I'm feeling really down today ladies....I had to go to get a baby shower gift for my friend. Her shower is next Sunday. I was really sad in the store just walking up and down every aisle. Looking at the other pregnant moms wishing it was me.....wishing I was registering for those beautiful gifts.......
I cried all the way home from the store. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the shower next weekend......

I am so sorry that you had such a rough day! I can totally sympathize with you about the baby store. If it turns out that we can't have kids, I've told DH, that I won't go into baby stores. It can be very very depressing. I don't really have anything wise to say, except that you aren't alone.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I know how you are feeling. Within a couple days of AF starting again this cycle I had 3 different friends tell me they were expecting. I just lost it and cried most of the day. It's so hard because no one really understands.

I understand how you're feeling! I had to go to my cousin's baby shower Saturday and it was tough to make it through. I have an even harder time shopping for them, so I usually ask my Mom to do it.

it is so hard watching someone get something you want so bad! i have to admit, i have avoided some situations like baby showers. i've just said i was busy. i'm not proud of it, but i just couldn't do it. hugs to you
Aww hopeful a hug your way....... I can relate with what you are saying, since I have been trying to conceive, it has been so many baby showers around me & the questions at the baby showers, and more then ever I would see pregnant woman all over, and it will get so depressing.... but had to recollect myself and change my mind set, cause it gets very depressing and it is not good to stay stuck there... it just makes thing worst for me.
That sucks! I'm so sorry that any of us have to deal with that. I have spent the past 3 years going to baby shower after baby shower for DH's family while still ttc our own and it gets harder each time. I started treating myself to something after each shower I successfully survived. A nice big Bowl of my fav ice cream, DH giving me a nice massage, going shopping for myself. Anything to try to ease the sadness!
