I seriously cannot handle this.
I check FB every one in awhile to see what's happening with my friends. I think I told you that recently I had two pregnancy announcements on there that put a sour taste in my mouth and got me thinking about a FB divorce.
Today is the deciding factor.
My college roommate (who has 3 beautiful children and has been easily reproducing since we graduated) just posted an ultrasound pic of her TWINS. No, these are not A.R.T. twins, these are "oops, I'm so fertile that I released two eggs on my own" twins (Or, my extremely fertile egg split in two). She only wanted one more, and she is getting two. I just want one, and I can't seem to get any!
One of the other friends who recently announced her pregnancy is now complaining she can't be as active as she was before. She has two other children. Another friend is trying to get her friends to review different baby products and get advice through her FB posts. This will be her second child.
Oh, the injustice, as I sit here healing from my first nonviable pregnancy.
I needed this rant. Thanks for listening.
FB is a constant slap in the face for those of us who are having trouble TTC. I am all for the divorce!!!
ReplyDeleteThose facebook announcements kill me too. *sigh* I don't suppose it would be appropriate for me to "unfriend" every pregnant person on my list....?
ReplyDeleteTaking a break from FB for a while sounds like a really good plan! I'm so sorry for all you're going through. {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteUGH. I totally don't blame you. I changed the settings on one of my "friends" so that I would have to hear about every tiny little update that pops into her tiny fertile mind, but the highlight reel on the side of my homepage still shows her F'ing belly pics. WTF???!!!
ReplyDeleteFB gets to me too. i'm so sorry :-( (((big hugs)))
ReplyDeleteFacebook posts get to me too. I have a relative who has a pregnancy blog that she also posts about on facebook. She has also set it up where all her family (me included) is emailed her entries with belly pics.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better after your " FB divorce"! If not maybe this will help: I have given you the One Lovely Blog Awward! Stop by my blog to claim your trophy!\
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
OMG I thought I was the only one who wanted to divorce FB. I've found out about so many freakin' PGers from FB, all people who could have told me face to face, but decide to post it to the world on FB. I hope you can get some peace from leaving FB.
