ARGH!

So, my cycle was being confusing. I was having some pg symptoms and just wasn't feeling quite "right" ... so I took a pg test today and it was negative. I knew that it probably would be, because I'd started spotting a bit the past couple of days, but I couldn't accept it and I'm technically about a week late. This was the first pg test I'd taken since my loss so it was more heartbreaking than I expected to see "not pregnant." All I could think about was how I should be 7 months pg right now. I'm just feeling pretty sad and frustrated.

I've also had so many people in my life have babies and announce pregnancies lately. My neice who is not making the best choices in life just gave birth to her 3rd from 3 different fathers and I can't even think about seeing her at Thanksgiving. 2 of my college roommates are pregnant, one with her first that is due within a week of my previous due date and the other with her second. My best friend from high school is due on my 31st birthday with her first. Every time I turn around on Facebook, someone else is talking about how great their children are or pregnancies or whatever.

Sorry, just needed to vent! My DH tries to understand, but I know there's a part of him just wondering when I'll be ok again.

Im so sorry you are going through this. I know its hard to watch people around you go on to have babies. I also have 3 people I am friends with on FB who are all due in Jan like I was and its definitely bitter sweet to see their belly pics and doctor updates.

I wish you the best of luck next cycle and pray you get a sticky bean.

Sorry, sweetie.

Vent away any time. We all can empathize.

I'm so sorry. It's okay to vent. We are here to support eachother....good times and bad.

It is really hard to see everyone IRL preggo and with newborns I feel like every day I see a new pg announcement. Literally

I don't know whether it's just that we don't notice it as much until you've had a loss, but it does seem like everyone you know gets pregnant right as you're dealing with a loss...i've got the same thing going on right now too, and it's hard some days to work up enthusiasm for all pregnancy & birth announcements i'm getting.

I was due in January too. Tough timing to deal with considering the holidays and everything.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this. It's so hard. I agree that I have such a hard time when pregnancy announcements, etc. I couldn't even go to a good friend's baby shower... Hope you feel better soon!
