Getting Pregnant

babyblue · #1 January 19th, 2008, 12:17 PM

I haven't been around b/c DH and I are in Chicago right now, visiting some friends. Thursday we left for the airport, and I felt like I was dealt another blow. DH"s brother called to tell us that his wife is pregnant- -accidentally-- and due June 14th, which is 2 days before my due date.

They were afraid to tell us at Christmas, b/c they knew it would upset me. They have a 9 month old little boy already. So I tried really hard to fight back the tears but I had to go into the restroom at the airport and just cry it out.

Then we finally arrived here in Chi-town Thursday night, and our friends took us out for dinner.. and during the conversation broke the news to us that she is pregnant with #2. They have a little girl that just turned 2. Man, I just felt like I got kicked in the stomach Thursday. I was in so much pain that day.. DH and I had been having a conversation that morning on the way to the airport about how much I want to be pregnant and of course he thinks I should be over it all by now..

and then I got a double blow that day.. wow, it was a tough day for me.

I am doing better though, just so ready to get past wanting to be pregnant and longing for another child.. and ready to see it actually happen for us. We are having lots of fun and DH and I have found some time to BD while we are here..

so I am really hoping that things turn around soon. That makes 6 people close to me - friends and family- that have announced pregnancies since I miscarried. It's just a lot to take.

I have told myself I am not going to take any OPKs this month and just let everythign happen on it's own. It's not hard right now b/c I don't have any with me, but I know I'll be fighting the urge when we get home on Monday. DH will be out of town Tuesday thru Friday on business, but I told him we're going to have to squeeze in a quick BD session Tuesday morning since I'm thinking he'll be gone on or near my peak fertile days..

Anyway, hope you all are doing great and I will be on more when I get home.

I can totally understand how the other family's pg would get to you. I have a few and they aren't even people I am close with. One is due 2 wks after me and it was unplanned too.
Maybe with so many pregnant ladies around it will 'rub' off on you

that would have been sooo hard

I am so sorry you got those blows blown to you

I really hope you get your BFP this month!!!

I am so sorry! I know it s so hard to hear other people announce their pregnancy after you have a loss, especially when it is still fresh. I've had 2 friends announce they were pg, nowhere near 6 people, and I know that was really hard for me. I hope you get a BFP real soon!!

Oh, and I hope you are enjoying this *wonderful* weather we are having here in Chicago.

This is the coldest weather we have had this winter. I hope you are staying warm!!!

Im sorry to hear, its a lot of pregnancies to cope with.
Its really frustrating as we are trying and we have had a m/c. Some friends of ours have 2 kids, not through trying, just because they were careless. Also DP brother and his GF are having a baby in about 2 weeks, they were together about 3/4 wks before she got pregnant.

Talk about unfair.

Hey Amber!! I was just thinking about you earlier and wondering where you'd been

Glad to hear you are enjoying yourself in Chicago.

I am sorry for the rough day you had with all the baby announcements.

Hopefully it will be you soon!

I have big hopes for this month and I hope you get to join me in the October DDC

Hope you're back on here more soon!

uuggghhh, i totally feel your pain hun.... I'm so sorry

All of my best friends (whom are also my co-workers) are all pg and due within weeks of my dd... everytime i see them it's like a constant reminder. It's getting a little easier as I move on- but there are still days i just want to scream and cry.
It will happen soon for you guys, i just know it. And it will all be worth it when you hold your little one in your arms.

I would've had to cry it out in the bathroom too. I hope you get your BFP soon.

That must be really rough!

I'm sure you'll get your bfp soon!
