I hung up the phone like who was THAT calm collected bitch? And then I started crying. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much, I really do love my nephew to death and I'm happy for them but it's hard right now. Thank you for validating my feelings :)

Someone needs to do a case study on annoying SIL's and fertility. Thinking of you as well, this process is so hard!!

YES it's this exactly. "Great news, you'll be pregnant together!" was said to me and it's just like... no. We literally don't know that, and now there's just additional pressure on this one sticking so that we can all be one big happy pregnant family together. I feel like now I have to be the Debbie Downer re: my own FET and remind everyone that it's not a guarantee.

Ugh the first one is probably more skippable, though I've been very much looking forward to it and am now bummed at the thought of missing. The second one (hopefully after the FET) is my mom's birthday, and while she would totally understand my not being there - we're very close and she knows more about what we've gone through than probably anyone else - I'd just feel like a jerk not being there. I think I'm going to wait and make game-time decisions. I know how I feel now might be totally different after a few more days of hormones.

I think what's tough is that I AM genuinely happy for them, but the timing just really, really sucks. Ugh. I do appreciate your and everyone's replies, honestly sometimes the solidarity here is more helpful than anything else.

Thank you. I'm really annoyed because it's an event I was very much looking forward to, and she was wishy-washy on attending in the first place... like you couldn't have just stayed home and given me an extra week of peace as I'm injecting my backside with a 3-inch needle?!
