Do you feel angry you are having to go through this process to have a baby? That you have had to suffer losses? That other people, including those who don't even want kids, have babies easily while we still wait for one precious child?
I am really working on accepting things now to let go the bitterness/anger/resentment I do feel- it certainly doesn't bring out the best in me, and it doesn't enhance my life at all... it's hard to just calmly accept though I find....I think I have more acceptance now than I did at first, I guess we just learn to, because to fight and rant and be mad about it all just takes too much energy...and negativity is too draining after a while.
I am trying to find the positives in the experience, and be glad I have the chance for a baby at all...that DH and I are closer as a result, that when it does happen we will appreciate it so much more etc. That life could be worse, and in many ways we are lucky with a nice home, two wonderful dogs, financially secure etc, loving family and friends...
That said, when I see certain things I still feel pretty mad and sorry for myself.
I come out with some pretty angry comments sometimes...
