Hi,
I have been away from the board for few months. Just trying to figure things out. I've been trying very long and hopefully will have my first IVF soon.
Normally I am pretty easy going person, I can take pressure and handle with grace and calm. But last week I think I broke down. I never feel that way. It hurt so much and I am still trying to think that I over react.
Here the story, I will be 40 in March. My best friend also trying, she just married about 1.5 years and 32 years old. She sounds like she will be having trouble getting pregnant, I said that's not necessarily because she not even trying hard enough. Don't plan her BD, no OPK...so I assumed that's not a serious trying, just planning to have family.
So she asked me to recommend my Obygyn and fertility Dr. and she suppose to have her first appt on Tuesday last week, she kept asking all the tips and stuff to get pregnant, and on Monday afternoon, she asked me if my Obgyn do delivery also, I said yes. But not until I go on and on about how to start planning seriously, she said "By the way, I tested yesterday and got positive". So rather than have her appt for fertility, she went for check up and delivery appt. I was so upset and broke down, but I still be nice to her, replying her email and such. She asked me for lunch and I agreed, but all the times she kept touching her belly and said, owh I got cramp, is that normal? And entire time we talked, all she talked about about her pregnancy. I hope she feel my pain and not to talk too much about it. I don't blame her to be so excited, and I am one of her closest friend, but I hope she will be more sensitive. When I got home, I cried and I got sick this week, I think due to stress. And again today she FB me asking is it normal not to have morning sickness? Again, I feel she not sensitive enough about it, but she is my friend.
But may be I just should be happy for her, even in my heart I always wonder why it's not me.
Sorry for the long ranting.
