Even my ob/gyn!!

Found out today my ob is preggers. My sister is ku (the first time they didn't use a condom in 8 years of marriage) so many women around me are getting pregnant lately. I am happy for them, but cant help but feel like we keep getting the short end of the stick. Thank god for the abundance of wine from our house warming party! What do you ladies do to stay sane through this process?

I try and stay positive! There are going to be a lot of women that get pregnant around me and I can't let that bother me. One woman's fertility has nothing to do with mine. It's easier said then done sometimes, but this mentality works for me.

I also have hobbies and a job that keeps my mind off TTC.

When we had been trying for my dd for almost a year my bro and sil decided to start trying, they got pregnant the same month. It was really hard on me. I cried at home with my husband. The next weekend we had dinner with them and I gave her a bag full of goodies and hugged her...then I cried all the way home. I kept reminding myself that she didnt take a baby from me..right after I found out I was pregnant and now our kids are 11 days apart!

Thanks, lady. Smile I wasn't planning to participate this month, but then there was talk of choosing a "winner" and my competitive side just couldn't resist.

Booze. Lots of booze.

And get a blog while you're at it. And a hobby. And maybe an animal. We're all in the same boat and we all deal.

Very similar thing with my SIL. But my niece is 18 days older than Kat. People get pregnant everyday. You just never really paid attention to it before.

First, I don't say stupid words like "preggers."

Second, I act like an adult and realize that their fertility has no affect on mine.

Me: 31 DH: 31. B/W: good. SA: good.
November 2012: Paratubal cyst found during U/S.
January 10, 2013: Lap removed paratubal cyst and Stage 2 Endometriosis.
January 2013: Unmedicated. P4 was 8.4. Meds recommended.
February 2013: Femara 2.5 mg and TI. P4 was 8.5. Meds will be doubled next cycle.
March 2013: Femara 5 mg and TI. P4 was over 11.
April 2013: Femara 5 mg and IUI#1. P4 was 11.4. Post wash over 40 million.
May 2013: Femara 5 mg and TI. Vacation during FW.
Everyone Welcome!

This exactly, OP. This might best piece of advice I've gotten from the bump. It's ok to be jealous. Just recognize the feeling and then let it go. 

Frankly, I've found the TTGP siggy challenge to be very entertaining this month. :) Hobbies help. Some people blog. If you drink alcohol, drink a glass of wine every now and then and do things you wouldn't be able to do if you were pregnant.

Or lurk here more. If you lurk, you would see almost the exact same post from earlier today that PP linked.

Hey there. I think we all have days where we feel the way that you are feeling now. Its important to vent, and blogging helps (or keeping a journal). Once you have a baby, you won't get a whole lot of alone time anymore, so be thankful that you still have time to spend with your husband, just the 2 of you. Don't stress out about it too much, it will happen in time. Don't get so focused on a baby that you forget to enjoy what you have. It's really hard sometimes, believe me, i was feeling just the way you are now, a couple weeks ago. Find something to occupy your time. Reading, baking, knitting, gardening, etc...it will help.

 Yes  We only know as much as others let us know.  You don't know what struggles others might have.

SO true! I am amazed by how many of these announcements follow m/c's or fertility meds when I really start talking to the moms. It's just the rare "I stopped taking the pill last night and now I am pregnant" stories that stick out in our minds.

So everyone here deserves their own little vent post/page on TTGP? OP, do you know what it means to commiserate? There was at least one other whiny "woe is me" post yesterday and since it seems so many people think their plight is unique or somehow worse than someone else's, there will probably be more today. Go commiserate there.

In all seriousness, it's not a big deal. Get a blog if you feel the urge to do this again, please.



TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycle #11 is a break cycle. Cycle #12 is a break cycle. (The break so nice, she did it twice!)

Why do some of you feel the need to be so darn rude???? You don't like "whiny" posts? THEN DON'T READ THEM. Take your negativity elsewhere because it isn't wanted here!


OP I know exactly what you mean and it does get hard. IDKY but I assumed we would get it right on the first try, silly me. And this is only the second month for me currently in my 2WW so I know I shouldn't get frustrated or upset....but I AM. What frustrates me even more is that I have wanted a baby for about two years now but hubby and I did the right thing and waited until we were married to TTC; well there are so many women I know in those two years that got KU by accident from their boyfriends.
I know exactly how you feel...and ignore the haters. They apparently have nothing better to do than rag on you and others and for that we should pitty them.

This board is no place for whining. Do it in a blog. OP is an adult and doesn't needs someone who can't spell worth a daamn to white knight for her.

Also you need to wake the fuuuuuck up if you think anything in this post is the "rudest comment ever". Not even close. Not by a longshot.

You don't like the rude responses? THEN DON'T READ THEM. Confused

Seriously, chill the fluck out. And maybe consider having a drink during the 2WW.
TTC since August 2011, Me = 39, DH = 37. CD 3 bloodwork: Normal, HSG 3/29/12: tubes clear, DH's SA 3/29/12: Everything normal. Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs.BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

Who can't spell worth a daamn?  Hunny, you need to check your spell check because my post is not the one with spelling errors.
