I'm 38 and Starting IVF and struggling to cope. Very tearful and angry with the world (totally unreasonable I know), but I am.
I think things have been complicated by 3 close friends announcing their recent pregnancies (all my age or older and all got pregnant in 1st 3 months of trying).
3 days ago my sister in law had a baby, yesterday we had our main IVF appointment. We told our in laws what we were going through last week. I didn't so much as get a text to wish me well or ask how I was from any of the in laws.
I am also in despair at how to visit the baby. I totally wrongly feel consumed with anger and envy at the timings of things and am struggling to manage my emotions. I didn't attend the baby shower which caused ill feelings. How do I visit this baby- I know I will dissolve into tears and I'm not sure how I'll get through it, but it has to be done. At the moment I can't even get through a day in work without crying- it's so overwhelming.
Any wisdom on dealing with this?x
