I have 2 very clear work place related memories from during my IF treatment - a closed door meeting with one of my co-workers on my first day back to work post-D&C, which actually greatly influenced my decision to resign a few moths later. And the other (post resignation) I was bartending and my best friend's husband was out late - he said he was out late b/c T. was being a "hormonal bitch" ever since she found out she was pregnant. She hadn't even told me she was pregnant. <BR/>It's great that you and your husband were finally able to connect about your sadness. Men and women deal with all of this so differently, and I sometimes think I forgot we were in it together. Keep talking...And writing...we are here for you.<BR/>Mel<BR/>p.s. I'll post more soon. Thank you for the encouragement.

This stuff can really put a kink in our relationships and you need each other's support through this.<BR/><BR/>I had a very similar email experience to yours with a (previously?) close friend of mine telling me she is expecting pretty late in the game. It just sucks that people feel like they need to hide something like this from us, but I can't figure out a good way to make us both comfortable with it (her with being able to tell me things without worrying about how I'll react; and me with being able to take these announcements in stride). It is just a tough situation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your kind words earlier this week.

I hate those calls. I know how hard it is to hear the news normally, but I really hate when people DON'T tell me too. like I'm a grown woman, I can handle it. it hurts even more to know people withhold info or tiptoe on eggshells around me. just sorry is all. <BR/><BR/>and thanks so much for the shout out and support!<BR/>~lunalunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780044228170185541.post-31090994490160571532008-02-12T20:03:00.000-06:002008-02-12T20:03:00.000-06:00I agree with Tracy-it's definitely a good idea to ...I agree with Tracy-it's definitely a good idea to cut back on work, especially when you're feeling such horrible pressure. (My sister and I frequently debate the merits of being professional mattress testers for Sealy/Serta.)<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you've been through so many low spots lately and I sincerely hope things start looking up.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996076537007147834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780044228170185541.post-11281418864018590682008-02-12T12:30:00.000-06:002008-02-12T12:30:00.000-06:00Good for you for cutting back on work!
