Watching your husband playing with your friend's baby
and wishing you could give him one of his own.
Telling nurses to please take blood from your right arm
because the veins in your left arm are gone from all the IV's you've had.
Avoiding people you haven't seen for a long time because
you don't want to hear the question "Do you have any kids yet?"
Feeling very left out when your friends start
comparing their pregnancy or childbirth experiences.
Feeling like the whole town is pregnant except for you.
Getting tired of people always expecting you to do things
because "you don't have any kids to worry about".
Waking up in the middle of the night wishing you could hear your baby crying.
Wishing you could give your parents grandchildren.
Wanting to fall apart if one more person says,
"Why don't you adopt?"
Easy, right?

You just summed everything up for me. Those feelings are very intense. I hope that results will come to you soon. Don't lose hope.

I can relate to all these feelings. IF is the most painful thing I've ever dealt with and I hope that all of us well get to see good results soon.

You nailed it on the head with that. Everything you said hit home. I watch my DH with our nieces and it kills me inside that I haven't given him that. I do wake up at night and thats the first thing that pops into my head. Baby Dust being sent your way :)
