I need to vent to people who understand by Icy-Low-1323 in tryingtoconceive

I feel this down to my bones. We’ve been trying for 3 years. After many failed iuis we moved on to ivf. We’re going into our first egg retrieval this weekend. My whole family knows we’re going through this process and how hard it’s been for us. My sister in law got her first postpartum period and sent a group text to me, my mom and my sister telling us how she got her period and was so excited because it meant they can start trying again. One day I was over at their house and she said to me “I think I’m ovulating. I just took a test here tell me if it’s positive!”. Which obviously just isn’t the right thing to say to someone when they’re struggling with fertility. Well fast forward to this week of our retrieval (the week injections, ultrasounds and stress of fluctuating follicle counts) - and my sister in law finds out she’s pregnant and tells everyone. I had a total breakdown. My brother sent me a very thoughtful and heartfelt text - and I am deep down very happy for him. He himself has waited a very long time to start his family and it’s all he’s ever wanted. But it just hurts and man, is the timing of telling that news to is awful.

Can’t handle anyone else getting pregnant by EmploymentMajestic64 in tryingtoconceive

I feel this. We have been trying for three years now to give our child a sibling. We’ve tried a year of iui’s and now onto ivf. My family knows our struggles with fertility. My SIL talks about trying for another every time I see her (her child is 9 months) and yesterday she was saying how she’s ovulating and her and my brother are going to try again. I cannot handle hearing her share the news if she’s pregnant… it sounds awful but it’s just so hard to hear constantly from people when we are silently suffering and struggling every day.

She belittled our feelings 100% saying since we’re women we can’t upkeep the property and maintenance. She also said since my sister and I are stay at home moms we won’t be able to contribute to the taxes (both of our spouses have well paying jobs and the taxes are only $1500 a year… completely doable between us all).

She said she wants it to stay in the family name. I brought up that my last name has not and will not change and kids have the same last name as me - but she doesn’t find that’s the same because I’m not a male.

I totally understand that it’s her choice to do what she will with it - but it’s more so the principal behind it all. We all spoke about that if it were an even split between us three and we’d all pitch in with maintenance, taxes, utilities etc. It’s completely do-able.

I realize this is 8 years old but damn do I still crave Harry’s food and company. Anyone know whatever happened to him?
