So, I met a long time friend for a drink tonight. She and I became friends in 8th grade-- so quite a while ago. We had many fun adventures in high school. After freshman year of college, we started drifting apart, but have remained friends through the years. I maybe see her 4-5 times a year now, so not often. It was fun to catch up with her, but some of the conversation was strained. "I have a question for you, that is a little...." Inappropriate? "sort of..." Ok, well, then you'll understand if I don't answer or whatever "Sure.... are you having fertility issues?" Uh.... what would make you ask that? "Well, you mentioned on facebook something about going to the doctors. And you left a comment on some video of someone's baby that they are lucky. And, I can tell that you're not that happy." Uh.... ok. Yeah, we're having difficulty conceiving. "Is it anything that can be fixed? I know how much you want kids." ...
I'm sorry, Emmy :( That is *so* hard. But it's so normal to feel this way - I'm finding it impossible to be happy for any pg woman ~at all~ these days.

This road sucks.
I hate baby showers.
ReplyDeleteI'm not TTC anymore, but I constantly have nightmares about people telling me they are PG... it still hurts :(
Oh, I'm sorry! When I was at my old job we only had 9 women that worked there. At one point we had 3 of the 9 pregnant along with 4 wives of co-workers. It was so difficult to deal with.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll take pregnancy whenever you can get it (hopefully sooner than later) and the sub will just have to deal!
Seriously. That sucks. I'm so sorry.
