Okay really.. this is too much...
As if I really need another reminder that I am not pg....
a few moments ago I get a text from my cousin. She decided to tell me that her co-worker is pg and needs my OB info. WTF! It is not her fault for texting me. I have not really told my cousins about my struggles. And she definately does not know about how I was feeling yesterday. But come on... what timing....
Or maybe... just maybe... it is a sign from above that I need to not lose faith, that there is still hope. Nah, sounds too far off even for me, the wishful thinker.
Re: Okay really.. this is too much...
It always happens like that! Like the girl here who cried when she found out she was pregnant because the baby was a total mistake. (her words not mine!) Or the doofus at my Aunt's work who got an abortion in January only to keep the next baby in February. Things like that used to really get me down. I found solace on message boards, reading books, reading inspirational blogs and staying connected with positive friends. There is no one that quite understands the frustration, like someone who has been there or is there.
And don't ever give up hope!!! You are not a quitter. Certainly some doors may be closing, but if there is a will there is a way:)
You are so right Lisa, it always happens that way.
I remember my cousin-in-law did not want to tell me she had an abortion because she knew that Alex and I were trying and getting disappointed. I did not find out until I had m/c with my first pregnancy.
I'm sorry, just hang in there. I know how things like that feel like a personal jab. But really, if only people who deserved to be pg, got pg, then we wouldn't have the octomom, or all those other horror stories of totally unworthy parents!! Hang in there - you always have us to vent away!
Also, just wanted to add, I watched "the secret" when I did my second round of IVF, and it totally helped me have a more positive attitude (most of the time anyway!) I also stuck pics of ivf twins at my desk as a reminder that miracles happen. Check out the success after IF board for some inspirational stories if you need a quick pick me up.
I am very sorry to hear that you are going thru this. It seems that what we want so badly is given to everyone else that is around us.
I don't know if this helps or not, but my brother and sister in law had fertility issues for many years, but after so much prayer and hope, she finally became blessed with 2 twin girls this passed August.
Stay strong and positive.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Marina. Sometimes we feel that we just want to quit & its ok to feel that way but you know you will not because deep down inside there is something stronger in you that will NOT allow you to just quit. Hang in there.
