While we are SOOOO excited to be welcoming a new child into our lives again, IF still stings. The thing that stings most is when people get pregnant easily. Say they get their BFP on the first try or without even trying... it sucks.
It does not help that I work with Pregnant Teenagers (side note - I LOVE my job but sometimes it hurts) because it reminds me everyday how it is so easy for some while others suffer. Actually I LOVE hearing stories of women who had success after IFor are currently on that Trouble TTC journey, b/c I feel connected to them... we lived that. But when women who are pregnant say to me, I did not even know I was pregnant or we got our BFP on the first try I feel like I have nothing in common at all and basically want to stop the conversation there.
I have been struggling lately, yes we are getting closer to meeting our daughter that we try sooo hard for but I guess knowing this will be my last pregnancy (more then likely) it makes me sad.
I keep telling myself that I am blessed, VERY BLESSED! and that their life is not my life we all have different journeys and were we end up might me the same maybe not.

I don't think IF ever really leaves you, even if you have 1, 2 or 4 kids. I already feel sad knowing that this DE cycle may produce our only child. Don't get me wrong, I'll be ecstatic to have 1, but it's just sad to think that the only way we can have more is to fork over 1,000s of dollars. ((HUGS))
IF leaves a big old footprint on you that never ever goes away. It doesn't matter how long its been or how many children you finally have, infertility permanently changes the way you perceive things. Congrats on your pregnancy and {{{hugs}}}.
I am with the others, IF seems to stay with you.
Enjoy the rest of your PG... it goes by so fast.
Take care

Here from ICLW! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy, I always wonder if this pregnancy will be my only.
All the best!
Please don't feel bad for your feelings. Of course you're thankful for your daughter and your pregnancy, but like you said, it still hurts. I'm sure it'll always hurt. HUGS and congrats on your little girl!
