3 rounds of IVF, all failed. Currently in forced menopause prior to round 4 (potentially final). Went out for a very close friend's birthday yesterday (new mum), it was organised by her oldest friend (also new mum) who normally lives overseas but is home because of the baby, so I don't know her well at all. All other attendees at the party I know, but not close (all are mums) Every single conversation was about being a mum ....... how hard it is ...... how amazing it is ....... let me show you pictures of my baby ....... if I could give you one piece of advice it would be not to have them .... just baby centred. I hardly said 2 words the whole afternoon and no-one really bothered to include me in the conversation. Today I just feel shit, cried in the car outside the supermarket. Then to add insult to injury, my DSS (13) made a 'harmless' remark durning a discussion with with DH and I, that 'well technically speaking you aren't a parent. I was tempted to drive my car into a wall on the way home. AIBU to let this upset me so much? I'm just sick of feeling like this, I literally have no resilience left.
