Trying To Conceive #1 Only Vent Thread

[VP1228]

Wow a radio station is making it seem like getting pregnant is easy and you will need to BD like crazy. I mean what if you don' t ovulate in the time frame that the contest is in?. I lose my cool so much when people act insensitive when I say I have been actively trying for almost 2 years. I think it is a dumb contest because you will be getting pregnant just to get money and free baby stuff. It's suppose to be intimate and filled with joy and love not a contest. IDK maybe I am overreacting but when you have been trying so long and others don't consider that not all people young or older can conceive easily. just kind of venting because i am at my breaking point.

I scolded him right after the second comment but since we were at our friends house I didn't want to start a fight. He wants a baby more than anything and so do I but we've been having some issue lately and I don't know anymore. I've started going to counseling and he's come with me once but we didn't really accomplish anything. He says he will come back with me to work on things so hopefully he's telling the truth and we can improve our marriage and keep TTC

Fingers crossed for you hun.

A couple we know that's been trying for three months announced their BFP. DH just told me. Not mad or anything because they're great people and I'm glad they didn't have to suffer and go through hell. But there's still a part of me that's a little gutted. Even though I'm going through issues right now I still want to be a mom more than anything but I feel selfish to still be TTC during all this

I just hate the thought that I probably still won't have my BFP by the time their baby is born. I just know I won't.

Feeling very jealous today of anyone in the world who has ever got a BFP at 10dpo....and jealous of all those who have never had problems or who haven't had to try.
Feeling angry and ashamed that I feel this way when I haven't been at this that long!
Feeling scared that I haven't been at this long and I feel this way how the hell am I going to cope of this continues...? And then angry that stressing about it isn't helping *sigh* pathetic day today!! Grr

 

[ashntony]

Thinking that my pm's is causing most of my anger today.... just sick of playing the waiting game.... super tiredof seeing BFP announcements... on top of that my dh and i will be doing a career change. (Possibly) and he wants us to wait on ttc... so that way I will be covered with a medical leave... but i dnt want to wait.... i am sick of waiting. I may convince him to keep on trying...

Sooo, our local radio station is throwing a contest...MAKE ME A MOM.
5 couples sign up, first couple to conceive gets $15k and a bunch of baby stuff.

I have no words.

Is it a race to determine who's reproductive organs work the fastest or are they offering money to help out with fertility cost? If it's the first, shame on them!

It's the first. Disgusting. Instead of helping couples pay for fertility treatments, it's just a race who ever gets 'knocked up' the first. They make you come in to the station for daily pregnancy tests....

That's ridic... Um don't they know you normally don't get a positive til after your missed period o.o that really disgusts me *I don't want to live on this planet anymore*.... Instead of a contest to see who gets preg first why don't they have some sort of contest to win fertility help or somethin

 

[wellsk]

How many couples will apply just in order to get the money?! The prize should be the pregnancy and the baby at the end of it. Not 15K.

How will the child feel knowing he/she was concieved as part of a game, not because mummy and daddy loved and wanted them.

 

[mapletulip]

Well, if it makes you feel better, this radio station is known for trashy contests....they gave away a breast enlargement last year....they'll do anything for publicity. Too bad it's over the back of us honest couples who are struggling and can't just 'win a pregnancy race'. And I agree...how many people will do this for the money?

 

[Ladybuggz]

Another FB pregnancy announcement...need I say more?

 

[Jett55]

So my mom got both my sisters presents for mothers day :/ & I was like mom am I not special just because I'm not a mom yet & she had planned to get me something too so I don't feel left out at least I don't have to feel completely blah on mothers day now

 

[tamithomas]

Mothers day coming up..lots of "share if you love your daughter, being a mother is the best job in the world, high five for awesome moms" posts going around. I want to curl up into a ball, down a whole package of Nutella and cry.

 

[VP1228]

I have already started crying because every commercial I see has a baby in it. I am starting to think that everything and everyone around me is trying to make me more depressed and sad. I saw a girl that looked like she was 16 with a 2 year old and a newborn and I just sat in my car and cried I know very selfish of me to be so upset

 

[eyoung1105]

What is so messed up about biology that it allows my 17 year old niece to get pregnant long before she is mature enough to be a mom, while I—who waited until I was through graduate school, married, had a stable income, savings, and bought a house—cannot seem to get pregnant? Why is our fertility so much better at an age when most people aren't yet ready to have children?

I completly feel the same way. My Cousin just found out last month or so that she was 5-6 months prego. She is so unstable, cant hold a job, moves around to EVERYWHERE. Has so many BF's and get this Her BD is in another state and they dont even get along. I am not happy for her.

While on the other hand My DH and I have been married for 4 yrs, stable jobs and have a steady income. And still waiting for a BFP.

Lionchild...Good luck to you

 

[VP1228]

Wow he is in another state and they don't get along. Has she said anything about what is going to happen after the baby is here?

 

[tamithomas]

Lots of cramps, headache but no af yet. I'll be SO pissed if it's saving itself for Sunday. That would be life's cruelest joke. Bad enough I'll have AF on Sunday, would be even worse if it starts on Sunday.

 

[VP1228]

that would really suck. I am so not ready to see AF again. I am ovulating today and I only BD sunday so I really think I am out this month. So I will be seeing her in 2 weeks

 

[AlyCon]

So today on the FB page for the army wives at our base a girl posted that she was moving here soon and another girl commented that she was too. So trying to be friendly I told them both they could add me as a friend. Well they did and guess what... I looked on their profiles and THEY'RE BOTH PREGNANT! So pretty much as soon as I added them I hid them from my newsfeed! I feel like a jerk for it too because they both seem like nice girls and I know how hard it is to make friends here but I just can't do it. I already have one friend here that's due this summer I can't handle anymore right now.

And to make things worse one of my closest friends who is in no position to have a baby is now 30 weeks and I'm dreading the day she posts those first pictures of her baby. It's going to be the hardest one to deal with so far. But of course I'll be typing congratulations with a face full of tears, which seems to be all I do these days.

 

[tamithomas]

Still no AF. Convinced this is some sort of freaking joke from mother nature. on top of it our roof decided a leak would be awesome in our living room so not even eyes open yet and I had to clean a huge puddle of water. Definitely not my weekend.

 

[Ayjay]

Lionchild I know *exactly* where you are coming from.
