We rushed through the stages of TTC, so we went through each stage of grief for a shorter period of time, but I still feel the bitterness, especially with the "accidental" pregnancies of several of my coworkers.<br /><br />Every time I learn someone I know struggled, I instantly feel bonded to them.<br /><br />On the other hand, I also feel sad when I see someone I care about struggling with infertility. My brother and his wife have been trying for a year now and are now working with an RE. I really want to wish them pregnant, but I know they have to go through this hell, as well. And I know it must be really hard for my SIL since by brother has a pre-teen son from his ill-fated first marriage.Pomegranatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910587483872510836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335973539292414851.post-63023477143624118122011-01-19T15:53:30.525-06:002011-01-19T15:53:30.525-06:00IRL, I doubt I'll ever have a normal reaction ...IRL, I doubt I'll ever have a normal reaction again. I found out today that a co-worker who had a "scare" and a fit over it last year is now pregnant on purpose. Must be nice!<br /><br />Your co-worker sounds like a real ass.

I'm waiting for my uberfertile SIL to announce hers, since they started trying this month. My nephew was concieved after 2 months off BCPs. I'm glad they told me they're trying so I can be prepared, but it won't make it any easier.<br /><br />Hugs to you. Many many of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335973539292414851.post-38510536186842180162011-01-19T08:41:56.572-06:002011-01-19T08:41:56.572-06:00Ew, that co-worker is a real piece of...work.

My best friend got pregnant the minute she stopped taking her BCP and even though it didn't take us long to get pregnant, I couldn't help but to feel smacked by how absurdly easy it was for them. I'm sorry you have to deal with those feelings on a seemingly regular basis :(Strawberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800336069786992859noreply@blogger.com
