Everyone else gets pregnant

[gigglebox]

I just had to vent...this iseems to be a trend, it's like, when we're ttc, everyone else around us gets pregnant! It's so furstrating and heartbreaking. When I had my suspected cp, i already had a pregnant SIL, and three other friends got pregnant. A few weeks later, another friend got pregnant. We officially started really trying, and it was so stressful that i couldn't take it and we stopped after 4 cycles. So then what happens? Another friend gets pregnant, and then i do! And one week later, i miscarry!

I held off trying again for a couple months, but we started again last cycle. I'm currently in the tww (of cycle 2 back at it) and pretty confident we didn't catch this cycle...and the pregnancy trend is starting again. A friend just announced her pregnancy (she was on the pill), and i got the news today that my cousin will be having a baby.

It's so hard to deal with...the broodiness is so strong, and it's heartbreaking not getting what you desire and having only a small 12 chances a year to "get it right".

Sigh.

Hey
I know the feeling oh so well sadly. We started TTC our first 2 years ago now and have nothing to show. We have had 3 miscarriages in that time. We are feeling angry, jealous you name it at others who are falling after 5 minutes and we have been trying for 2 damn years! life just isn't fair. We take ages to fall pregnant since having D and Cs which makes each loss even harder as we have to work so hard to conceive.
If I am honest we have kind of given up for now. I am starting acupuncture to help with my stress levels/depression. I am fine generally on the surface but deep down I'm a broken women and I need fixing.
All of you feelings are completely valid and you have the right to feel how you do. its just typical that there are so many pregnancy announcements. However I guess if you got divorced everyone would be seen to be getting married. I guess that we notice it more thats all.
I have learnt to just be kind to myself: avoid baby showers if I don't feel like going, see fiends when I feel like it, especially those who are expecting, cry when I need to and enjoy the happy times and try not to feel guilty for laughing and having fun.
I hope things get easier for you

Thanks Try, I appreciate it Have you ever had any testing for your losses? I can't imagine what you're going through...after so many months of us trying and not getting pregnant (on to cycle 8, unofficially cycle 10), I am kind of just getting "used to it", that is, the disappointment of the negative. Like I am hopeful, but then I kind of am growing to expect a negative. I'd imagine it'd be something like that...when you're so saturated with sorrow, you just can't become any more sad, if that makes sense? I'm kind of ranting now.

Here's to hoping it's in both of our near futures!
