Wow, I havent been here in quite some time although I have been a member since 2007. I feel like this journey takes me through circles. Either I am crazy obsessed with getting pregnant then I go through the time where I am cool, not stressed too much focusing on my life. Well, here I am back to obsessed again. It seems however, when I come back to this place again, its seems MORE INTENSE every time. I am so tired of watching everyone have what I desire with all my heart!! It's even harder when my husband has a daughter! Today I needed some BEING to be there for me! I was surrounded by children, families, and babies today and I was feeling suffocated by emotion. So I go home and my hubby and daughter are hanging out on the sofa! I love my SD but it's so hard!!! So my husband sees me visibly upset. I am tired of this struggle. I felt like I needed someone to who understand!! Not someone to feel sorry for me like everyone does. My husband even had the nerve to say, well I don't want to take away from my daughter to deal with this. WHAT!!!!!!!! I could not beleive he said that!! He tends to be more sensitive than that. Yet, lately I get the impression that family thinks that dealing with me is a bother. "Oh, here she goes, crying again" WTF?? So anyway I needed some encouragement, hugs, and understanding so I came here! Thanks for listening

Oh how I understand you. I feel like it is an unstoppable circle. I tend to stay away from the site only because it seems to make me obsess more. I hate when Dh's can be so supportive at times and then at others it is like you are dealing with another stranger on the street....come on you know what we don't want to hear. You are not alone eventhough at times it feels like that. Stay strong.

I completely understand what you're going through. Unless someone has experienced infertility, they have no idea the emotional, physical, and financial stress that it causes. I am lucky to work closely with a woman that is dealing with infertility. (Although the issues she and her husband are having are related to her husband.) I just got home from my sister-in-laws baby shower. There were several times that I felt like I was going to break down into tears in front of her entire family. Needless to say, when I got home I was (and still am) an emotional wreck. I actually just joined this site because I needed to discuss what I'm going through with people who understand. For some reason, it's comforting to know that I am not alone in the way I am feeling and that these raging emotions I am experiencing are "normal" for people with fertility issues. I wish you the best of luck!

I totally understand. My bf has 2 kids I get very jelous, and restenful at times as well. I love the kids to death they are great, but i really desire one of my own. It does cause some aguments sometimes with me and my bf but I can't help how I feel. I am the one struggling to have a baby. I just finished up my first cycel of IVF and found out wen that is was a BFN. I wanted to be alone all weekend and just cry and he had his kids come over oen of the days knowing how I felt, so I had to leave the house just to get away I didn't want to hear the sound of children this weekend. But on the other hand I have to remember that he does have kids and they are a major part of his life and in which case my life to. I can't blame him for wanting to be with them. But I needed him this weekend and I didn't complety get the support I wanted. I know my emotions are running high and everything seems so dyer. But I need to not sulk tomuch or this will ruin our relationship! But Its nice to know I am not alone. Best of Luck to you
