Facebook is not my friend anymore...

Seriously... if one more person announces that they are expecting, I just might throw my computer out the window. I just witnessed the worst facebook announcement to date. 2 girls that I used to work with (twin sisters to be exact) announced 1 minute apart from each other that they are expecting. One is due May 19th and one on May 22. It is so frustrating. I'm sure they planned to "try" at the same time.

I think at least 3 people I know announced last week that they were expecting. And 2 ex-boyfriends from years ago announced last month that they are both going to be dads. One isn't married yet, and the other got married 4 months ago.

I really do want to be happy for all of these people. And maybe some of have gone through similar situations as all of us and I just don't know it. But it is so hard to be happy that someone gets to have what I've been trying for and don't have yet.

 Okay, I just needed to get that out. Thanks for letting me vent.

I totaly understand! I have started blocking people who talk about being pregnant all day everyday. And no I can't defriend them, one is my sister in law. It got more frustrating when my cycle was cancelled. it sucks. Hope things get better for you though!

I am SO sorry!!!  I got off facebook a LONG time ago.  It made my life infinitely better.  My friends and I have actually had to make an effort to keep up with one another.  It's not so bad.  You realize that you keep up with your good friends and don't care for all those randoms.  Maybe consider taking a break?

  The whole twin thing is one of the weirdest things I have ever heard.  I think I will be pondering that situation for the rest of the week.  It is so bizarre.  Also a bit annoying with the extent of the "let's do things together"
Me: 26 DH: 26
Together 12 years, Married 4 years
TTC #1 since 12/2010 with unexplained IF
HSG: normal SA: normal
Jan 2011-April 2011: Femara 2.5 mg with 4 failed cycles
May 2012-Aug 2012: 3 IUIs- 100mg Clomid + Ovidrel + Endometrin = BFNs
November 2012: IVF #1 ER: 11/2 22 eggs retrieved. ET: 5dt on 11/7 (2 transferred)
Beta #1 on 11/19: 1069 Beta #2 on 11/21: 2752
1st ultrasound 12/5- It's TWINS!!!
Baby B with omphalocele and diaphragmatic hernia...We will love him as long as God allows.

Vent away! Last year 16 of my friends had 19 babies.  This year I'm counting how many times I've been lapped--I have 6 friends onto baby #2.  Their fertility has nothing to do with mine, but dang it stings!

Hide hide hide! That's my only advice. Sorry BabyBook is treating you rough right now.

TTC #1 for about 3.5 years
ME: 37, PCO, immune issues?, teflon uterus (my added diagnosis)
HIM: 38, Perfect. (Showoff.)
Month before starting Clomid, spontaneous pregnancy. m/c at 7 weeks and D&C.
Four months of Clomid, one IUI, with Intralipid each cycle: BFNs all
IVF 1.0 July 2012 -- Lupron, bravelle, menopur, estrogen, progesterone supps, intralipid. 14 ER, 14 fertilized, 1 blast transferred, 2 on ice. BFN
FET 1.1 -- 10/2, transferred our 2 blasts. Lupron, PIO, estrogen, baby aspirin, prednisone. BFN.
IVF 2.0 December 2012 -- Bravelle, Menopur, Ganirelix, Prednisone, Metformin, estrogen, progesterone supps. 22 eggs retrieved on 12/14, 17 mature, 15 fertilized. OHSS anticipated so ET cancelled. 3 embryos frozen.
Broke up with old RE. Moving on to new dude. Maybe the change of scenery will be just the trick for our frosties. On BCPs for possible April FET.

I know...It seems like nearly every other post is about someone's due date, picture of their new baby, or letting everyone know they are pregnant. I really get annoyed with the ones who are pregnant and post about it every single day. Sometimes I come close to commenting something like, "Nobody cares," but I refuse to start a facebook arguement. I am close to boycotting Facebook.
