Two of my close co-workers are now expecting their second children in the time I haven't been able to conceive our first and I got to spend an entire lunch hour with them (I was the third to their two) and listen about how the babies are coming along and how they are thrilled to be giving their little ones a sibling. A solid hour of nodding, fake smiling and choking down the emotion I felt building.
I came back to the office and went directly to the restroom on another floor and cried. I know they don't know and they don't realize and maybe I needed to say something - but that's just not my way of handling things. I always internalize it and don't make waves. But good Lord it HURTS.

I understand completely. No only do I have two coworkers that are currently pregnant but FOUR of my online "infertile friends" are also currently pregnant with their SECOND child. Infertile indeed!
ReplyDeletei am so so sorry hon. i understand so much of that. i wish i could say it gets easier, but so far i haven't found that it does......as your niece and i say about it all--it's NOT FAIR! ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I have two co-workers who are pregnant, and a couple of blogger buddies who are pregnant. It feels like you are left behind. I hate it. And you are right, it does hurt.
ReplyDeleteI have been there too. When you miscarry or can't conceive, it seems like others can do it so easily.
ReplyDeleteI get it. More than you know. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had to endure this. I'm sure they wouldn't be so forthcoming with their information if they knew what you were going through.
ReplyDeleteI never said before, but I tried for another one after my first, I tried for 7 years and nothing happened. I just gave up trying but then I am lucky enough to have a child.
I truly hope something happens for you soon Ann, but you need to de-stress a lot more. Anxiety has been proven to be one of the worst factors for successful conception and trouble-free pregnancy.
I wish there was something I could do for you, even just help you with the way you are feeling...
Sending big hugs and lots of love. xxxxxxx
i don't know how much you want to share with them if any, but it might be good to mention something so you don't have to hear the baby talk for awhile....
