Just when you try to forget about it!!

Anybody ever notice that when you try to take your mind off TTC and you're home relaxing, the first thing you see is that darn Clear Blue Easy or First Response commercial!!  I just wondered if those commercials bothered you all too. LOL

LOL, I saw one for CBE one day and it said "the most advanced technology you will ever pee on". I LMAO. I paused it and made dh watch, he couldn't believe it. They redid the words now. It says "the most advanced technology you will ever ahem, well you know". I guess the sensors didn't like "pee" hee hee

I'm laughing because I noticed the guy saying "ahem" instead of pee too.  I just think about my stash and my POAS habit and just crack up laughing.  Then to top it off, at the end of one of the commercials they advertise for the OPKs too!!!  I just get mad after I just got a bunch of BFN's!!!

Yeap, and not mentioned the shows on TV - The new show "the notes from under belly" or whater is the name - just showed up at the same time when I found out that my IVF has failed. I just wanted to take my TV and through it out of the window ;-))) The other day me and my husband went biking and of course, wherether you go -  you just see the mothers proudly parading with their children or pregnant women taking a walk.... But we cannot hide forever, right - I decided that instead of crying myself out everytime I see a stupid TV show or invasion of mother walking with their kids, I will take that as my inspiration and push it even harder ;-)))

They can afford all that advertising with the $$$ we shell out every month!! I haven't watched that notes from the underbelly or whatever it's called, yet. But I do still watch the Miracle Births. Some of those couples have been through so much sorrow and loss, it makes me feel good to see them have a healthy baby :)

I think the hardest is to work with a pregnant coworker.That is my case, she's a nice  a girl and happy for her however sometimes I say to myself...... damn I wish that wa me too. Then I say God I don't mean it in a bad way...(just in case he gets offended. LOL . Any how is just difficult to constanntly see a preggo girl and see your self with a belly ......but full of fat.

I never heard of notes from the underbelly.  I have to see what that's about.  I watched a Baby Story once this week and surprisingly I wasn't too upset.  But I was watching the woman in labor and she didn't scream or anything and only winced the whole time with no medication.  I said I guess she is trying to play it cool for the cameras or something because I know the hospital staff was glad to see my big mouth finally deliver!!

Yeap, my best friend just got pregnant (I was during my 1st IVF cycle), and the girl wasn't even planning yet - she was thinking next year. So, as much as I am happy for her and wished her the best, part of me (and I hate myself for this) is just so envious and I cannot help myself to think why her, why not me.

Not to mention, I had all my buddies over to watch the 2 hour Grays Anatomy last week (my favorite) and the spin off that they have been talking about for the longest time happens to be a Fertility Clinic of sorts ... we all had a good laugh about that ... but it happens every time I fly too, stories about plane crashes become more frequent so I guess ... that is life right ???

I have never noticed all the shows and commercials that have newborns or pregnant women until I started seeing my RE (a few months ago). Everything is baby baby baby. It makes me nuts!
