re: *OFFICIAL* Fertility Treatment Thread (Clomid, IVF, IUI)

Quoting Amelia Margaret:" I never really understood why some infertiles are incapable of supporting their friends' pregnancies. ... [snip!] ... don't get being that way to a friend who has also suffered infertility. Sorry, I have no advice. Just that I don't get it."

I think the same way you do. I'd be so happy for her (but jealous in a way) if the shoe was on the other foot. She kept saying, "It just hurts so much." I get that it hurts, I do.... I don't want to minimize that.

I think I came to the conclusion that she is too hurt to accept the fact that she might not have any more kids. I hate to be "that" person (you'll know which one I mean when I'm done making this statement. But she should be thankful for the child she has. She's very lucky.... she has a daughter, a house, and she gets to stay home with kid, and she has a very supportive, hardworking, husband. I guess I just have a different view.

I know that comes off kind of cruel and coldhearted.

I agree with this!!! I think when your going through the same thing as infertility, support should be equal.

It's not really going that way between us. I'm kind of disappointed in her. She's been kinda blowing me off lately. I'm feeling kinda hurt by it. I invited her to Jace's birthday party and she came up with a lame excuse why she can't come.   Oh well...
I just texted her (my phone died in the middle of our conversation). I apologized to her and I said I probably minimized her feelings about it. All she really said was that I didn't and that she wasn't ready to talk about anything yet but didn't want to bring us down from our exciting time.

I need to possibly get surgery on my wrist, how do I go about it with TTC?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am having a hard time figuring this out.

Do you know when the surgery might be?

While in the middle of my Clomid + IUI cycle back in July 09' I had 4 good follicles and a couple days before ovulation I found out I had to get my gallbladder removed. We canceled the cycle and avoided sex. I had my surgery sometime around August 20th 09' ended up O'ing on my own the day after my surgery then got pregnant the following Clomid + IUI cycle in September 09'.

I always imagined it to be smaller too!

I get very angry and jealous when irresponsible unstable people I know get pregnant but I think it's reasonable to feel that way. When it's somebody who has been struggling with infertility and they get pregnant I feel happy as if it was me being pregnant. I don't get it either. With every BFP in here I've been very excited for them, I look for to them posting their ultrasounds or taking about their pregnancy.

Quoting Mrs.O♥:" Results already came back, and I'm positive!!!! We don't have to switch donors!!!!"

I'm glad everything worked out! YAY!!

I haven't gone back to the doctor since I was told it was needed and just have dealt with it for the past 7 months.

I was told surgery was needed and it scared me since I haven't had more than just my tonsils out, I know I am being a baby about it but I just am playing the waiting game on my TSH levels and how IR I am.

Plus this is nerve entrapment surgery, physical therapy after, I don't take painkillers or anything, but I use muscle rub. I don't think TTC and PT would clash? Unsure though.

Just got out of our counseling appointment and it changed DHs mind! He is okay to be open with our child   now I can make the scrapbook I want to make

What a relief! I was worried about that for you. I figured he would probably change his mind eventually but it's way better going to this knowing he's on board with being open. Yay!

Exactly. I figured too that he would change his mind when he sees our baby, but it was a relief to hear it now! The counselor was very nice and talked to us about how and when to be open with our children.

I've thought about making a little storybook. It takes me forever to accomplish stuff like that but I sure could use the distraction in the coming months!

Yeah   I think we will do the same and show our journey to get him/her
