I sympathize. I saw three ladies in a row today, leaving the school I was teaching at, and I was like: 1) What, are you all in a special club or something?? 2) You clearly already have one child, because you're picking them up from school...so why isn't it MY turn...no fair 3) SHOW ME YOUR WAYS!
I'm clearly bitter, immature, AND crazy yikes. Maybe it's the weather?? (first grey/rainyish day here) May my jealousy subside with the lovely amounts of wine I shall drink this weekend...

I have finally (mostly) beaten the bitterness after almost two years TTC. The very lowest point for me was about nine months in, right where you are HS, in the still believing it might happen but starting to worry it might not stage. I hope you are able to find some peace.
It doesn't matter if it's your first BFN, your 30th or you are still on the sidelines, it sucks to not be able to have a child when you want to. Big hugs to all of you ladies.

I'm still really bitter that IVF#1 failed. Recently one friend with a ds 1 year younger than DD announced her pregnancy. Anohter friend with an oldest dd my DD's age announced her 3rd pregnancy. I'm happy for her, but we started TTC when DD was 6 months old. She has had two pregnancies and I'm still not pregnant. We have the same IF diagnosis. Then I feel like an asshole for thinking that way. Due to DH's work schedule and DD's unexpected medical costs, we are putting off IVF#2 until early next year.
I just wanted to say that I've been there. I took me a couple months short 3 years to get here. I totally understand the feelings you are all having. I definitely found it helpful to drink or do whatever simply because I could. I also wanted to recommend a book called something like every drunken cheerleader why not me. If you're religious, Hannah's hope.
I'm rooting for all of you. I hope each of you gets your bfp very soon.

I am def not a hater, but feeling that little twinge of jealousy. Six months ago, I would have said "better them than me!!". But the baby bug has hit me hard...

Don't feel like an asshole, it would upset me too. You people will not want to be around me if I finally try IVF next year and it doesn't work. I would be more bitter than the bitterest hag, lol. You are so strong and its great you're going to try again!!
I'm really glad I have you guys to talk to....you get it.
(((hugs))) It is really hard to talk about this IRL w/o seeming like a crazy person.
Exactly. You sound like a jackass *or* you get the whole "you should enjoy your freedom/sleeping in/etc!" I've been enjoying my freedom for 10 years. I want to move on to the next step.

Hug (}) I would totally be a bitter hag in your shoes, so don't feel bad for feeling the way you do.

Oh we don't hate you! Just all the other pregnant ladies!!! No but really thanks for the encouragement I'll take any and all support on these boards.
