Hi girls,
Sorry to winge yet again, but I really need to let this out...
Well I was at the gym today after having been unable to go tho the gym in like a month and guess what... 2 yes 2 of the personal trainers are sporting BIG fat pregnant bellies... I almost fell over backwards, it was the one place that I could go to and take my frustrations with IF out and feel good about my self, now its just a reminder of how screwed up everything is! I don't want to change gyms as I love going there to work out with my mum as well as being really close to home but Im unsure how to deal with the preggos (one is always at the front desk when I get there in the morning). I hate getting so down and jealous of these women, when I should just be happy for them, but I can't help it! Any words of wisdom on how to cope would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I am so sorry. That would be so tough to deal with. I wish I had some advice that would make the pain go away but I don't. I know that you will be a mother! Just try to remember that.

I don't have any words of wisdom only that you are not alone, I know many of us if not all feel the exact same way.

i am so sorry you are going through all of this, it is totally not fair. i went through it sooooo bad befor i was suc. in getting preg. and even after when i was going through if again, and friends and aquant. were just popping them out..... it doesnt get easier, the only thing that helpled me, was saying in the back of my head, " it will be my time.... i will have my special time..... " over and over, i never lost faith that it would happen, its just so hard to wait. it took me 9 iui's 2 hsg's a lap and then ivf to get preg with my twins...... but the minute you see that test come up pos. all those bad feeling start to melt away..... i hope that happens for you very soon.

I wish I had some words of wisdom. All I know is that it is SO hard to deal with. I don't know how long you've been struggling with IF - but its been a little over 2yrs for me & finally the pain & jealousy is starting to go away & I think thats only because we are finally getting in for INVITRO (after 2yrs of waiting). I do know that its normal to feel the way you do - because we all do! I am always here to talk if you need too!!
