Frustation is getting the best of me

Not sure why, maybe it's b/c I've been sick and AF has been here, but I've been extremely moody this past week. I've had little to no patience. After the in laws left (had a cookout for the holiday) I decided to hop on the nest to chill out. It's almost like therapy for me sometimes-it relaxes me. Well, tonight that didn't really happen. I read back through the posts to see what I had missed and there were BFP's from people who I've never seen or who've been there a just a couple of weeks. Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy for anyone who gets pregnant that wants it b/c it's such a blessing. However, for those of us who've been trying for a while and sharing our stories with each other, it's like a slap in the face. My initial thought is to respond with "Who are you?" Someone else beat me to it, though. How dare you pop on a board that's for women trying to get pregnant, not know anyone and announce you have what we all hope and pray for? How dare you throw that in our faces and then disappear? If you're a lurker, you should know better than to just announce yourself and your BFP at the same time.

It's just so frustrating. I feel like on one hand I'm being mean, getting mad at these girls. It's not a jealousy issue at all. It's just getting old. On the other hand, I feel like they're just being rude to us. Some of the women there, myself included, are only sharing this part of their lives with others on the nest and no one or very few people in real life. You get to know some of them and want it just as badly for them as you do for yourself and when someone does a "driveby BFP" you want to slap them for the others just as much as for yourself. This goes both ways. When someone you "know" gets their positive HPT, you want to rejoice with them. Oh well. Like I said, maybe I'm just moody or maybe at this stage, I'm just tired of the ignorance.

I know exactly how you feel! I just read back and didn't know most of the names that posted BFPs. It does feel like a slap in the face. "this is my first time posting, but guess what?? I'm pregnant! Gl to you though"
I hate reading them...

But at least we have a wonderful support group. We have some great 'friends' that are here for us through our ups and our downs. ((hugs))
