It just seems like further proof of my defectiveness. <br /><br />AND I'm with Sienna where I now avoid all people who might potentially be sexually active, so worried am I that they will soon be pregnant. Ha!!! Basically I am now a recluse. THANKS, IF!<br /><br />Yes this is total shit, but whatever. Our time is coming. Particularly yours, you-spring-chicken-with-only-one-loss-under-your-belt, you! Not that that's any guarantee, I know. And I know how worried you (justifiably) are. But I have TONS of hope for you. You seem very well poised to pull out of this muck-hole soon. <br /><br />Not that that's any comfort, I am sure.... yeah, basically, this sucks.

It's completely natural to get worked up. Babies are freaking everywhere you look. I've found the same problem with FB and now I'm avoiding my SIL for the same reason. I just wish that mood swing had a middle. You either feel great or hopeless. Funny how we used to take "okay" for granted.<br /><br />We are almost cycle buddies here! I'm on CD 12 today (but assuming the bad tube side is firing so not optimistic about this month's chances) with my shorter than usual cycles. I'll be pulling for you to get that positive test this month and a nice juicy u/s with healthy baby to blast all over the interwebs in 18 weeks from now.Mrs. Misfitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245258330689439524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-12213473634232399582010-04-15T08:09:31.085-07:002010-04-15T08:09:31.085-07:00I hear you.

Just another awesome bonus from IF, I guess. I blame all of the hormones.

Those are the ones I have a hard time with. If I can read it and be upset, that's one thing, but if I have to try and conceal my jealousy/sadness/disappointment/whatever in person, that's really difficult. <br /><br />HUGS! We're on the same track this month, hopefully we'll get BFPs together!Fidgeting Gidgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903926675948152931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-33811720705437587352010-04-15T06:32:57.811-07:002010-04-15T06:32:57.811-07:00I think the only thing you can do to make things b...I think the only thing you can do to make things better is to not give yourself a hard time over the envy and anger and sadness. You KNOW these are normal reactions, that we all have them, and we can't all be awful people, right? I mean, I totally am, but it's just statistically improbable that all infertile women are! So let that envy roar, 'cause it's not going away, and you deserve to feel ripped off!bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197167351148883584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-78212532138281036072010-04-15T05:47:25.660-07:002010-04-15T05:47:25.660-07:00I know where you are coming from.. so annoying tha...I know where you are coming from.. so annoying that I feel like I am not really happy for anyone else because I feel so bad for myself.
