Baby talk

I know baby talk is usually on Wednesdays but this has been eating at me all weekend. Last week Jenn told me that one of her very best friends is pregnant. While I am happy for her, I am also devestated. I know that we have only done 2 rounds of IUI and that we are currently taking a break so that we could move to a larger apartment (one that would actually have room for a baby). It is still very difficult to see all my friends having babies and now hers too. I know that it is a jealousy thing. I can't help but sit here and worry about whether or not we will be able to get pregnant. It's a silly thing for me to think. There are no fertility issues on either side of my family and the only thing that the doctor has said might be a problem for me is my weight. We decided together that we would resume TTC efforts after the first of the year. I thought that it would be easier than this. How am I ever going to survive another 2 months? I am so impatient!

Re: Baby talk

  • I am really sorry. It's so hard to watch other couples move ahead. I think it's harder when you are on a break and don't even have a chance at a BFP. We are on a break after 7 failed cycles and a chemical pg. The break is harder than the negative tests!

    I don't have a ton of great advice at handling breaks, I am not doing all that well myself. But, I do feel your pain and am sending you hugs and strength. It will be Janurary before you know it.

  • I know how hard it is.  We were in a Maybe Baby group and during it, everyone in the group got pregnant but us - and then we had to take a break to move/start a new job - by then all of our friends from the group had toddlers! It was so hard to still be childless while our friends had pretty much moved on to playgroups.
     In the end we did 2 ICIs and 7 IUIs over a 19 month period (we took time for testing, doc appts, moving, and mental health breaks.) It was so hard.  But January will be here in a flash (the holidays make time fly!)
     
    Hang in there. It is worth it....totally worth it. :)
