Urgh I know that this sounds incredibly selfish of me but I just really need to rant
A good friend of mine has been ttc for just over 2 years with no luck.
I told her as soon as I started ttc as I knew this would be an issue for her, she wasn't too bad about it but then didn't take my pregnancy news 2 months later very well which I can understand.
Anyway she has now decided to go for IVF as she's 40 so feels that time is running out, I'm extremely happy for her and glad that she's made this decision but I'm just struggling to cope with the whole me me me thing
She came round the other day and every time my pregnancy was mentioned she turned it round to be about her, talking about her IVF appointment later this month. I was very interested to hear all about it tho so let it slide.
Then I had the awkward moment of having to ask for some of the maternity clothes if given her a year ago back. I tried to be sensitive though and explained that I was only wanting to borrow them until the Xmas season was over and I could afford some bits so would make sure she had them back as soon as needed.
This just started a big conversation about how down she is at the moment waiting for her appointment, how she's stuck in limbo not knowing whether she's already pregnant this month etc etc. again I was happy to talk about this.
BUT yesterday I sent her a pic of my scan and she responded by saying 'what a lovely pic' then sent me another text straight after saying 'only X amount of days til I find out what journey I will be on to get one of these'
Now I know this is a big for her, but am I ever going to be allowed to enjoy my little bit of pregnancy before she starts full whack with the me me me stuff??
Sorry to be such a bitch but grrrrrrrrr
