How do I get my mind off infertility?

Bry

Let me explain my need for advice:

The universe is now going out of its way to remind me I can't make a baby... It's hard enough for me not to be constantly reminded of my failure as a wife simply by EXISTING, as one does... But now it is purposefully being brought to my door.

I was just playing a video game with my husband, and a nice fellow knocked on our door. He works at a local pharmacy which, apparently, has a promotion, or something, to help women who need them get free breast pumps. He asked if we have any children or any on the way, and my husband kindly said we didn't as I secretly screamed inside my head and tried my very hardest not to weep. He told us about the free breast pumps, anyway, handed my husband a flier, and said, "Well, you can hang on to this and hopefully use it soon."

Can you ladies feel the pain brewing inside my head? All I could think was, "You don't understand: it won't be soon. It might not be ever." But at least HE still has hope for my potential future breast pump needs... And I guess that could be a little comforting if it didn't make me cry so hard...

How do you guys get your minds off of this??
