It's mother's day and as we all have, I thought for sure I'd be a mother by now, or at least on the way - especially after all the meds and frustration and trying. Went to MIL's for dinner tonight to celebrate mother's day and DH's bday that was yesterday. It was nice to see she really liked the flowers that I picked out for her garden, and I wasn't too sad during the gathering other than that I'm a little sad to not see my own mother today. It's been a hard week too because we had to miss my brother's wedding cruise last week because we couldn't afford it. And tonight when I get home from MIL's I got an email from my best friend since age 4 that she's expecting her first baby in October and thought it would be a good day today to announce it. Sigh...I'm hapy for her for sure, but the envy is painful too and I can't let it show. Why does ttc have to be so hard? Over 2 1/2 years now and still hoping and waiting. Will our luck ever turn around?

I am so sorry that today has been hard. It has been bad for me too. I cried all morning long. We went on a picnic with my side of the family and my mother and grandmother made some really insensitive comments. Yesterday was my DH's birthday as well! Are you doing anything different on the ttc front???

Hi Caitlin! Weird that both of our DH's have the same bday!

Tonight my DH's step-mother made a comment to me about being the only female there tonight that wasn't a mother...had to try to ignore her. I'm sorry about the insensitive comments you got today...so many people just don't understand or try to comprehend other's positions. I'm sorry you had a rough day too!

This month is my 2nd cycle of Femara but we've decided not to take another round of it - for me the side effects were extreme and almost scary at times.

I'm sorry Jen It is hard and sometimes it's hard to keep going I must admit. I can't believe we're all still here after all this time. But our time is coming, it better!
ps your DH's stepmom pisses me off!!
