Gender reveal

[Bobbyblue41]

Been to a gender reveal this evening. It started at 2pm and I still have a lump in my throat. Most un-enjoyable thing I’ve experienced in a very long time. No one knows we’ve been trying to conceive for the last two years. We’ve kept things very private and just make it seem like life is in the way. I’m happy for them but I’m not. I’m sure everyone knows what I mean. I really wish I didn’t go but it was a close family member and would have been extremely hard to get out of it.

sorry just needed a rant 😢 x

@Bobbyblue41 - that’s tough. You won’t always feel this way but for now this totally sucks.

You need to do what’s right for you - but it may make sense in time if you do share with trusted people who can support you as you go through this. You no doubt have loved ones you’d be glad to support and I imagine it’s vice versa.

hope the next few days are better.

My advice would be to share your infertility with closes family members and don't go to these things. It is mental torture and if your family care about you, they will understand. Hope you feel better soon xx

Sorry your going through the motions too! I completely get it, I went to a 1st birthday party yesterday and felt like I want to leave the whole time then cried the whole way home! I've also been invited to a baby shower this weekend coming but I've already decided I don't want to go and feel them feelings again so I'm putting my feelings first for once! Sending baby dust to you xx
