How do you handle seeing all these pregnant people everywhere!?

[MariaIsabella]

Interested to hear how you cope with seeing everyone else pregnant around you? I can’t even fake to be happy sometimes.

At work when someone is bringing their little one I pretend to have a meeting and when someone announces their pregnancy I scream with anger inside . Its so hard! I am soon 37 and feel my time is running out.. I know there are many older ladies here trying but I have hyperplasia which means I can't even try now and on medication for god knows how long.. 1 month, 6 month, a year?? So depressing not being able to at least try each month!

Anyhow, any tricks on how to make yourself feel better when you see pregnant people? The only thing I tried so far is to tell myself they will have no life when the baby is born but it really does not work that well

So sorry you are going through this. I had to losses before my DD and I remember how difficult it was when people around announced they were pregnant - especially when they weren't even trying or had only tried for one or two cycles. What helped me the most was acupuncture. Other than that I got out in nature as that is something that I love to do. I hope things turn around for you soon.

I had one of my friends talking about how her baby is growing fingerprints this week, if it's a girl she's got all the eggs she'll be born with, etc. It can be tough to be struggling to conceive.

I know exactly how you feel. My mom had a family gathering last month and there 5 pregnant ladies there! Didn't get sad about it because the next day hubby and I were going on vacation to Europe for three weeks! So I was grateful we could just take off like that with no responsibilities.

Came back one of them had a baby and I just visited her today. To be honest, at one point during the visit I had tears in my eyes and fought them back.
I have been trying to conceive for 4 years with no luck except for a partial molar pregnancy.

My advise is set for yourself mini goals and treats on your journey to concieve.

What I came up with today was I am thankful both hubby and I are healthy and happy. And each time I get my period I am going to buy something nice for myself.



Even if I have to save up all month. Along with marking my calendar each month of when my period is due, I will also mark what I am going to buy or treat my self with.

I understand your feeling right now, but there's still a lot of way to release your inside anger and frustration. You have to know emotion is a factor that would affect your fertility, so don't let it affect your chance of getting pregnant. Please be patient and understand that you are not alone, there are a lot of women still struggle with not having a baby. Stick together, and relax! Wish you all the best!
