Am usually ok with the whole thing; Mrs Positivity is absolutely great, etc.

But today I woke up at 6am and have just stayed in bed as I can't put my happy face on yet.

I'm just tired. 3 yrs ttc. Metformin, Clomid, am starting IVF soon.
Everything else in my life is brilliant, so I have told myself that nobody gets everything, that I am luckier than most, etc. I do actually feel this way usually. But today I feel flat and tired and sad.

All my friends are pregnant or have had babies. Am not exaggerating when I say I have had at least two (close) announcements of pregnancies a week for the last 6 weeks. I have bought presents, made cakes for christenings, laughed off ever-increasing comments about our childlessness.

Arghhh! Am just feeling sorry for myself! Need a kick up the ass. Have a 1st birthday party to go to today of a little boy whom I adore, so I need to get smiling and stop wallowing. Help!!!

(just read that back and have annoyed myself at how pathetic it is)

Not pathetic. I could almost have written your post word for word (with a few less preg announcements in recent weeks but there is a new wave coming..) I'm two and half years in and getting ready for ivf too. Everything else in life is spot on. It doesn't stop it being hard or sad. Now, I'm supposed to be cheering you up! I think all I can say is that you aren't alone by any means even if it feels like that. You are an amazing person for going to the party and being so lovely to your friends and your day will come. It's just a pity we don't know when that is. Sending out empathy. You should keep in touch, no doubt ill be loitering on the assisted conception boards late summer/autumn.

It's not pathetic at all, I used to have days like that frequently (4yrs ttc). Be kind to yourself, it's perfectly normal. Big non-MN hugs x
