Feeling shitty right now and don't even know why. Rationally I'm far enough away from our infertility stuff to accept it, but today I just feel so raw. CD 1 is happening at any second and I'm weepy and feeling sorry for myself.

thank you my friends. I woke up with a brighter outlook (and horrible fucking cramps) and I'm just going to be nice to myself today. And later I am going to eat a fat fucking burrito.

Somebody send hugs and vodka. Thanks.
/pity party.
Oh sweetie, no, no you are not. An IF diagnosis sucks and there is no time line on when you will come to acceptance. Be gentle on yourself and do not beat yourself up if you have a bad day or days.
I've said this before but it bears repeating: it took me 8 years to come to peace with my IF diagnosis. I'm not saying that every day was a bad day but there was a moment of very clear acceptance and peace with what my future was - and a lot of sucky random days in between.
Just like mourning your losses, this is another loss and it takes time.
Lots of (((hugs))) and I'm passing a bottle of belvedere your way.

Oh Liz! I'm so sorry you are feeling so blue. We can have a duel pity party and get drunk and eat all the shitty feel good food. So many ((((hugs)))) for all the shitty shit and just because you're awesome.

Hey - don't worry guys! Shit got way better when my H broke a valve in our basement and I am without water for 24 hours, waiting on an emergency plumber! At least I'm not sad about my fertility anymore.
In all honesty, I do feel better. I have to remind myself (or have therealbug, remind me) that grief is not linear, and that this is a lifelong process. I just have all the feels about this lately and being super hormonal and "late" doesn't help.
We are NTNP from now on, and I convinced myself that we had amazing timing this past month on our cruise and stupidly got my hopes up. Now that I'm three days "late" I a.) broke out the wondfos- all BFNs of course b.) am kicking myself for not temping c.) kicking myself even harder for getting my hopes up and d.) am hormonal as fuck because I'm about to get my period.
I just need to get through this hard time and come out on the other side. Thanks for listening - you guys are always there to pick me up. xo

(((hugs))) for you lady! I'm glad you're in a better headspace now...minus the water situation. Eep! Hope that gets fixed quickly! As much as we tell ourselves grief isn't linear, when those rises and falls happen, they're shitty to deal with, no matter what. We're always here to listen and help you get to the other side - even if that means picking you up and carrying you.
