Everyone on here that I am familiar with is pregnant!

[no_regrets_91]

I am sorry all you ladies are still here. but selfishly I am glad I am not alone.

I am super nervous that my SIL is going to announce being pregnant at thanksgiving or christmas. I know a couple months ago she told me she got her nuvaring removed so they can prepare to try again. And well, knowing men. they don't go from not using condoms to using them again. So i suspect that the announcment is coming up. I hope I can be nice to her about it. but I really don't like her. She has the entitled "doctors wife" atitude.

Hi ladies! So remember when I posted the above? Turns out I was right! They told my husband just before thanksgiving that she is pregnant. He told me on thanksgiving when we were on the way to their house as he was afraid that they would announce it to the rest of the family and he didn't want me to be ambushed. But thankfully they didn't announce it to the rest of the family I am pretty sure they will wait until christmas as it will be close to 12 weeks by then. So we will skip christmas with DH family because around that time we will find out if our IUI failed or not and I don't want to face her if it does.

I am not sure if this pregar (pregnant radar) is a gift or a curse or just comes as an adaptation from ltttc

I seem to have it too (baby dar)

So the girl that is prego with her second just announced that she is four weeks and 6 days along. She also has her names picked Isabella and damian. THE NAMES WE CHOSE WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TRYING! I wish I wasnt such a nice person. I want to give her a peice of my mind.

!! I know EXACTLY how you feel, our girl name we picked out is pretty safe since it doesn't have any family connection but our boy name (Michael Andrew) is what I'm worried about! Michael is DH's father's middle name and Andrew is DH name and when everyone asked her what names she was picking out she wouldn't say and kept glancing at FIL First she gets pregnant first cycle, then she takes our name! I hate getting the short end of the stick

That suck no regrets but at least you can stay away at Christmas and avoid the pain of the announcement.

I have a hunch my best friend is pregnant with her 2nd so I'm wary of going to dinner at Christmas. It'll be a test of my radar system.

That is all too familiar for me. My sister and I started ttc a few months apart (she was first and wasn't happy to hear that I was ttc as well b/c I was taking her spotlight...long story short...we both waited for our 2 year anniversaries to start ttc...however our anniversaries happen to be a few months apart...dh and I eloped and didn't tell anyone until much later as not to steal my sister's spotlight). Anyway, before either of us started ttc, my whole family was talking about baby names. My sis and I liked the same names, Sophie being the main one after our great aunt. I mentioned that I liked the name Olivia, but would like to call her Livi. Everyone at the table looked at me like I was crazy for suggesting such a thing...they didn't like Livi. Well, here we are 2 years later, my sister's 9 mo old is Olivia and I bet you can't guess what everyone calls her....

This may help you guys I know it has me....

So last night I had a drunken epiphany with the help of my husband... I am no longer going to be bitter and jealous of those that can get pregnant at the drop of a hat instead I pitty them. Sure I may not be able to have what I want right away but when I do get it parenthood is going to be so much sweeter and my children are going to be so much better off because I will appreciate them and the hard work it took my husband and I to concieve them. So I refuse to be ruled by jealousy anymore.

Those parents will never know what it is like to truely be greatful of there precious little ones. And that makes me feel so sorry for those people.

I agree. Just want my baby though, lol xx

 

[dstoke4]

I am not sure why you said you "pitty" those that get pregnant right away. I think it was a poor choice of words. Some get pregnant right away and have miscarriages. Do they not want so deeply what they can not have?? Or People that are just trying and get pregnant...did they not want it to be trying? I know you are upset but it would be nice to choose words that do not affect others in such a way! Thanks!

 

[Mariposa21]

Must admit agree with the lady above huni,(dstoke4) just because they conceive quicker they shouldn't be pitied.

*Love and appreciation for offspring cannot be generalised or categorised by how quickly someone conceived or how much you believe they wanted their child so please try and be more positive on here at least because this platform is a great support for a lot of ladies.

We are all here to support each other and everyone's journey has its ups and downs. I know it hurts, I've had one heck of a experience getting to be able to just ttc but the universe works in mysterious ways don't give up hope and resort to trivialising other's experiences. X

I know it hurts- stay positive, it will happen x

I'm here :wave: all my WTT/TTC buddies are pregnant, have LO or pregnant with their second, just little old me sitting on the shelf..

I am sorry! I think you might have miss understood me. I just think that those that didn't have to work for what they have like getting pregnant on accident. mc not included cause that is a whole nother horrible ordeal may take it for granted. they don't know what it is like to want something so bad and then finnally have that satisfaction after all of their pain and suffering of getting what they have wanted so badly. So yes I do feel sorry for those people because they will never know the joy that the ladies that have had to work for a child will know. They may take for granted the small things like morning sickness where anyone that has been ltttc or has experienced a loss would just smile through. I didn't mean that these people don't want a baby they just won't fully appreciate it like we will. Does this make better sense? I didn't mean to offend anyone.

 

[Armywife84]

I agree that I will truly appreciate a child more because I waited forever to get there. Versus someone who conceived in the average year and moans about every pregnancy ache, morning sickness, or complains about how they get no sleep because of their newborn. No one said anything about miscarriages.
