My husband and I have been trying for nearly two years. My bf got pregnant two weeks after ttc in May. Much to my dismay. All my friends know that we have been trying and have had an ectopic. So I was a bit surprised when I got messaged a picture of her positive pregnancy test, and since then I have had three ultrasound pictures messaged to me, and to top it off a video as well just last week! While I am very happy for her, I would love it if she would just think for a second that I might not be ready for all this. Our ectopic was just about 7 months ago and i would have been due around this time. And she gets annoyed if I don't reply in a certain amount of time and sends me a message to ask if I have seen it! Like everyone should only be thinking about her and her baby! I effing hate it!!!!!! Argh!!!!!!! And I feel like a bitch for thinking like this!! And the more she sends things the less I want anything to do with it!! I understand it's not all about me, but it is actually a bit much to deal with at the moment.

You have every right to feel how you feel..the best thing to do is just be blunt, maybe not full blown going in with tanks blazing but sit her down and explain why you don't wanna hear about it. It's happened a few times where I explained and I got the "I'm so sorry I didn't realize" some of them get so wrapped up in their pregnancy because of this bullshit mentality that has recently become acceptable of being aloud to become diva mom that they don't take IF people into consideration, some people don't even know IF exists sadly.

I haven't told anyone aside from my mum and sis that we're TTC so I don't really have the right to moan about people.
Still, I probably would post my scan pictures on FB because my husband is American and his family wouldn't get to see them otherwise. If i had a close friend I knew was having problems TTC I would definitely speak to them privately first though.
Love the website Tami, especially the 4th of July posts. Parents who think that their kids bedtimesis more important than celebrating their country's independence. Most kids can sleep through fireworks, huge storms, household noises, no problems!
I have a friend who posts around 5 times a day with 'Sophie slept for 9hrs 20mins last night', 'Sophie is taking a nap', 'Sophie woke up at 5:30am and then once I got up she fell asleep again' - Really?? Who cares?! I should start posting on her wall everytime my cats take a nap

Haha exactly Bump2B! Can't remember how I found the blog but I'm so glad I did, too funny on how many over share. Although some of those posts in that blog you can't do anything except wish it were trolling haha

It's as though you read my mind and put how I'm feeling into words!

Mine's not so much a FB thing but my SIL is now on her third pregnancy since we started ttc. The second time she got pg I honestly felt so gutted I pretended to my MIL that my DH hadn't told me the big news, because she said she was wondering why I hadn't called my SIL to congratulate her or rang my MIL 'to join in the excitement' OMG are you kidding me!! They know I had an ectopic back in 2006 and after that family members would constantly ask me if I'm pregnant again yet. One even was like 'what the hell is wrong with you' I was so upset. In the end we decided to lie and say we're not ttc anymore because I can't stand the look of pity looks and uncomfortable words when I say no still not pregnant. I always tried to laugh it off, but inside I was dying.

Thanks for this, helps that I'm not the only one to feel this way!

I totally can understand how you feel. I live in the fertile family the type where they sneeze and they're pregnant so to go to family reunions is like someone running nails on a chalk board for me. People just don't understand how we are not going to jump for joy. you would think they'd get the hint that 3 years of being together and we still have no LO running around, there are issues in the fertility department (my family i swear is goign through a baby boom of its own) wish people would leave us the hell alone about it, then they wonder why at the annual family reunion i end up with 6 glasses of wine in me just so i can tolerate the LO's running around. To make matters worse, apologies to older TTC'ers in advance, but I show up this year to find out my 47 year old aunt got her BFP by pure accident! REALLY?! I'm 22 and can't even conceive one.

I know it totally sucks. I was on the phone to my friend this afternoon and she was like, we're trying for another one, they have three already. She said she stopped taking BCP this month and that she expects to be pg by September, she said she just has to sit next to her bloke when not on the pill and she will get pregnant! She knows I'm about to go through IVF all I was thinking was is she being insensitive or am I being over sensitive, whichever it was I'm really hurt by it.

When we all finally get our BFPS I have to keep telling myself it will be all the more wonderful, having waited so long. I will never take any of it for granted.
