Newbie-Intro

Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm dealing with IF and trying not to be a total jealous biotch to all the PG ladies I know. But it is hard. Reading up on some of the previous posts here has been very helpful.

I know what you mean

I can help but be envious of all those pregnant ladies out there (and the pregnant man who just gave birth!) with their tummies and their babies, and wonder what is wrong with me and why can't I hold on to a pregnancy?

My family and I want so badly these babies why didn't they stay? My mom looks like she lost weight after my recent miscarriage while I think I gained because I am an emotional eater.

And NOW... I found out I have an tilted uterus yesterday. I know people say it don't make much of a difference, but I wonder after three miscarriage, if the tilted uterus was the cause.

My cousin and I did our IVF cycles with 2 weeks of each other. She is 7 years older than I am AND the doctor told her I have better eggs than her but she got pregnant! This is her second child by IVF, fresh cycle. Her first chld was a FET baby. Her first cycle did not work. For me, IUI in 12/07, fresh IVF in 05/08, FET in 06/08, and I have no pregnancy! What is wrong with me? I can't even talk to my cousin because it hurts so much that she is pregnant and I am not!

I didn't even know there was a TTC and Coping with Someone Elses PG section. Woo hoo... somewhere to talk about how I feel with someone who knows how I feel!

the green IF monster strikes!

Oh, my goodness. I am so embarrassed about how I acted at work! It was the very start of my work day, and I was sitting next to a coworker when a bunch of people congratulated her on being pregnant. She said, "Yeah it was a suprise; I'm 13 weeks and did not even now it." I felt my stomach drop, and managed a fake smile. Everyone congratulated her then when they left, she told me "I am so sorry you found out that way; I did not mean for that to happen." Her husband had been so excited about it he had announced it to a bunch of people earlier. I smiled and said, "no it is really exciting; congratulations." She was so nice to me, but the rest of my work night I was so sullen, cranky, and depressed. She also has a 13 month old and her the rest of my coworkers continued to talk about thier kids all night. I went to the bathroom and cried, and thought I was over it, but I just could not lift myself out of the pits. I was so touched by how nice my coworker was, why did I have to act so immature!
