I have been holding up very well and thinking very positive since my lap to clean up my endo on the 13th. But- I am just feeling a little sorry for myself (well, DH and I) today. Yesterday we had a BBQ and 3 of my pregnant friends were here. I am SOOOOO happy for them, don't get me wrong. But, it just seems so unfair. My mother in law said that to my mom too- she said it's just not fair for them (us). My MIL is not a grandma yet, so I feel really bad. At least my parents have one grandson and my sis is pregnant again. I have friends/ family due for babies from Sept-April (no-one in in Nov though) and I just want to be one of them... I am just a little weepy today. Could use you gals to help me build up my strength again, that's all. Thanks so much for all of your on-going support. It feels so good to come to DS and talk with you girls. Take care!

I commend you for not only your unselfishness but also your ability to be honest with yourself and hubby. As the other women said when it is your turn, know that you can appreciate everything that much more. Good luck to you and yours!!!

I am sorry you are having a hard time right now. I have been there many, MANY times. I wish I could take your pain away but all I can really do is let you know you are not alone and try to believe that one day it WILL be our turn. {{{HUG}}}

I know how you feel--pregnant people abound these days. My mother-in-law is not a grandmother yet and it puts a tremendous amount of pressure/grief on me. That's a tough burden to bear, but we will do it!

We all have those days, dealing with others pgs is really tough, you get caught between what you should feel (happy joyous) yet you grieve for yourself so deeply. Your right is so unfair and there is no explanation that will make it easier on us, what I try and do is concentrate on the fact that this state were in it temporary, one day we will be parents and all this will be a bad memory and when you look other families you dont know their story, we see the happy healthy for the most part, but they have their struggles for sure they just arent necessarily the same struggle. Maybe were getting off easiernever know ;0)

I know how you feel-its always hard when it seems as if everyone around you is pregnant and you are trying so hard! I commend you on being so positive for everyone else but its okay to feel a bit sad for yourself, I think its perfectly normal to feel that way (I know I do!). It will be your turn soon, try and keep that in the back of your head, good luck! :)
