Over the past few years of IF I have realized I have a few 'triggers' (not talking about Ovidrel!) that make me completely break down. I found another one on Friday -young couples walking their dogs while pushing a stroller. I completely lost it. Sobbing. Too bad we live on one of those streets that always has people walking.
There are the typical ones -pg bellies, pg announcements, newborns, baby clothes, the empty-baby-room in my house, holidays, the duck that lays eggs in our flower box every spring (b/c she gets 4 or 5 babies, and I get none!), just to name a few:)
Sometimes I wonder if one day these things will no longer bother me. Are there certain things that bring on the water works for you?

just knowing that some people can conceive without the use of drugs or needles still gets to me...
I would say my one trigger was always a pregnant belly. But, I would never cry. I would get pissed. Like I wanted to get in my car and run the bitch down kind of pissed.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. It's not fair for any of us. Keep strong and know that you have friends out here!
Oh yeah, everything used to bring on the waterworks, but now I suddenly just seem to be numb which I'm not sure is any better. ((HUGS))
I second everything that Suzanne said. My other trigger is songs, certain songs. Hugs!
Mine is the the random, "I'm pregnant!" and other references in movies and on tv where it comes out of nowhere- like in The Happening, Sex and the City, etc. Getting caught off guard stinks.
My trigger is when people with children add more children to their family. I know this makes no sense at all, but it feels like they are stealing all the children! Hello - do you really need 3 or 4 kids when I can't even have one?
My trigger is when someone announces they're pregnant and everyone looks at me instead of at the person who is pregnant. As a result I've been told I give a very good reaction to the news, but it's still hard.
I'm sorry that I laughed when I read about the duck! I laughed, but I get it - I really do. Especially the stroller and dog part - that should be us. That is our vision of perfection. And I find that my list of triggers grows as time goes on. . .
