one of my cousins just gave birth...

... another is pregnant.
Both are sisters. Both got pregnant with in a month of getting married.

It's sad, but I hadn't heard from the one who gave birth in over 15 years so of course the first thing I get in 15 years is a Christmas Card with a picture of her newborn plastered on the front with all the info of his birth in beautiful caligraphy inside.

And of course I get this today; the day I get my

I have been trying so hard to keep positive and I think I have done well. We are not giving up, we will have a child.

But this hurt worse than anything.

This is the second Christmas card with pictures of little ones staring up at me.
I'm waiting for an "I'm pregnant!" card next.
Ugh, I shouldn't be that way *think positive*

Thank you!
Good luck to you as well!

ugh

I am so sorry that you received that today... It is hard to see people with their babies when we have JUST received not so good news.... I do believe though that being able to celebrate somebody else's getting what we want, is a good thing, and will be returned to us. Even if it hurts... The day after my last failed IUI, while at the fertility doctors to discuss my next step, the new lady who works there went on and on about being pregnant with twins... AT A FERTILITY CLINIC! She even went as far as to ask if I wanted to see the ultrasound.. What do I say? And, another lady who works there, just that day too started her period after having ET... Some people do not get it, even the ones who should get it!
I do not understant it, is it not fair, but what choice do I have but to accept it...
So hang in there, may this be the year for you!

I have tried to be happy for others, but it's just so hard and right now too soon. Had this come maybe next year I probably would be fine, but the same day I get the news it didn't work just... hurt.
It felt like a slap in the face. I know that was not the intention but...
That's pretty insensitive to flaunt it in a fertility clinic! When I went in for transfer, the lady who read the ultra sound for the doctor is very pregnant. She at least didn't flaunt it. I wanted to ask about it; how far long, does she know the gender... the usual "Hey how nice for you" questions but I couldn't.
I'm trying to stay positive and hope for the best, but when things like this come up it makes it so tough.

Thank you
