I'm tired of waiting ... being disappointed ... then waiting again ... and being disappointed again.

[gibasgirl]

Tired of my DH dragging his feet over pretty much everything resulting in me struggling with both IF AND his reluctance.

[Cheddar]

Oh yeah, hadn't even though of that one yet, Gibasgirl. That's going to be fun again ... playing Sperm Quality Dictator for another three months (no booze, just organic food and no fun for anyone allowed!)

[Nantol]

Sperm Quality Dictator!! LOL. That would have a nice ring to it on a business card. :0)

I'm tired of being unhappy all the time.

Hearing people talk about IVF like it's a crazy pseudo-science thing.

getting fat from all the meds.

[Cheddar]

Yep. Also sick of being fat.

Tired of my BIL -- who is a new, first-time father -- treating me like a drooling idiot b/c I am childless. Hello! IF is not a reflection of intelligence, or lack thereof.

[KennyandFooty]

Ugh...I'm tired of thinking I'm finally getting somewhere with treatments to just fail again and again in one form or another. Tired of feeling like it's ME that is failing. Tired of trying to be happy some days. Tired of living life in 2 week increments - did i ovulate? is AF going to arrive? 2ww...
Tired of the negative and ready for some positive.

[gibasgirl]

Tired of running out of time. Tired of paying for experiments. Ohhh let's try this and see how that works. Yeah, easy for you to say, doctor, it ain't costing you $10,000 to experiment.

- soooo sick of spending the money and being broke and still having nothing to show for it
- for having to make my pregnant friends feel comfortable around me even though i am dying inside
- the uncertainty, the waiting, the heartbreak
- the RE whose next suggestion costs 600
- everything infertility related today!!

love this post so much.

[BCgirl]

Tired of feeling left out of conversations with groups of women who all have kids
Tired of not feeling like a sexy woman anymore because anyone and anything have looked up my you-know-what in the last year
Tired of how unfair the world feels sometimes....

[KeepingTheFaith]

I'm tired of wondering...
will it work
when will this or that happen
how will I explain
what will I say
how long it will take
if it's my turn
WHY?????
am I preggo
why was it so "easy" last time
how many people are judging us
if we can afford this
if we are doing the right thing
when will I go a full day without crying or screaming
how much longer
why not????

I'm also tired of being tired and stressed all the time.
Everything costs money and yet we have to take all this time off of work to do our procedures, tests, etc. How will we manage?

I'm tired of thinking that our chances are like that of winning a lottery, I've never been lucky with lotteries...

I'm tired of bitching!!!

I'm tired of saying sorry, giving excuses, lying to others.

But, I am very thankful for this site! I am so lucky to have all of the wonderful women here. I feel as if I've finally found others who 'get it' and can actually understand what I am going through. We might not be the same age, or live in the same place, we may never meet, yet I feel somehow bonded with the women here. Thanks to all of you, for listening, for not judging, for sharing, for everything!

-feeling like I cannot even physically or mentally answer the phone on pregnancy test day anymore.

[lexi]

I am sick to death of hoping that this Christmas, this New Year, this Birthday, this Spring, this Summer etc I will be pregnant or have a baby to hold!

I am actually sick to death of the whole bloody thing. But can't stop either.

I am sick to death of hoping.

I am especially sick of miscarriages.

I LOVE this topic!

[frostedlemon]

Right now I am so sick of people asking me constantly if I'm pregnant. I comment that I'm tired, hungry, have to pee, couldn't sleep last night, I slept well, I'm irritable, I feel the need to breathe, anything, it automatically must mean that I'm pregnant. Because only pregnant people feel that way, apparently. I know it's usually said as a joke or they may feel that they're being supportive, but it just feels like pressure to me. I'm trying very hard to avoid the TTC madness this time and to just go with the flow and whenever it happens, it happens, but it just feels like I'm back there again when people keep harping on me.

- living my life "on hold" and one cycle at a time

[Laura1976]

When you have opened up to someone and then their response to your trust is crass or rude comments. "So are you knocked up?", "I'll give you my eggs" - I never knew I had an egg issue, nor did my eggs??? It may be well meaning, but how be unless if the person is also facing IF they take a step back and realize that IF is a topic that should only be discussed when the person dealing with it wants to and that they will bring it up at that time.

You must have been talking to my sister.

sorry your sister is an ass like my supposed BF. I don't know your whole situation with your sister, but I have lost my relationships, and all respect, with both of my sisters through this journey. Thankfully I have also made friends through this journey that I feel a more honest and respectful connection with who I hope to have in my life always <3.

I've had a friend offer me her eggs "thanks honey but I've got my own". I actually got a text last week from a so called friend asking me if I'd "done that in vitro shit yet"... I deleted her from my phone and now consider her a complete and utter uneducated (and crass) class A moron! Infertility has taught be if anything to keep my mouth shut and mind my business! Never EVER will I ask a woman if and or when she plans on getting married, it have kids. If someone doesn't want to offer me the details I sure as hell won't pry! At least we have each other girls

Good call on the delete! Last winter (2010) I got to the point of anxiety attacks when certain people's number would come up on my call display. I felt so much better when I got rid of their toxicity. We not only have to cleanse our bodies to be our best selves, we have to cleanse our minds and spirits too!

Keep us posted on if that friend didn't get the picture, do you think she's smart enough to know what your not answering her text meant?

[ValleyGirl]

Doubtful - but I am excellent at ignoring idiots right out of my life! I feel this experience has really shown me who is "real" and who is a waste of my time! With a friend like that who needs enemies right? I don't like being treated as someone's personal soap opera or gossip fodder.

[lexi]

I am so sick of going to friend's baby showers that got pregnant at the same time I did but then I miscarried those 3 pregnancies. The last one was today.

It was a male/female shower and wouldn't you just know it "MY" husband won the game where you guess how big her belly is with rope. Please.

[lexi]

I am sick of hanging out with friends and all their little toddlers! It kills me!!

[lexi]

I am really sick of people telling me I should just adopt.

Like adopting is no big deal and I could just pick a baby up at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I didn't really want to get pregnant and enjoy my pergnancy nor try to have my own bio child first anyways........
