Irritated

Liz • mommy to two beautiful girls
I am so sick of the response I get when I try to talk to my mom about my infertility. I made the choice to take a baby-making break, and I haven't tested or logged this last cycle at all. I noticed today I am 2 days late, but had a test 2 days ago in clinic due to need for shoulder xrays. It was negative. I told me mom. Today I noticed I am late and I mentioned it to her, that I just don't understand what is happening with my body anymore and am really frustrated. She gives me the cold shoulder. Like, I feel like people just get sick of me talking about it and I get such negative feedback from everyone that the only people I talk to about it now are my mom and my husband. But even they are starting to brush me off. You get NO sympathy for this condition and its upsetting. I'm not by any means obsessed, I don't only talk about my infertility struggles, I save most of my comments for my diary. But getting such a lack of even empathy is wearing on me. People just don't understand this level of pain unless they themselves have experienced it. I'm so tired of being infertile. I'm so tired of people being insensitive and telling me to "relax it'll happen" or "just don't think about it". There needs to be more awareness of infertility so people can understand what we go through. Vent session! Lol
