I'm struggling, guys

Nothing new, it's just hitting me harder this week. I got my period this weekend and I was really sad about IF, but I thought maybe it was period related. Today I go together with some friends, two of whom have three kids and I felt sad all over again. the other friend just has one child , but she is the same age as the baby I would have had if I did not have a m/c and if my first IVF worked. B/c of that reason I always feel sad when I see her daughter (but her daughter is supercute and lots of fun to play with) although I tell myself that it's her first kid, I already have one, etc.  Then at lunch she told me she's PG again and I just wanted to cry. Actually, when lunch was over and I was on my own I did cry for a little bit.  I thought I'd be over the intensity by now, but every so often it hits me again.  Thanks for letting me vent.

In happier news, I get to see DD again tomorrow!  She was visiting my parents this week, but we pick her up tomorrow.

I am so, so sorry Bronx! It definitely goes in waves for me, the sadness. I'm not sure if you've already done this, but have you considered seeing someone to talk it through? My mom is a therapist, albeit retired now, and I always felt so much better when I went to see someone to talk all this stuff through.

I haven't talked to anyone, but I've thought about it.

I'm so sorry! I definitely know how that feels. Most of my friends have 2 or more (one has 5) kids. It's always difficult to be out with them and not feel some type of sadness or bitterness. I think most of us go through these emotions. ((Hugs))

I'm sorry. A friend posted her bump on FB today and it's such a punch in the gut feeling when it hits. It sucks.

I'm sorry, I've been there too. Hugs.
