trying to get pregnant..
becomes frustrating when you turn on the t.v and you see commercials for baby stuff, Clearblue easy, soap net had OLTL on last night and one girl's story line was that she is pregnant. ( i don't even watch that show either, just wanted stupid tv) and anything baby related!
what gives?
?
Re: trying to get pregnant..
I know what you mean. I didn't notice all the baby things surrounding us in everyday life, until I unfortunately suffered a m/c a couple of months ago. It seems I can't get away from it and I won't feel comfortable watching those things until I'm pg again.
GL!
How strange.. when i saw your birthday post, i was wondering how your TTC is going.. But I agree.. Daytime TV is a biotch when you want to be pg and aren't.. Every commercial is for diapers or gerber graduates.. My least favorite commerical is the lady who has the brick as a baby.. cuz.. seriously if I don't have a kid soon, i'm gonna START carrying a brick around as a baby..
And now i can't even go into walmart.. they have that walmart TV station and every 5 minutes its. "Are you expecting a baby?... " NO! For the love of god! I'm not!

I had to put off TTC for over two years because my mom passed away, we had to sell her house and get things taken care of, and then we lost two contracts on houses we were buying (like we were IN contract).
It really sucked and every time I saw a pregnant person I pretty much wanted to burst into tears! However, now that I have a baby, I totally recommend taking advantage of your individuality and being with DH - I pretty much have no independence or freedom or time alone with DH, just the 2 hours after baby girl goes to bed, which is usually a scramble for me to shower and do a normal 18 hours worth of work in 2 hours!
GL, and totally not trying to be mean - seriously - eat at nice restaurants, go out on the town - travel - do it all now to enjoy and take your mind off the whole TTC wait!

I am sorry, I can imagine it would be difficult. I have a good friend who has trouble TTC, and I feel pain on her behalf when I see/hear stupid commercials, or find out about a pg teenager, a mistreated child,etc.
(ummm... or Michelle Duggar with #18)
thanks ladies.. i am really not stressing that much to be honest. We are only into month #8. I guess i stupidly "assumed" you have sex, get knocked up! LOL.. guess i shouldn't have worried about NOT trying so much.
?
artic - i hear ya, but we are at the point in our lives where we are in fact ready. I just turned 34 (yeah!) and i/we have done a lot, been through a lot and gone out to eat PLENTY.. believe me, it is a sickness.. So, as frustrating as it can be when aunt flo comes to town, i am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason!?

Sorry but I find this quite rude. I know it's easy to get mad at teenage moms but I had a child at 15 who died after three hours and then quite happily gave birth again at 16 to a beautiful baby girl, today is actually her 11th birthday. I was told I had PCOS and both pregnancies were quite rare because the testing I had done showed no ovulation in a year and I never got my period, so in my eyes, kids were never going to happen. Not everything is careless and is "knocked up" in a negative tone. I truly thanked God in a small sort of way because at least I knew I could get pregnant after a few years of being told kids may never happen.
With my first son, I was 21 and they accidentally gave me Clomid instead of Provera, I wasn't as keenly aware of the meds like I am now. Still young and still happy.
And my second son it took many months to conceive him with his dosages of Clomid.
So please just rethink when you comment on some teenage mom who gets carelessly knocked up. I doubt you were trying to offend someone.
Rebecca, it will happen. I've been praying for you and I hope it happens soon
thanks Carolyn! :-)?
