My mother ha...Heyyy - I think I know how you feel. My mother has all this great chirpy advice and keeps TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!! If yo read my meltdown on dh the other day when he told me I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY - grr! Anyways, Mom started that little meltdown with her chirpy "you need to do this... don;t do this... you hubby is the greatest thing that ever happened to you" etc. blah blah.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it just frustration that we have to do so much, pay so much, go through so much, and endure so much, and still.. It's a gamble? Isn't that what it's all about - it's just not stinkin' fair!!<BR/><BR/>I feel it for you sweetie. You really must have needed that cry. Don't be afraid to tell her when to back off though, ok.NikkiMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347284743547928421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155850791084516082006-08-17T14:39:00.000-07:002006-08-17T14:39:00.000-07:00oh I hate when I meltdown like that.

All day and all night it'll continue each time I remember how I felt when a part of the convo that started the meltdown occured...its awful!!! I have SO been there girl and it ain't pretty! Glad your Mom was great with it all too!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09865839583273375141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155848996889807512006-08-17T14:09:00.000-07:002006-08-17T14:09:00.000-07:00That would be really hard!

It is easy for him to say because he has children (you) but when faced at the possiblity of life without children it definitely is not that cut and dry. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you feel better now that you got that out. You will survive IVF - money worries, hormones and all. The worst part is when it doesn't work. If it would just work I think it would be a good process and I am positive it is about a million times easier than parenthood will be. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418041735007521091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155838221287681012006-08-17T11:10:00.000-07:002006-08-17T11:10:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry you had such a rough time at your par...I'm so sorry you had such a rough time at your parents! It all weighs down on you until you break under the pressure from time to time. That is completely normal. I know you're ready to start treatments so you can hopefully make a baby. Just try to do what you can to get mentally and physically ready. As hard as it is, try to go in with a positive attitude and be thankful you have these options that can still make you pregnant!<BR/><BR/>I know I'm giving you advice and I apologize for that. Treatments are stressful, so it's best to go into it as mentally ready as possible. I know the feelings you're going through! Good luck, I hope things start to feel happier for you very soon! Just know that everyone who reads your post knows you are not crazy or hormonal. Your feelings are completely valid!hope548https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951199252401108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155831998426532122006-08-17T09:26:00.000-07:002006-08-17T09:26:00.000-07:00I hope you feel better after venting.

(We told them after our first failed cycle.)<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your mom reacted well, and your dad is probably just trying to cover all the bases... you know how men can be!<BR/><BR/>I hope you are hanging in there... we'll be rooting for you along the way!Hopeful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339776324264791028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155829016151817152006-08-17T08:36:00.000-07:002006-08-17T08:36:00.000-07:00It is great that you have people that you could me...It is great that you have people that you could meltdown in front of. We are still in a kind of "no tell" phase and it is really hard. Everytime someone makes comments about us having children I feel like I', about to have a breakdown there and than. We are planning our IVF/ICSI #1 either August/Sep or Sep/Oct cycle.

Maybe you can give your Mom some pointers to give him? <BR/><BR/>I'm glad your Mom was so sweet! It is nice to have someone behind you like that.BigP's Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124157582246972372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155821001671181622006-08-17T06:23:00.000-07:002006-08-17T06:23:00.000-07:00Sometimes a good cry can be very helpful!Sorry tha...Sometimes a good cry can be very helpful!<BR/><BR/>Sorry that your eyes were so swollen though!GLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146524259296901512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31275057.post-1155782306111098042006-08-16T19:38:00.000-07:002006-08-16T19:38:00.000-07:00Did you feel better after you got it all out?
