so i got dragged to a babyshower today! i ended up having to drive back home. HA who would guess that a girl i used to baby sit is pregnant!!. i had the most horrible day ever. so this girl who took me to the babyshower came over to my place a little while ago and asked why i left. i thought we were great friends but i guess not. she kept going on saying" oh cindy how could you do this to stacy. she was looking for you. and for me to get over my self and to be there for her like a friend should be besides my health problems!" i cant believe those words came out of her mouth when she knows ive had a hard time with this and i dont really like to be "around" pregnant people. nor talk about them. the only words that could come out of my mouth were GET OUT!! and i screamed them. she slammed my front door and stormed off. i didnt mean to get so angry but i cant be happy for stacy when she didnt even care about being pregnant in the first place. and when she found out it was a girl she was even more mad because she wanted a boy. i mean who gives a crap about the sex as long as the baby is healthy right??


anyways sorry for my ranting just dont know who else to talk too

thanks ladies

" unless the person(s) you are talking to also have PCOS, they have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what it is like and what you are going through physically and mentally. people don't truely understand the emotional effect it has on you. there is no way they can, because they dont have to worry about not being able to get pregnant and the chance of it never happening.

my co-worker & friend just had a baby on saturday. it took alot... and i mean ALOT for me to work up the energy and strength to go to the hospital that day and see her and the baby. and afterwords i was destroyed for at least a couple hours.

the difference between us and the women that have none of our struggles is that we were made stronger so we could deal with this. we may not deal with it the way everyone else would expect us to, but they have no idea. so the hell with them.

if someone isnt going to at least try and sympathize with your situation, then they arent equipped to be there for you properly.

try to keep your head and spirit up (= "

" I'm sure if you were to explain it to Stacy that she might be more understanding than what your so called friend was.......No one understands like us PCOS girls do but I'd explain it to Stacy one on one and I"m sure you and her will feel much better about it. Good luck to you :) "

" Rant all you want I am sorry that you have had to deal with such unaware, and insenstive friends.

You need to take care of yourself. That is the first and foremost priority, and if your friends cannot understand it then that is about them. I hope that you are able to be compassionate on yourself.

There is are 2 ladies in our church who are pregnant, on of them thought that they were done. I am having such a hard time with it that I have stopped going to church for now to take care of myself and my heart. And guess what that is okay. I need to to this for my self, and if you leaving the baby shower is what you needed to do to take care of your heart then I am so proud of you.

Hang in there. Someday your turn will come!

Hugs, Leanne "
