Best friend is Preggers.. as well as everyone else of FB

This week started off bad.  My best friend told me she was pregnant (they weren't even trying) and about every female on my fb has announced they are pregnant as well.  I cried to my husband last night about all of this.  I'm ecstatic my bf got KU, but its also hard on me.  She is constantly talking about her pregnancy brain and building a new house for their new baby.  I can't afford to build a new house, get a new car, buy a desginer handbag all b/c I'm having to pay to try to get pregnant.  Sorry for my rant.  Desperately need some happy pills this week.

Yeah, these announcements always make me feel like I belong in a psych ward. When one of my best friends told me she was TTC, I thought I would have a panic attack if she would also get KU before me. Actually, every time she called me, I preemptively answered the phone with "Are you preggo already?!". I felt really guilty for feeling this and then she told me they're seeing an RE because they're having trouble and I felt relieved and I hated myself for that too. And then I rationalize and tell myself that it's not my friends' pregnancies that annoy me but just the fact that they remind me of our IF and that I'm not a bad person after all...

I totally understand you.

Yep I feel ya. Everytime I get rid of one on my FB two more pop up pregnant. It hurts so bad because its something we all want so badly and no amount of begging, screaming, crying, and or money can make it happen any sooner or at all. We have no control over something that is natural to everyone else to be able to control. Not that Im trying to get everyone on happy(I call them my crazy pills)pills but I reached a point about two months ago wherer the negative feelings just never went away. I went to the dr and they put me on Wellbutrin. My RE ok'd it for pregnancy and I feel 100x's better. I wasnt walking around wanting to slit my wrist or anything but it was hard to get out of bed or find something to smile about. Its not a magical fix all but I feel a whole lot better and people around me notice a differnce as well.

Big hugs. We found out sister in law and her husband are pregnant and had a belated Christmas celebration on Saturday. Games, gifts and baby talk the entire time. My MIL went into great detail about how she told her friends she was going to be a Grandma. Um, really? I don't want to hear about this. I am happy for them but the news we just got was pretty devastating.

 

We ended up leaving at 7pm because I just couldn't keep it together anymore.

It does suck.  Especially when people complain about it.  I work in a prek and wen the parents pick up I always try to say something nice.  "Oh he was such a great helper today"  " She is always so sweet." etc.  And parents always say "My kid?  If you think so you can keep them."  Its like you have no idea how much I wish I had a child like theirs.  Anyway agreeing w. pp, I am also on Welbutrin.  I just have always had a hard time controlling my crying.  It was ok when I was smoking but when I quit (10 years ago) I could not stop so they put me on the meds.  It does help and the re said it is fine to take.  Not trying to get the whole world on them but it does help if you think you need them.

I am right there with you!!!!
My BF of 25 years called me tonight to tell me that she is 12 weeks pregnant with baby 2. I am so over the moon happy for her and her husband.
But then my crazy hormonal brain started thinking and I realized that even if I get pregnant at the end of this month with IVF 1, my BF will have gotten pregnant, had baby 1, celebrated baby 1's first birthday this past July, got pregnant with baby 2 and will have baby 2 who is due this July all before I have 1 kid.
Both pregnancies were surprises.

And then the sad IF brain kicked in and I realized I may never have a surprise pregnancy.

IF sucks and that's why there is wine! Cheers ladies!

Seems to be that kind of week for all of us...today my receptionist found out she is pregnant (but we were using condoms!?!) and then this evening one of my good friends came over and announced to me that she is, too....and she's very torn about the whole thing because she is not in a real relationship with the father. And I need to be the voice of reason to them both saying that those are just the hands we are dealt.  Is this my crappy hand? I'd like different cards, please.
