    I am so glad that this thread has been started! Oh the times i have needed the support of others going through the same thing. Both my sister, SIL and many friends are/or have had conception issues or ivf.... The ups and downs have been amazing. Sometimes it has been like hitting my head up against a brick wall None of this is said to be disrespectful to what they are going through infertility, but this is why this thread was started wasnt it, so those of us that are going through this journy with them can offer a sympathetic ear???

    At times i feel that my kids and i have been punished for the fact that i could fall naturally and easily.....by the sisters, by our parents and mutual friends. The emotional withdrawal is so upsetting.... i hate having to tell these loved ones that i am pregnant again, i feel horrible when i say "hay i have news", and they are like "oh what your pregnant AGAIN???" and i could have been about to say we are moving house....

    I want to help, i want to be supportive but i just dont have a clue..... whatever i do seems to end up being seen as insensitive even if appreciated at the time..... Is it just the hormones or is it me???

    I pride myself on being a kind, understanding person but i feel somewhat drained at the moment...

    am i a bad person to be thinking these things?
