I go away for a long weekend, had lots of wine and martinis, come home and check my e-mail late last night and a pregnancy announcement. A friend that did IVF same time as I did is pregnant. Go to work this morning (after I gave 20 tubes of blood to figure out why I have not had AF since the failed FET and get some more info on why these cycles did not work while a pregnant woman sat in the blood draw chair next me) and my friend/coworker announces her pregnancy. Then we go to dinner tonight and a very pregnant woman sits at the table next to us. I made my husband get up and get me out of there. What I am a pregnant lady magnet? Is it even possible to find out two friends are pregnant within 12 hours of each other? I have been crying for the last 24 hours and my eyes are just about swollen shut now.
I do not mean to offend anyone pregnant. For me having tried for so long, failed so many times and am devastated and heartbroken, pregnant women and pregnancy announcements are not what I want to see/hear right now. I told my husband I am not going to leave my house for awhile. I am even going to avoid my office and do as much as possible from home. I know I need to get used to this as I won't have children now that we have stopped cycling, but it is still too fresh a wound to put on the brave face.

When you are struggling so much it seems that the whole world is pregnant. I see pregnant women everywhere. You can't even fly these days since every f-g magazine has a pregnant celebrity on the cover.
I hope your blood tests reveal something useful and you will try again and make some other miserable soul cry.

I hate to know that you are feeling this way. I know you are going through right now and it is understandable. Take all of the time you need. It will get better in time. I know that can be annoying, but time does heal.
I still cry at the drop of a hat. What you went through in regards to the pregnancy announcements would have placed me in the same state. Let me know if you need anything.
