Vanessa,

Welcome sweetie. Have you considered using donor sperm? There is hope for us older girls I've seen it happen on this very forum. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

And yes, it's kinda like buying a new car, all of a sudden you see the same car everywhere. I think everyone is pregnant but me so I can totally relate!!!

It just makes us so much more aware of what's around us. Yesterday at 7-11 I saw a baby in the car all by herself!!! Who would leave a baby in a car ALONE?!?!? Yes, we notice EVERYTHING in this situation.

Love,
Julie

I see pg women everywhere, even in my classes at school. Every single one of them! I seriously can't go anywhere. My grandfather passed away almost a month ago and even at his funeral I saw a pg women and I just wanted to tell her to get out! It doesn't matter where I am or what I am doing, I am going to notice the only pg woman within 10 blocks of me!

I didn't think anyone else felt this way! It is really hard to go to walmart around here, I see tons of pregnant women walking around in their maternity clothes with big smiles, usually with 1 or 2 other kids already. The worst for me is at the gynos office, I have to go quite frequently for all my "conditions" and it really hurts sitting in a waiting room for an hour surrounded by pregnant ladies. I can't even turn on the tv to escape it, they're everywhere.

Hey there - Just wanted you to know that your quote under your signature is a Maori proverb. It's a good one, have always liked it.

Cool! Thanks for letting me know, it's one of my mom's favorites and I always liked it too-neither one of us knew where it came from though.

I don't have any pregant friends or family at the MOMENT, but it does seem like every person we know and every person we see out and about has 2 kids. 2 seems to be the magic number-- tonight I had dinner with a friend for her birthday- her 2 children and 5 more of her friends with 2 kids each. Why oh why did I go to that dinner? Actually all kids were cute and well behaved, but it is torture nonetheless.

I am new to this website, but my HB and I have been trying for about a little over 2 years (married 7 years). We have been seeing a fertility MD for almost a year and found out it is my HB. This is very hard and I am really hating being around pregnant people. I do not attend baby showers and have already volunteered to take call for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays so I can avoid family. Then today....we just found out that my HB sister is pregnent who just got married 30 days ago. I am really hating life............

There was a girl at work who I found out was pregnant in December, EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT!!!! She had never said a word to anyone, she had not even told her parents, she was not in any relationship, and she showed no excitement about anything. A month later one of my coworkers was like "oh, we're having a baby shower tomorrow. She doesn't have anything for the baby." Everyone at work knows what I've been going through TTC, and this woman just kept going on and on about this baby shower. I almost exploded! All these months this girl has been going on road trips, buying expensive purses, and hanging out with her friends who party, and these people want me to feel bad that she hasn't stocked her nursery? I feel like I'm losing my mind, every time I hear someone complain about pregnancy, or how they have no life since they had a baby, I just want to scream at them "don't you know how lucky you are??? -what a precious gift you have been given? You don't even appreciate it!" -Oh, and that coworker, she gave birth in January, and next week, she's dropping the baby off at her mothers and taking a week long trip to Disneyland with her friends.
