[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe how entitled you all sound. The world doesn't owe you a baby, and everyone around you can't stop having babies just because you waited til 40 to start trying. Grow up.[/quote]

Actually I think this is the least entitled "others are pregnant and I'm not" posts I've ever seen on DCUM[/quote]

Just want to add, showing intial emotion (jealousy, surprise, etc) isn't entitled. Entitled would be asking for a different nurse because they couldn't have a pregnant one, complaining to the office manager that it was insensitive to have pregnant nurses and insist they either be hidden from patients or put on leave.  Those are entitled. Having a normal emotional reaction that you keep to yourself is NOT entitled. [/quote]

I don't think it's a normal emotional reaction. I always bite my tongue when I see these posts because they seem so incredibly mean spirited. You feel bad because someone else is pregnant -- something that would bring you yourself joy? That is so sick to me. It's hateful. Because you are suffering with infertility doesn't mean you should be feeling that way toward other women.

Maybe take a step back from DCUM. It does bring out the dark side of people.[/quote]

That's how I thought until I had 2 miscarriages, 2 subsequent D&Cs and 1 chemical within the past 9 months at the ripe old age of 28. I went to my best friends baby shower this weekend and I was bewildered by how non-chalant she and the other mothers there were about their kids and pregnancies. There are people that conceive easily AND get to keep their babies? Just like that? Meanwhile I'm taking hormones and injecting myself with blood thinners every day and anxiously awaiting what is now an elusive BFP.

Anyway, the anguish of infertility is nothing you can imagine until you have experienced it. You may think you get it but you really don't. [/quote]
