Outnumbered

When I started blogging I assumed(yes, I know what happens when you
assume!) that I would be one of the ones (in our online community)who
got PG after awhile. And now, 2 +/- years later and still nothing.
AND, nothing even in sight.

I often find myself scrolling through the blogs thinking....pg, pg,
has kids, pg & has kids, pg, pg, has kids, pg, etc... I DON'T want to
be that way and so I stay away from blogging in case I say something
that reflects what my infertile mind is trying to force on me. Because
never in a million years would I want to say anything to hurt any of
you. I LOATHE IF and this constant battle of fighting for something I
have always wanted and feeling this ongoing pressure to be someone I
clearly don't want anything to do with.

I know I've been MIA a lot lately(sorry), but I don't know where I
"belong" anymore. I even had the talk with J about living a child-free
life. Not by choice at all, but we don't want IF to ruin our marriage
and I know at some point I have to become happy again. I'm tired of
being sad all the time, it's so freakin' exhausting. I guess what I am
trying to say is, NO, we haven't fully decided to live C.F., YES, we
are trying to be more happy and enjoy life and each other and things
that make us happy(i.e. camping). And hopefully in the future we will
get to do IVF again, but in the meantime we are going to take it day
by day.

    I think most of us assumed the same thing, at least I know I did. And I can certainly understand the feelings that lead you to the CF discussion. FWIW, I hope you find happiness in one form or another very soon. You deserve nothing less.

  2. I am way outnumbered myself since deciding to live CF, there are only a handful of us blogging. I was in a constant battle with my emotions and I realized I can be happy every day if I choose to.

    If you EVER need to talk, just FB me and we can exchange numbers. (((HUGS)))

  3. (Hugs) I understand how you feel too. I think IVF is the only way it will happen for us, and that is so far away, if we ever get to try it at all.

  5. I'm so so sorry J. I loathe IF too. I never forget how lucky I am and I pray that God has a child in store for you soon. I don't know why some of us "get" to become pregnant while others still struggle. You were always one of the fellow bloggers that I really connected with, it's hard for me to see you hurting. Praying for peace for you...

  6. (((HUGS))) I know the way you are feeling exactly. I just feel like I'm always in the lower % of women who cannot have children while everyone passes me by. DH is perfectly happy and content with no children, which totally bugs me. I would at least like to be a mom by adoption. DH just wants toys and you don't get toys with children. I love the new camper!! so jealous!
