So I thought I was doing well....
and thought I had healed (as much as I think I'll ever heal). My 2nd fresh IVF cycle recently failed... and right before Christmas my FET failed. 
My EDD would've been April 14th, and I keep getting things in the mail (which I'm not fully understanding either, because I think I only signed up for 1 of those baby websites to get the calendar, etc... online and I updated the account to show I'm not pregnant anymore, right after my m/c...).
Last week formula came... actual formula- 2 cans.  I'm going to donate them to our church in hopes of helping someone who can't afford it... and today I got some packet in the mail that said "you don't need to tell anyone you're pregnant anymore as your baby bump says it all--- you're almost there!"  I immediately started at the mailbox.... it's like everything is coming back up to the surface.
I really thought by now I'd be pg again and even though I knew I'd have a hard time with the date approaching, at least I'd have a positive thing to focus on to help me get thru it. I feel like such a failure... Sorry... I really needed to vent and knew you girls would understand.

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
I'm so sorry
Your time WILL come soon. it's hard to get these little "reminders" from time to time but just keep in mind that you will be pregnant again and you will have a little bundle of joy to love and hold
We are here for you

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
Shannon, I am soooooo sorry
Honestly, I think for me, my due date was even harder for me that going through everything that I did with my ectopic.
For weeks and weeks after my due date, I was in the biggest hole that I have ever been in my life and I struggled alot to get out of it.
I too, figured I would be pregnant by the time my due date would have rolled around and I know for me, that made it worse.
I am sorry that you are feeling what you are feeling and if you need anything, you know I am always here

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
Thanks everyone I just hate this feeling... we've had a rough past month or so and I'm just not sure what our next steps are- and we've maxed out our lifetime infertilty coverage, so that's not helping. Today's no better..... this just sucks.

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that things have been so rough for you. I've seen your previous posts on these boards and wanted you to know that your obvious will and determination and the compassion you have for others people's struggles has truly been a presence and reminder to me that we're not alone and that we're here for each. Especially you now in your time of need. So sorry that things haven't been going well.

Wow, thank you. You just paid me quite a compliment, and I needed that today. 
 for all of us.

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
Despite my pleas to be taken off lists, I got a ton of stuff after my ectopic. It was gut-wrenching.
Now that I am pregnant again, I hesitate signing up for anything because of my experience last time.
I'm sorry, Shannon.

Re: So I thought I was doing well....
Shannon, I am only seeing this now and want to say how truly sorry I am that these painful reminders continue to pop up
I went through the same when we lost our son - and this is with the hospitals putting the stop to them (they have better information and I can contact the social worker from the NICU we dealt with to find out how she did it). It didn't stop completely, but I did not receive the amount I should have.
I know the constant reminders (like the date alone isn't the worst one) are horrible to deal with and just one more form of torture to deal with
I am here if you need me
