| I am trying hard not to be really bitter about other people I know getting pregnant but it's becoming increasingly difficult. If they are people I really like, or people who have undergone some kind of fertility problem, I am genuinely happy... but for people who I don't like as much, especially, I am developing this EXTREME bitterness and I know it's really a problem to think like that. I just can't snap out of it. |

What is your ttc story?! |

| It's so bad! I am purposefully not congratulating someone on facebook today for no other reason that I'm being a bitch. I have stage 4 endo and have been ttc for 3 mos, which I know isn't long.. I think it's just the knowledge that it's going to be a really long process and that's if it ever does happen, which maybe it won't. It's driving me absolutely insane. How about you? |

Hey, I"m with you. REally bitter. I've had 3 iuis, 4 ivfs, two early miscarriages, two second trimester losses (one at 23 weeks). I try not to make snarky comments, but really, do I need to hear that my husband's cousin's two month old will be brilliant b/c unemployed mom is teaching the baby a foreign language and read as well? Or the woman next door who has three babies and two mercedes, but wants me to recommend her husband for a job, b/c he (both of them) are unemployed?
OK, that felt good. I keep too much bottled up! |

| I've been where you are and felt bitter but one thing I have to say is you never know how hard that couple tried to get pregnant--they might have had to struggle as you have. I got pregnant through IVF (currently in 2nd trimester) and I know that I may be the target of some bitterness now from others but they have no idea how much I struggled. |

Ooops posted by accident too early!
It makes me so bitter reading about it on Facebook- I just hide them completely. I don't want to see or hear about it. I'm probably going to have to to IVF alone with a sperm doner. I don't want to read about their happy family!!! Barf. |

You are bitter after 3 months of TTC? I wonder what you'd be like after 5 years of TTC and still no baby?? |

PP, if you have been trying for five years, that must just be awful. In defense of OP, I think it can be a really individula thing as to when the emotional aspects hit you the hardest. I've been trying for a couple of years now and found the first few months after we discovered there was a problem to be the absolute hardest in terms of having hard feelings towards others around me. Once I got into the groove of treatments, I really dealt with my emotions in a healthier way that has reduced (if not eliminated) bitterness. Maybe it just comes and goes? |

| PP, yes, I've been trying for 5 years, but I am not bitter. I learned how to deal with my feelings too. Because it's not all about me, others have problems too. Even if they get pregnant easily. |

| I am bitter about my friend who has two kids, and recently had a "oops". That is what she calls it. She is due in eight months, and I could care less. |
