Ok I know IABU. I am happy for those people who are successfully pregnant but I am having a bad day and I can feel the warning signs of AF and its over a week till I should be getting it. It seems like everywhere I look there is a happy pregnant woman or a beautiful little baby.

Rah!!! Not at them but at me for being broken!

Right will pick myself back up now

I know how you feel, and I know IABU about this too, but I had high hopes this month! Have a manly pat on the shoulder and a glass of wine from me! Wine

Honeybee79 · 17/03/2011 17:09

I also know you how you feel though def don't want to be pregnant right now.

pjmama · 17/03/2011 17:09

YANBU. I've been where you are and it's heartbreaking, so you're allowed to feel like this!

I was so conflicted - on the one hand thrilled for every friend who announced their pregnancy, but also wanting to run and hide my head under the duvet and cry at the same time!

Let me send you a hug

Cymar · 17/03/2011 17:10

I'll join you because I'm not pregnant and have no intention of getting pg again. So here have a
Biscuit
Brew

Dunk and munch Smile

harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 17:11

YANBU and I'm glad you've noticed too!!

I had a mmc 8 weeks ago and ttc again, but think I can feel af it's way.

I sucks!!

Catnao [reciprocal manly pat]

I need to stop looking at "celeb" news stories too. Does being famous make you more fertile I wonder?

Im with you 100%. bumps, bumps everywhere, but still not one for me

madonnawhore · 17/03/2011 17:13

I know how you feel.

I really wish one day it would happen to me :(

ChaoticAngelofAnarchy · 17/03/2011 17:14

YANBU

Btw I'm not pregnant either but, then again, if I was it would have to be an immaculate conception Hmm

jaffacake79 · 17/03/2011 17:14

It completely sucks ass!

Am in the same boat, although last month I did have a faint positive for 2 days but then af turned up anyway. Sick and tired of it!!!

TeacupTempest · 17/03/2011 17:14

wow hugs, biscuits, tea and manly pats! thank you all, I was expecting more of a bracing slap round the cheek to snap me out of the self pity!

I'm not even trying and I agree that the whole world is pg or recently sprogged ATM. Very best of luck for everyone feeling this way for getting upduffed before summer, because as I recall it's even worse then (because random pg women on the street are more obvious).

TeacupTempest · 17/03/2011 17:16

You spend most of your life avoiding pregnancy like the plague. Think of all the money that could have been saved on contraception. tsk!

OP posts:
Catnao · 17/03/2011 17:18

I also had this weird idea that because I got pregnant with my son (more than a decade ago) by LOOKING at my partner, just about Wink that things would be the same now...I was mistaken, clearly!

Really pissed off about the decade of pregnancy avoiding measures now! Pours self a large glass of Wine.

Catnao · 17/03/2011 17:18

Ha! Cross post with you re contraception teacuptempest!

TeacupTempest · 17/03/2011 17:21

Wine, cheese, pate and oysters all round!!!

GwendolineMaryLacey · 17/03/2011 17:23

Me too. Should be 19 weeks today. Should be looking forward to my 20 week scan and finding out whether to ditch dd's baby clothes or not.

harassedinherpants · 17/03/2011 17:24

I've got 3 dc's already ages 21, 19 & 4 and got prg first time with all of them.

Stupid me for expecting the same this time round! Am just waiting for af, but may test tomorrow if still a no show.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 17/03/2011 17:25

Fingers crossed for you x

VajazzHands · 17/03/2011 17:28

I was there a year ago. Am now cuddling a snuggly 7 week old. It does happen some of us just have to wait a bit longer :)

ClaireDeLoon · 17/03/2011 17:34

YANBU

In fact everyone in the world has been continually pregnant for the last 3 and a half bloody years.

Catnao · 17/03/2011 17:40

Think I might eat some peanuts and some unpasteurised cheese, because I CAN! (bet they're not even banned these days!)

Catnao · 17/03/2011 17:41

Also, I am assuming AF is period but what does it stand for??

TeacupTempest · 17/03/2011 17:43

Uh hideously I think it refers to Aunt Flo......could be wrong though!

OP posts:
VajazzHands · 17/03/2011 17:43

Aunt Flo! she's come to visit
