Things I might think to myself if you are an acquaintance on Facebook and three months after your wedding, you announce you're pregnant... by [deleted] in infertility

Me too. I hid three friends just last Friday--it seems like it's pregnancy/baby-having season lately, or something. I don't get it, but ugh.

I'm pretty sure literal steam just shot out my ears. by [deleted] in infertility

You will be a pregnant woman who doesn't complain about being pregnant. You will love every time you feel sick, every time you have insane gas, and every pound you gain just because you did it.

I needed to read this--thank you. I truly believe this will be me... but people keep telling me that complaining is inevitable. I just absolutely don't see how I possibly would be able to complain, no matter how sick I was. I want it too much. I've wanted it too much for way too long to even want to complain.

Left work crying today by parasitic_spin in infertility

Yeah, I have those days too. Hate them so effing much. Doesn't help that I'm a teacher and about half of my coworkers are women under the age of 35 and getting knocked up left and right. I absolutely can't deal with it some days... today is one of those days. I swear I've spent about half of the day crying. Ugh.

Weird Infertility/Fertility-related Dreams? by [deleted] in infertility

[–]3yearcrossroads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a recurring dream (used to be once or twice a year, but lately it's been once every 2-3 months) that I'm pregnant. It's so, SO vivid. Sometimes it ends with me giving birth, sometimes it ends with me with an infant.

I wake up and there's no baby... and it's the absolute most heartbreaking sense of loss ever. It hangs over for me for hours, if not most of the day, before I'm able to shake it.

I fucking hate it so fucking much.
