Especially about friends. Fortunatly I have kept 6 girlfriends in the loop and most have been awesome. but I too have pulled away from a lot of people because of the reaos you described - not just 'what if they get pregnant and i cant hide my emotions' but also - what if i get a phone call, need to do my shot, have to cacel cause of an apt, etc. it is hard to spend time with people who arent in the loop, and sometimes i would rather be alone.<br /><br />I am so glad that you are feeling some hope and faith in all of this! I like how you point out that you are OK with not being able to be fully happy right now. That makes sense. Maybe some day some of us will have to be happy without kids, but now is not the time and we know that at leastfor now we cant be truely joyful without this vision completed<br /><br />hugs!

I sometimes want to blame my friends for not being supportive at times...but then there is times where they dont know what to say or say the wrong thing. Then again ppl can be harsh and that is the reason I pull away. When you said you are putting your happiness on hold...it almost brought tears to my eyes. This struggle is extremely painful and even if I try to put my happiness first it never works.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412370930767709093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-26583417759019084682013-03-18T21:12:58.752-04:002013-03-18T21:12:58.752-04:00I don't even know what to say expect that I un...I don't even know what to say expect that I understand how you feel...and can relate to all of it. As much as I'd like to blame my friends for "bailing on me", I know I am responsible as well. Sigh. No easy answers.

I think what you said is true. On one hand, people just don't know what to say or how to respond, but in many ways it's just easier for them not to deal with it at all, because it's "uncomfortable" for them. One day, I hope we can join the cool club and just be NORMAL! Even then, I have a feeling I will still resent women who have it so easy. This infertility journey will just always be a part of me now. You can't go through this and not have it affect your life in a very big way.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415140299306373048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-21698600326479509602013-03-18T18:47:19.832-04:002013-03-18T18:47:19.832-04:00Love the shoes :)

And the ones that support me, it's just not the same going through it with another person. <br /><br />P.S.

I feel like everyone is moving forward with life and here I am stuck in the same 4 year rut! I'm sick of pretending to be happy, that everything is okay because it's not! I love a life of darkness right now and somehow I'm surviving! Surviving in silence because I can't face people's comments or judgements. I want to be that positive patty in life but infertility is holding me back. My faith... What is that again? I don't even know where to start with it! Is it possible to be mad at God? We should talk, I feel as though we would feel better gettingthis hostility off our chests and be able to actually understand each other with ease. In this world of being isolated by our uterusesAshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06447163069132663859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-2736740750427866042013-03-18T14:12:31.876-04:002013-03-18T14:12:31.876-04:00Though it took you awhile to open up to your frien...Though it took you awhile to open up to your friends about your struggles, I am and always have been an open book with my friends... and a handful of them have still disappeared over the last several years, mostly because they don't know what to say, so they just say nothing. You are right that it goes both ways, but it sure would be helpful if EVERYONE understood how this kind of thing feels!<br /><br />I hope your fancy new kicks bring you some happiness :)the blogivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625021727803459360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033610836184814981.post-76586135823449913432013-03-18T13:51:41.800-04:002013-03-18T13:51:41.800-04:00Dude.
