TTC with IF makes me a horrible sister sometimes(Rant...sorta kinda)...
These last few weeks have been kind of rough for me. Not for any particular reason aside from the usual IF stuff. Most days I try to put on a smile and just kind of bury everything for awhile but it has still been rough. Recently, I've been contemplating trying one round of Clomid with my obgyn instead of waiting until next year for an RE. I know it's not normally looked upon as the most favorable option over an RE but I'm just tired of having 0% chance of getting pregnant.
So, I'm on the phone with my mom last night and I mention that I am thinking about trying the Clomid. My mom thinks I should at least call my obgyn and see if they do monitoring and all that because I have never actually asked them. And then she tells me that my older sister wants me to know that in 4 years, when she turns 35, she will be having a baby whether she is in a relationship or not. She's currently single. She also has PCOS and IF so I'm not sure what route she plans on going.
Here comes the horrible sister part: My first thought when my mom told me my sister's plans? How dare she have a baby before me!!!
Yeah...that was my first thought. I know it's stupid but I have always assumed I would give my parents their first grandchild. I've been with DH almost 10 years and we have wanted kids for so long. I've been very vocal about the fact that I feel like I will give my parents their first grandchild. Everyone knows how I feel about it. I mean, hopefully by that point, we will have a baby/be pregnant (fingers crossed) but I couldn't help feeling upset about it. The rational part of my brain is telling me that I am being a bitch and I should be supporting her plans and all that while the emotional part of my brain wants to cry and throw a temper tantrum about how unfair it is that she could possibly have a baby before me.
Ugh...being a crazy, bitter, hormonal, infertile bitch is exhausting, y'all.

It doesn't make you a bad sister. My sister has told me when she plans on getting pregnant (can you believe some can plan this?), but I am still jealous of that, to be honest.
Feel what you feel, and don't be scared or ashamed of it. You are entitled to feel. You can't control your feelings, only how you react.
Not crazy at all, just human. We all go thru the emotional roller-coaster no matter what it is that we are dealing with.
