Drama queen
So I am trying to figure out when I became such a negative, pessimistic drama queen....and I think it was about the same time we realised we had problems in the fertility arena. I am not excusing my behaviour in the slightest, I have been so negative and it must be so discouraging to so many of you going through things that are much worse to read my dramatic little rants.
i was speaking to a colleague today about how nervous I am about this whole thing(see that? Not even calling it a pregnancy yet!) and I think it is because we at work are surrounded by all the things that can and will go wrong. I spend my days scanning cancer patients whilst my colleagues do ultrasound and often see non viable pregnancies, birth defects etc....to be honest they aren't that common but they are the cases that stick out in your mind. So I guess that is why I am so cautious and ready to write this off as a failure.
i sincerely apologise for my theatrics.....I am hoping that this is the. Last of them....I will try to be a little more positive for the sake of not only myself and my husband for all of you wonderful people on this site that are so full of hope.

It\'s okay. You\'re allowed to be dramatic and pessimistic. Because...you\'re pregnant :)
Don\'t apologize for being dramatic and pessimistic -- IF does that to you. I think those of us going through IF have our own deep valleys and completely understand what you\'re going through. I myself went through a very dark point at one point in this journey, and I can see the changes it brought in me -- both positive and negative.
That said, try not to get stuck there. It\'s a hard thing to do, but it\'s essential to us getting through this. Hang in there, friend!
