Hi. How's everyone been? This weekend I went to a playdate with two friends and all of our kids. It was awesome to see my friends and the kids had fun, but I felt sad at times b/c they both have three kids and I can't even have 2.  I keep thinking "how did this happen?"  Ugh. 

OTOH, I survived the snow!

I swear, everyone I know IRL and everyone on MMM is pregnant and it is really getting to me.

We're waiting to meet with our RE again on the 11th, but I'm sure at this point he'll suggest moving onto IVF, which is going to be a tough decision. Blah.

OMG I know just what you mean. It's driving me crazy. I should probably stop going over there for awhile b/c it always makes me feel bad, but I can't look away. It's so frustrating.

I have been feeling a lot of different emotions lately. I have been feeling jealous of people who have just announced their pregnancies and those who have given birth, guilty for spending so much time on TTC when I feel like I could be doing more with DD, and sad whenever DD asks why she doesn't have a sibling. She asked me that yesterday when she said that most of the kids in her class has a brother or sister. It just broke my heart.

Me too. It seems like every day there's a new one.

Yep, it's way worse than GetP!

There is definitely a baby boom happening there. And there are more people TTCing.

[satsuma]

Doing a FET is more of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be. It's much cheaper, there's no ER, and I only have two monitoring appts, but since I did an antagonist cycle for IVF I only had shots for 10 days (not counting PIO) vs being on Lupron for close to a month. It just feels sooooo long.

I've definitely cut back on my MMM time in the last year. There's only so many BFP's I can handle on any given day! Good for them and all, but it's hard to watch sometimes!

Ahhhh, I know! I keep trying to start posting there, but the daily additions to the pg list are making me sad, and I'm not normally one who cares about that.

[Mushe]

I am trying valiantly to stay positive. Ummmm, it's not always working. Lol. I decided that if we do need treatments (first RE appt is mid-Feb), that I need to wait until May due to being PM on a huge work project with a first big end date at the end of the year. It'd be very bad career wise to have an EDD before then if I actually had treatment to get it.

Anyway, to keep myself occupied, I decided to sign up for my first full marathon. I'm so excited! I settled on a race, and it's in a great city for us to take a long weekend. I think DS will love it.

[bronxgirl]

Last night I went to a local camp fair for DD. As much as I want another child, I'm a little relieved I only have to pay for one. Camp tuition is outrageous!!

[ginkgoleaf]

Bfn from ivf cycle today.

We made lemons into lemonade by taking DS bowling for the first time - we've been wanting to go but that counts as exercise so I couldn't do it. Planning on Jimmy Johns soon too to get my lunch meat fix. Silver linings, right? Sigh.

I'm sorry



Did you have any frosties?



I hope you are able to spoil yourself a little bit this weekend.

I was thinking about you yesterday. I'm so sorry! Lots of hugs coming your way.

No frosties, I only had 2 make it to day 3 and both went back in.

So far I've eaten crap food and done retail therapy at Costco and target.

[Mushe]

Huge hugs, ginkgoleaf! Retail therapy for sure.

[satsuma]

I'm sorry ginkgoleaf

We've just started dealing with this and I hate it. I don't have any good answers and DS is always so hopeful when he asks, like we can run to Target and get a baby brother.

I think this is the hardest. DD is almost 6 so I can kind of reason with her. I tell her that I would love to give her a sibling and maybe one day we will get lucky enough to have a baby.

[bronxgirl]

My daughter would like a sibling, too, although she doesn't talk about it too much.
Gah!!! WHY do I keep going to MMM? EVERYONE is PG there and new announcements daily. I get to a point where I'm not even thinking about IF and them BAM. It's like a bomb dropped.

[yellowbrkrd]

I'm so sorry ginkgoleaf.

I need to stop going over there too. It is too much for me right now. Ugh.

[satsuma]

I am a much happier person being on estrogen patches and lupron vs lupron only. Agreed about MMM, but I don't know where else to go. This is board is great and all, but it is slow.

[satsuma]

I gave up caffeine in prep for transfer. I got decaf this morning and the barista gave me a big smile. Ugh.
