I'm Currently Feeling:  | Is it just me who keeps looking at the Birth Stories?
Why do I do it? I can't help myself....I keep going over to read the BFP announcements and the Birth Stories! Why? Am I the only one who does that?
Whilst I am very pleased for everybody, a baby is a miracle, a real blessing...I just wonder what makes me go there? I need to stop!
Still waiting for Cycle Day 1 to start my IVF..........first time I ever wanted it to come!!! | | | | Status: Offline

| I don't look at ultrasound pics and I don't read the birth stories. I read other bits, but if I'm honest it's the general chat and girly sanctuary that I go to the most.
I've been TTC for a long time now and had 3 losses. As happy as I am for everyone, sometimes Iget a bit too upset reading stuff. As for general TTC, these ladies are full of optimism and quite frankly I don't want to be pessimistic around them, you know? I don't want to upset anyone with my whinging....though I'm sure that I probably have. I do post there more often than here though |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I look at the photo gallery with baby pictures all the time. They are SOOO cute and I go from , "Awww....they are so cute," to, "I wish I had my own" to a couple of tears....so I try to avoid it, but it's hard!  |

Still waiting for Cycle Day 1 to start my IVF..........first time I ever wanted it to come!!! | I do this too!!! For some reason I feel almost a complusion to see photos of BFP's!! and I love reading the birth stories I then start thinking about whats my labour going to be like and then the next minute think I can't go through that i'll die!!! I take the comfort from that fact that as I'm so interested in reading the stories that deep down I haven't given up hope of being pregnant one day. However there are some days I can't read them and I just wanted to say that I completely understand why others would find these upsetting and steer clear.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used to, but am finding the longer this jouney goes on the more I can't do it. As much as I am happy for other people, the green streak of jealousy gets me and I get too upset. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I go look as well. Some of the babies are just beautiful for words. But sorry i try and stay away from the ultrasound pic's as those are the only pic's i have of my son. So it hurts looking at those.  |
