Yesterday morning, I received an email from a very good friend of mine, inviting a group of women (including my sister) to go hiking over memorial day weekend. Luckily, I will be out of town, because she mentioned that it would be an easy hike because half of the invitees are pregnant. Obviously, my sister is one of the pregnant ones, and obviously, I am not. I know my friend isn't pregnant, and another mutual friend is probably not pregnant (since I think she's done having kids), so the other mutual friend is pregnant, as well as other woman whom I haven't met (although I know her husband). The two pregnant women who are not my sister were married sometime in the last few years. They are younger than me. They are PREGNANT. Everyone in the group will be pregnant or already has kids. Thank goodness I already had a reason to decline, since I didn't want to seem petty, but I really don't see how I could spend time with a group of women when that many of them are pregnant. Ugh.
And then last night I went to my weekly game night. I'm generally the only woman there, and another friend who got married a few months before me comes occasionally but not every week. He was there last night, and happily announced his wife's pregnancy.
I am getting frustrated with the timing of things as well. I just checked, and we sent in our donor embryo application a month ago. I was so excited that we were doing something! And here it is, a month later, and nothing has really happened.
I'm sorry you're frustrated. Waiting is definitely the worst part. If only we all had limitless patience. And I don't blame you for not wanting to go on the hike - if the same occurred to me, and I didn't have any plans, I would have made up an excuse not to attend. Why put ourselves through the emotional ringer??? Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be easier to have patience if I hadn't seen my AMH drop from low but reasonable to dangerously low from October to March. Now that we're looking at not having a cycle until July at the earliest, it makes me so nervous that my AMH will be undetectable by then.
