Another day... yet I still feel so incredibly raw with all my feelings. Tomorrow will be exactly one week from when I found out that our IVF cycle failed. The nightmare became real... my husband and I experienced the worse case scenario... 6 fertilized embryos... only 1 survived... transferred the one good embryo and no pregnancy. No frozen embryos to go back to. We have to start all over again. From the beginning... with the shots and all the meds. I feel defeated.
Today, I feel angry at the world. I am angry at so many people in my life. I don't expect people to be there for me... everyone has things going on in life... everyone is busy. I know this. But, today I can't help but take my sadness and project it into anger for people in my life. ...I am angry at my sister in law for comparing what she went through with infertility to what I am going through... that she had it worse.
...I am angry at one of my girlfriend's who hasn't asked me anything about how I am. She herself is going through a lot... a move to a new state where she knows noone... 6 month old twins that she is having a rough time with... so I understand she has a lot going on... BUT! Send a text to me or something to see how I am. She knows what I am going through. I'm going through things, yet I will ask her ALL the time how she is...
This isn't me. That is what bothers me the most. I am not an angry person. I am usually selfless. Today though, I'm not. I'm angry and... just angry.

I think it is normal to feel the way you are feeling. It will take some time to heal, and hopefully you will have the strength to try again.
And it can be so isolating to go through IF, especially when you need support, and I think a lot of people just don't realize how difficult of a time you're having. I find it hard to vocalize myself, so I keep it inside.
I hope you start to feel like yourself again soon, and I wish you all the best.
