Strength…
Help me. Two more friends who are pregnant. Both considerate enough to email me gently, but even so… I am left feeling like a failure once again. Why does it have to hurt like this? Please make it go away. I feel so alone.

Oh sweetheart. I wish I could make it go away. You aren’t a failure and I know how much it stings, even when it is done as considerately and gently as possible. I know I’ve heard pregnancy announcements in public and smiled and been genuinely happy and interested. Then gone home and just howled. Because I want it so much and I’m so frightened that it will never be me.
Sending love and strength to you. xo

Oh my friend… I can so relate… It’s frustrating and so depressing to hear about others who seem to have little trouble getting pregnant, and it’s so hard not to wonder what’s wrong with us. As happy as I am for them, it’s easy to slip into the “Why not me??? What’s wrong with me???” thinking. I’ve stopped reading a few LJ friends, or asked them to put their pregnancy talk behind a cut so I can read it if I’m able to. And I’m looking to stop reading a couple of other blogs because the author (she writes two) got pregnant within three months of trying. :’(
We’re not failures, though. And even though I know getting stressed about it isn’t going to make getting pregnant any easier, it’s hard not to feel like a failure, or flawed or something.
Steve and I have our next appointment with our fertility specialist/gyne on Wednesday, so maybe we’ll figure out our next steps then. I want to try accupuncture, and I want to start getting more active again (feeling very chubby right now), so maybe that’ll help.
Hang in there, love. ***hugs*** We’re in the same boat. (That may not make you feel much better, but it’s true and I’m here for you)

Sweetie, you are NOT a failure. I’m so sorry you’re going through this pain, and I just wish so much I could fix it for you. You’re always in my thoughts, my dear. (((hugs)))

You are certainly NOT a failure sweetheart, and it breaks my heart to know how sad and alone you feel. You are not alone as you have some special friends to support you on this blog, and you know how much you are loved and supported by me. But I know none of it makes up for how you feel – how could it? I just hope and pray it will be your turn to feel the joy soon. I love you (((hugs)))

Sarah, I am so sorry you’re having a rough day. You are such a sweet and wonderful person. I wish I could take it all away. I know the failure feeling all too well. And I wish I had magic words to make you, and myself for that matter, realize that we are not. But sadly I don’t so I will just remind you that you are not alone, never alone and we are here for you. xoxo
