Other than BFNs, pregnancy announcements may be the hardest part of IF.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're feeling so exhausted by all of this and ready to throw in the towel. I am feeling much the same way--get me out of this hellhole, I'm done. The months after miscarriage(s) are so, so difficult and my heart goes out to you. I'm glad that Dee booked you for extra sessions so you have that support each week to look forward to. Take care--thinking of you.Fieryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477507213781894921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-1065905150571836812012-04-28T22:25:13.860-07:002012-04-28T22:25:13.860-07:00Ouch... those would hurt.

I know...I'm so sorry for these punches, Cristy. I know the 2,5 year marker was the worst for me. I was so immensely down in the dumps, the lowest I ever was when TTC. Like you, it had to do with everyone around me being pregnant or sharing their great news of another pregnancy, which I just couldn't handle at that point.<br />But, I wasn't ready to give up at that point and so I somehow managed to carry on. Protect yourself and do what you need to as long as you need.

Those pg announcements, especially following a loss that's still so recent - they sting. No, they more than sting - it's like being kicked when you're down. Those children - the ones you've lost, the ones you've yet to meet - they will never leave your mind's eye or your heart. They will always be a part of you.<br /><br />Thinking of you and sending you so much love and light. Here from ICLW, returning your comment.

EVERYWHERE.<br /><br />Even with a living child...10.5 years of struggling with IF defines me...and it never doesn't hurt.<br /><br />I'm sorry for your punches.

There is room for happiness/envy/and sorrow all in the same heart. It will get better. Every step you take, even if it results in a hard fall, brings you closer to finding the answers and having your child in your arms. Even if the answer is that you have to give up on one road and take another. <br /><br />I wish you the best of luck for your upcoming FET.
