Hi AMV -
I totally agree that we will never take for granted the blessing we'll have when we do finally have kids. Some people have NO IDEA how lucky they are. Not to get political but the gov't healthcare will pay for pregnancies to be terminated hwile there are so many people out there who would give their right arm to have a baby and we have to work so hard (literally/financially) to make it happen. Its really hard to hear people complain about their kids. My DH was in the grocery store the other day and a little girl about 2 was running around and screaming and her father looked at my DH and shook his head and said "Want a kid?". If he only knew.
We also agree that it seems like our life is just on hold now. There are alot of times we're sitting around looking for something to do and it just feels like children would fill the hole in our day to day life. We spend alot of time with kids in our family...babysitting and going to their hockey games, etc. But its just not the same. Our time will come, I'm just impatient!
I don't want to hear it anymore.

Just got the news that the unemployed YOUNG irresponsible kids across the street are expecting. (living with 'new dad to be's Dad, new dad to be has one shift a week at the Timmies.....new mom to be has no job or skills....)
I get to see her (all of 18 I'd bet) out smoking with her friends. Talking loudly about baby clothes. While I want to go over there and wring her neck!!
But of course they must DESERVE it more than we do, right?
*snort*
It's gonna be a long 7 months around here.....
bah.

Oh while we're in a venting mood. My family support is so awesome - insert sarcasm here- when I confided to my FATHER that we were having IF issues and that we had been trying for 2 years and our next step was a 10K procedure, His brilliant supportive response " Wow, you must really want kids. I'm not sure why you're having problems, you must not be a part of ou famiily. Non of your Aunts had ay problems and your Grandmothers had 17 kids between the two of them." I FN almost had a heart attack and climbed across the table to B*tch slap him. I of course restrained myself and managed to mutter " Yeah, well they were all 13 when they got pregnant. Adding insult to injury, my brother has 6 illegitimate children from 3 different woman, my stepsister 3 children - 2 different fathers and a stepbrother with 2 kids. All 3 of them Bro. SS + SB dropped out of school to be cool.Non of them married, in dead end jobs. While I went to college, worked part time and have spent the better part of the last 20 years being a good girl and focusing on my career and marrying a great guy. Doing the responsible thing and paying my bills. Ugh, oh am I in a mood today. I think the two martini's after work have just sunk in. Thanks for the vent!

Oh I hear you Melissa!!!
While I was busy with my 'career', brother started breeding. And now I am left with a career I dont' even care for, and no kids.
I wish I could smack myself...LOL.

I'm another who thinks it's totally unfair and annoying! A year and a half ago everyone seemed to get pregnant. My hubbys brother and step brother both got their wives pregnant, his business partner and his wife were pregnant, his best friend for 20 years and his wife got pregnant. Christmas last year was tough. I was in a room surrounded by babies. Everyone knew we were having problems conceiving, but it didn't stop any of them from asking when we were finally going to have one. People can be so insensitive.
My sister-in-law was the worst. She planned her baby shower at MY house, didn't bother to ask me, just planned it then said "oh by the way..." I can't even go to baby showers anymore so having one at my house was sooo hard, I ended up outside most of the time. Her and hubbys brother got pregnant again when their first baby was 3 months I cried but tried to feel happy, she had a miscarrage and is now pregnant again. They came over a few weeks ago and she insisted on telling me how lucky she was to be pregnant 3 times in one year, she went on and on and on. This last month we just found out that all those people who had babies last year are ALL pregnant again.... I think people should just stop getting pregnant until I do hahahaha I'm so selfish lol

OMG I love you girls!
It seems like the people the least deserving are the ones who are always "oops" getting PG. Maybe it seems harsh to say undeserving but I realy feel like that some days. Having been married for nearly 8 years, the question about children gets hearder and harder to avoid at family functions and get togethers with friends. You try to brush it off like you're purposely trying not to get PG yet all the while dying inside because only you know the struggles you have been through and continue to face. It's so nice when people point out the fact that "it's so much better to have them while you're young *yes thank you - I'll get right on that like it's as easy as buying bread ughhhh!)
15 year old cousin "oops", 17 year old cousin "oops", unmarried friends, newlywed friends get PG on their honeymoon (awww!).....the list goes on and on.
My DH and I have both established ourselves in a home, with good careers and are generally seen by people as having it "all together", we seem to be able to have so many successes and be so strong in our lives about everything but having our family. When it's all you think about it's everywhere and every comment, annoucement and PG person you see, cuts like a knife into your heart.
I've had to stop reading People magazine (my favourite!!) cuz I'm just so sick of hearing about every celebrity in the world getting PG, whether unwed or 16 years old or getting their children taken away because they're too much of a mess to even take care of themselves.
I like to think about how much stronger this has made me as a person and how much strength it has brought to our relationship as a couple. It sounds realy corny but I feel like after everything we've already been through we could tackle anything together!! Our tongues are forever thickened by all the biting we've had to endure!
Be strong ladies and know that for as many people out there who don't understand...they are as many "in here" that do.

If it makes any of you ladies feel better, my husband and I had an "oops" pregnancy when we were quite young, underemployed and a student,......and have never been able to conceive again in 14 years!!!
Did I "deserve" my baby, hell yeah! Did I appreciate the ability to conceive, hell no!
I never got to decorate a baby room, buy the "dream crib" etc. as I had my child extremely young and $$$$ was extremely tight. Just remember when you seen a young mom-to-be that may be her only baby and she might be posting on this same board many years from now after desperately trying to have another....
At least my family has stopped asking about more children... they assume we wouldn't want any more so far apart...how little do they know! I keep telling my sister to give me one of hers and she can have more...so far she hasn't gone for the bait....

I'm sure coping with Secondary Infertility is just as painful, frustrating, and exhaustive. There is a support group for Secondary Fertility on this site, I'm sure this is a group of very supportive women who do feel and understand your journey.
Having a baby for me is not about decorating a baby's room or buying clothes. You have been blessed to have one child, while some of us are doing everything in our power to be blessed just by one. I'm not sure I can relate to your journey, sorry
Hugs to everyone, may you all be blessed.

A few years back, I've been going through a hell of emotions when I heard that somebody conceived. I felt so furious inside me that I was ready to shoot the happy expectant mother and her deserving father-to-be. I know that this is an extreme feeling but at nights I was sobbing in my pillow, wondering what I have done to deserve the childless curse.
I never became friends with my sister-in-law who had three accidental pregnancies. She went on and on saying how much she wanted a fourth baby and how terrible it was that her hubby did a vasectomy. I don't know how I did not kill her right there. In the eyes of DH's parents, she was always an example to us, "career couple", of which we were constantly reminded during their visits.
My grief over IF lost its intensity over time. I learnt how to live with it, just how a person learns to walk on crutches. I can tolerate women and babies, and I actually enjoy spending time with babies. I guess, deep inside I accepted that I may never get pregnant. I opened my heart and mind to adoption thinking that some children will never have a mother, being raised in an orphanage. And if I continue IF treatments I will go crazy, and won't be allowed to adopt for health reasons.
I need a drink.

This site is wonderful. People who "get it"!! I've got to vent a little myself....
It continues to amaze me how people are so insensitive... I was at a baby shower last week (yep, not the best situation to start with), when a person I thought of as a friend (who knows I have been experiencing IF) announced her second pregnancy.
Fine- I try to be happy for others (though of course I am usually jealous first!!)- but I don't want to beget others their happiness. THEN, she announces.. "and it was a SURPRISE - AGAIN! You'd think a health care professional would know how to prevent these things!" OMG- I could not believe how insensitve she was. I was stunned.
ARGHH....

Fine- I try to be happy for others (though of course I am usually jealous first!!)- but I don't want to beget others their happiness. THEN, she announces.. "and it was a SURPRISE - AGAIN! You'd think a health care professional would know how to prevent these things!" OMG- I could not believe how insensitve she was. I was stunned.
ARGHH....

hopeful - becuase it's you I can laugh " you should get another cat" I can't believe someone who even imagine saying thoes words out loud ( although i am laughing now as I read that) - laughing because I can't believe there is actually someone so stupid to say that - it's horrible lol.
I read something on here I really agree with - about how much more we'll value our children.
**DS mentioned ...
I have one DS concieved naturally and very possibly will never have another one even with the help of IVF unfortunately - anyways this whole journey has made me realize how incredibly luck I am to have one little miracle, I can't believe people would EVER complain about their children, and I feel awful that some people take it for granted. It is such a special miracle to be blessed with - and when everyone here gets a BFP I'm sure the baby(ies) will be so incredibly cherrished because we know how much of a miracle they really are

I'm justing popping in really quick because this statement is one that I do have a problem with & one that I struggle with. Don't let IF rob you of the right to complain and be a "normal" parent, complaining about your kids doesen't mean you don't love them, everyday I feel like I won the lottery & I'm very very blessed I don't take that for granted BUT I do have stressful days like any other mom & I feel I have the right to complain about my kids just like any other "normal" mom. Ok I'm butting out just had to put my 2 cents in.

You're right Jaan sometimes he drives me crazy, and I think its human to complain a little bit - but I complain about things he does (ie peeing on the carpet this morning just for fun because mom it made a puddle!) but I would never complain about him - just things he does Big difference I think!

The words I live by are "It's all relative"....there is ALWAYS someone worse off than you, struggling more, hurting more...but that does not lessen the pain you feel when you lay awake at night crying, or ease the physical sickness in your belly when you get yet another BFN result!!
When someone makes an assinine comment to me (like when hearing my infertility is due to cancer saying "you are lucky to be alive. You should thank God for that and not ask for too much"), I just remember that my pain is real and I do not let them take away my right to feel the way I do. Just because I survived Cancer does not mean I have no other hopes for my life!!
That being said I have also realized that at my age (33) most of the women I come into contact with WILL have children and WILL talk about them incessantly (like they should). It is virtually impossible to avoid....for me it's been kind of like being on a strict diet and surrounded by fresh cupcakes all day every day!!! (excuse my simplification)...Ha!!
This forum has been a Godsend for me, because I don't know ANYONE else who has been through this struggle. When I read some things on here, I smile and laugh! It's great to know other people feel like throttling their pregnant friends sometimes and it's not JUST me!! LOL
In this together,
H

And that since our ivf failed I should get another cat.
UGH.
LOL!
Yeah, get another cat that you can train double o seven style so it can sneak into their house under the cover of darkness spray their furniture and shred their carpet, then poop in the back of the closet so they can't find the smell and all their clothes stink....
Darn Evilyn, she's still around.
Then kitty can be all "puss in boots" cute with it's big beautiful eyes and purr and rub up against their legs when they come visit. Then you can all look at them a little cockeyed as your nose curls and you wonder what the heck that smell is!
Or not.... that could just be me....
Perhaps villainous ploys aren't for grouches?
Hope you have a great Friday!

TTC#1 April 2003 - Jan 2009
9 IUIs, 12 months Fermara, 4 months Clomid, 5 rounds of injectable, 1 LAP, 1 HSG, 2 Uterine Biopsies, 1 Postcoital, 1 IVF, 2 FETs... 2nd Fesh Cycle IVF - ++Beta 110!
TTC#2 - Dreams coming true... Surprise BFP Au Naturel! Never really started trying, but never gave up hope on dreams coming true. 20w2, after 6 days of strict bedrest, we lost our baby boy, Emmett to my incompetent cervix and he was born sleeping. 24cm long, 0.67lbs he was the most perfect little angel and has brought with him many lessons for us to remember him by.
Lightening strikes twice apparently>>>> May 24 ++HPT, Followed by ++Beta. Numbers are low, but doubling. EDD Feb1/2013 ~ Baby Boy arrived 5 weeks early in under 2hrs. Left me with 4th degree tears. 2 years later, still pending reconstructive surgery In that time hubby had a vasectomy. Never thought we'd have a chance to take fertility into our own hands

hehee.
It is in total grouch style...I love plotting, even if I never get to execute...heh.

Hey Guess what, It's Friday and I just got my period!!!!! Whooo hoow, first period after my miscarriage. That means we can try naturally this month! Cocktails all around tonight. Let's start with Martinis. How's that for looking at the positive? Oh and the cat comment - I would SSOOOO be plotting revenge. Just a tiny one. You ladies make me cry and burst out loud laughing!

I know how hard it is to hear about new pregnancies, especially if they are extra fertile and always in your face about their conceiving efforts and suceeding, even if you want to be happy for them. What irritates me the most is when people--mostly family--say that if I am less stressed, maybe it will happen naturally. My husband has low sperm count and motility and IVF was our only option. Plus, we tried for years. I think people who have not been through IVF can not really imagine how you feel or what to say.
