Facebook is my enemy!

[HoneyBees]

Oh my goodness.

A friend of mine has just posted a 12 week scan photo of his and announced they are expecting on 25th Dec.

In the comments underneath his stupid wife has put 'I'm in still in shock, what a surprise this has been for both of us'.

We're on cycle 12 now and am really hating comments like this!

Rrrrrrraaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Evil, evil, pure bloody evil!


Sorry ladies, rant over!


BABY DUST TO ALL!


xXx

I was always able to share my friends happiness for a new baby even when I was going through my mc and while TTC.
Somehow it never caused me any sadness?
And yes for lots of people is a surprise but it's still a very welcomed baby
I would say if it bothers you better stay away from Facebook as it always seems to be full of baby photos etc. they are just people sharing their happy moments really...
One day that will be you

Sometimes it feels like a little stab to the heart when you see the latest announcement and once again it's not you. But it doesn't last long, I keep it to myself and then I can share in their excitement.

I hate pregnancy announcement's and baby's being born. I'm sooooo jelous on Facebook and with friends and family...... one day it will be our turn i just keep telling myself that! x

 

[jojo3972]

yes i always feel sad when i see anouncements i dont begrudge ppl happiness far from it i just feel sad for myself and it brings it all back i try to unsubscribe from baby gaga n the like so i dont see them and for ppl that i dont know well (have a lot of ppl for game reasons lol) i unsubscribe from there status updates xx

 

[netty]

oh yeah it hurts like hell............but doesnt make them stupid

 

[jojo3972]

oh god no think maybe she worded that a bit wrong with anger maybe xx

It is tough to hear others happy announcements especially when they weren't trying. Although Close Friends I can share in their happiness right from the start. Facebook friends I just skim past or unsubscribe to their threads too!

HoneyBees I hate this too. The best thing to do is hide their posts - you'll be so glad you did! It's a normal feeling when it seems to come so easy for others when you are trying so hard. Flippant comments hurt so bad. The one I hate is 'wait til you have kids'. Yeah, I've been waiting over 2 years thanks! Grrrrr.

Call her stupid all you want hun, this is the place to rant!! It's not like she will be reading this xxx

We were trying for 10 years and when I got my bfp it was the biggest shock of my bloody life lol. If Johnny Depp was stood in front of me stark naked with his bits tied in a bow I would have been less shocked.....a girl can dream lol

 

[Sunbeam638]

Even when I mc'd I felt it was a conspiracy seeing friends announce their pregnancies but I was really happy for them still when you want something you look out for it and see it everywhere ie it's like a baby boom everywhere you go!

I never announced my pg on FB or have discussed it with anyone on there mainly because I'd rather talk it through on here

I'd say either limit their posts or stay away from FB until you feel it won't upset you anymore. Hope you get you bfp soon x

I was the same way for a very long time honey.... I MCed in 2007 and had been angry for a couple years. I thought its just not fair that they weren't even TRYING and yet got pregnant. Baby announcement after baby announcement I got angry. I had a friend whose little sister (14 years old) got pregnant. I was furious that this CHILD who shouldn't have been pregnant was. She gave birth to the baby and shortly after birth the precious angel died. I'm not sure of the details and couldn't bring myself to ask the grieving mother. She dropped out of high school because she was pregnant and is now working at McDonald's. This child is going to have a much more difficult life ahead of her and is now grieving the loss of her baby. I think this made me realize that these little lives must be appreciated no matter if I am upset that I am having a hard time conceiving. I realized I was not angry at others but instead angry at myself. Being angry at yourself only hurts you and makes you unhappy. From all this I came to terms with the fact that life is not the same for everyone and that we all have our trials and tribulations to go through.

Life really is too short to be angry at others for their blessings. Xx

C'mon you guys....of course I don't mean she's stupid.

I would've said the same about anyone, whether I know them or not.
Thats what a spurr of the moment is!

It's stupid that there are soooo many of us trying our damned hardest with OPKs, C+, preseed, temp reading, charting etc etc etc and then someone who doesn't want anymore kids than she already has, has a mistake and gets pregnant!

Of course they're really happy even so and i'm happy for them.

It's just so unfair!

One thing I can honestly say is that I will NOT be putting my scan pics or announcing my pregnancy on Facebook for the sake of the people who are trying!

Close friends and family will be told by us anyway!

 

[Rayxxx123]

Wen i see peoples scan pics i burst into tears everytime it feels like my heart aches. i HATE facebook but cant seem to stop myself from lookin. doesnt meen we arent happy 4 them deep down. I jus get so jealous jus wishin mine was still in there! And it does seem unfair wen people hav accidental pregnancys and we are wanting it so much x

 

[Sarah85]

I was the same when trying guys but once I saw a post of a friends scan in front of another friend and I burst out crying. My friend then told me how she knew they had been trying for three years and this was the month they'd actually given up. Made me realise that we never know what goes on behind closed doors.

Just seen another announcement on Facebook, happy for them but super jealous x
