Let's face it, many people like to dig their claws in when they find out a woman is infertile. They make the usual, predictable, callous comments about how you are selfish for not adopting, and how IVF is "playing God". Its no wonder that people going through infertility need counseling. Oh, and don't get me started on the disappearing friend who suddenly resurfaced once she got pregnant and really just wanted me to go to her baby shower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268763444456164679.post-12410011575299102032008-10-16T08:22:00.000-07:002008-10-16T08:22:00.000-07:00OMG, you said everything I am feeling!

You have been through so much to get where you are, and nobody will ever understand. It really must be like PTS disorder. I hope once you hold your baby in your arms, you are able to leave some of the pain behind. Once it is real and you are holding your baby, I pray that you your heart will be filled right up with all the love and happiness you so deserve. I know you will never forget all you've been through, and I know the sadness for everything you have been through will never completely go away, but you deserve to be happy. You've earned it!! I'll be praying for an easy, fast delivery and a perfect healthy little bundle of joy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268763444456164679.post-63926020530640937772008-10-01T18:44:00.000-07:002008-10-01T18:44:00.000-07:00Lisa, I felt just like you do before I finally go...Lisa, I felt just like you do before I finally got pregnant at CCRM. I was very depressed and not the most fun person to be around for about 2 years. I was not happy for others and had so much jealousy it made me sick. I didn't go to baby showers and it was frustrating working in a school system with little kids and the parents who didn't even care about them. I missed out on quite a bit of living by crying daily and not seeing friends and family. I need to tell you though, something that may disappoint you. Even after I got pregnant I still have issues. In fact, I think of myself at Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after all I've been through. People expect me to be completely 100% happy now and not have any issues at all but I still harbor a lot of anger, frustration, and jealousy. I definitely feel happier now than I did in those days but sometimes those angry, jealous, and frustrating feelings do come back. I'll never forget all I've been through. Maybe after I have this baby I'll be able to let some of this heartache go but sometimes I'm not sure if it will ever fade but in time I hope it will. I think that it does help to know there are others thinking the same thoughts I am and your blog resonates with me and the sadness I still feel now sometimes and felt daily long ago. I will be anonymous here but you know me from the IVF board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
