Mother's Everywhere-Absolute disaster

Shopping

I went to the local mall to shop- absolute disaster. Women with huge belly ,children within their arms, young and older women.

The worst part ,is the looks that were given to me..it felt like I was like a fish out of water.

I could not find anything to fit . I am curvy and average height.

Then I remembered ,oh yeah...I have 3 fibroids that was discovered in my ultrasound.

Then it hit me, I'm getting older and I have no idea, on how get pregnant and stay pregnant for 9 months.

Shopping was my one pleasure, that I could be myself and be happy.
No more shopping on Friday and Saturday. Sunday and during the week is better for me , less families around. It's too much to bare although I was with my husband.

I've had the same experiences on multiple occasions. I try to do as much online shopping as possible or shop during the week. One time I had to go into a corner of a store and cry as my husband tried comforting me - pregnant women everywhere I looked!

All I can say is I understand. ((HUGS))

Hi! These are the normal feelings for every struggling woman. I'm among them as well. After 2 years of TTS, testing done it became clear we won't do it ourselves. This was a disaster for us both. 'Cause from the very beginning we blamed ourselves. My husband thought it was absolutely his fault. I thought mine. Unless our consultant told us this is my age (41 yo) and my poor egg quality being the important obstacle to the process. No male fertility issues.
In such a way we became true candidates for egg donation ivf. I couldn't bear the thought the baby won't be biologically related to me. It took really much time to get used to the idea thanks to biotexcom staff support.
Now we are in 5 att program. Have a great hope it will end well.
You should find all possible ways for your dreams come true. I wish you good luck on this path x
