! I bet we'll get pregnant after our courses!
I comfort myself knowing that we're going to love our babies so much. The wait will make our babies that much more special!

 

[wellsk]

I've got two exams to do, as my presentations, courseworks and dissertation are already done. I just hate the fact I cannot concentrate, boo!

I hope we do get pregnant soon! I'm a stress head as well when it comes to uni, but myself and DH also have fertility issues, so I doubt very much the 'relaxing' will help.

Are you intending to do postgrad?

 

[Ladybuggz]

Honestly, I feel that, for now, I'm done with education. If my grades are good, then I might consider postgrad in the future but for now, I just want to work and earn some money. I actually find working far more relaxing than uni. Atleast that, in most cases, once the shift is over that's it. With uni I'm constantly stressing, I feel like the coursework and exams just hang over my head till there over. Are you thinking about postgrad?

Just noticed that your going on holiday soon too! Hubs and I are thinking about a nice break abroad. Is this the first time you're going to Orlando? We've only ever been to Italy (honeymoon) so we're thinking about somewhere different this year ^.^
