I do think that people who struggle with IF often feel happy for others that have also struggled. I know I often felt more excitement for women in my support group that had success with treatments than other women in my life who concieved naturally. <br /><br />I also welcomed that kind of good news from IFs because if another IF could get pregnant, then maybe it meant I also had a chance at getting pregnant.<br /><br />Enjoy your good news, and take it one day at a time!First and Onlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426965240340688135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-3089353529680039012010-11-08T13:26:04.484+13:002010-11-08T13:26:04.484+13:00Welcome to PG after IF!

I struggled with this (and still do with C being 14months now) It's hard moving on and leaving precious friends behind especially after they were so supportive and understanding. I still try to connnect with people still experiencing IF but sometimes i don't know whether i'm coming across as smug. All i want to do is show support or some kind of positive visualisation or simply to offer hope. In the end, you have to be happy for your PG and be acknowledged for your struggles, you've earned it.a field of dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659800536648397033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-81459846675070538012010-11-08T12:47:35.737+13:002010-11-08T12:47:35.737+13:00Thanks Janet!

We feel such happiness to be pregnant, and yet such anxiety. I felt a real disconnect to my first pregnancy although this one is a little better. It's like it doesn't seem real after everything we have been through, and we are too scared to get hopeful or excited about it. IF doesn't leave you. <br />I actually wrote about this exact thing on my blog last night, and there are alot of articles out there discussing anxiety and pregnancy after IVF. (http://morebananas.blogspot.com/) -there is a link to one on there that explains it all a bit better. <br />Be kind to yourself, go with your feelings, and just know that you are not alone.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094930017209118894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-17628980366898438462010-11-08T12:11:53.477+13:002010-11-08T12:11:53.477+13:00It must be very hard for you but you deserve just ...It must be very hard for you but you deserve just as much as anyone to be raving about your pregnancy.

So it helps to know that no matter how long it might take there is hope.<br />I also like that you are a wealth of knowledge. I think people like you who have been through so much should post more as you are the ones with all the knowledge about what to expect.<br />Dont feel bad for wanting to stay involved...even if people do feel a little upset, the reality check is good sometimes.

I totally understand why you feel a little guilty about it all though but I guess at the end of the day you're all striving to get that BFP so you should most definitely embrace it and celebrate it.

For me, reading stories of success is all that keeps me going at times. So please keep writing, about every little detail of this wonderful beautiful experience. Let us live vicariously thru you and fill our minds with the love and joy you feel. <br /><br />I won't lie, and you know only too well that commenting can be hard, I find myself unable to comment on pregnant blogs at certain times, but I love reading, and I love knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - at least for some of us. <br /><br />Congratulations to you - and best of luck as your journey continues!<br />xoxo - Foxyfoxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-72863009525656556372010-11-08T08:31:28.237+13:002010-11-08T08:31:28.237+13:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRzBpFjJS8
