[sweetness.384]

7 or 8 of my friends are pregnant. its only my 4th month of actually trying but it seems to come to everyone else so easy.

 

[Jaylina]

Totally get how you feel.

I got my BFP on 30th March and announced it to the family on 8th April. Just after we announced, my fiance's brother announced he and his wife had an 'accident' and were 10 weeks along.

I miscarried on Thursday and it is breaking my heart to know that my fiance's brother and his wife have got pregnant by accident. She is having her 12 week scan this week and I've got to go back for a follow up scan on Thursday to check my miscarriage is over. Very sad.

i know exactly how you feel except i am the only one in my group of friends that hasn't got a baby or pregnant. all my other friends got pregnant within 5 months of TTC yet here i am nearing the year mark and never even had a BFP. it's horrible as all them go on play dates with there kids etc and i'm always left out really is heart breaking

 

[RedStar57]

@Feisty: After reading your advice, I must say it helped me to step away from symptom spotting! As with you and many women out there TTC, I drove myself insane. This opened up a new light for me. Thanks so much!

I'm in the same boat - a handfull of close friends are pregnant. plus several Facebook announcements in recent months.. I think it's especially frustrating those who have been trying for many months or who've had a MC...

With all of us here struggling, it really baffles me that it seems to come so effortlessly to so many of our friends (and the accidental pregnancy are really annoying!)

Once I decided that I had so many things to enjoy while not being pregnant (coffee, wine, soft cheese, travel, exercise etc) I have let go of a lot of the frustration about seeing other pregnant while I am not.

I realized also that my time will come if it's meant to be, and stressing can't possibly change that so best to just enjoy life as it is, and try to be happy and supportive for my pregnant friends in their time, so that they'll be supportive of me when I get pregnant.. (if that makes sense)


good luck ladies!

I know totally how you feel.

On my OH's side of the family...

My OH's brother has just got his girlfriend pregnant again totally by accident, and I'm so happy for them but now he's making playful digs about my OH "getting on with things" and us "catching up with him." Maybe I'm just being too sensitive over all this and he is just delirious in his happiness about his baby news... but then maybe he could try being a little more sensitive. The trouble is both times he's got his girlfriend pregnant they were both accidents so he just thinks that there is something wrong with us two. He's not exactly the most tactful of people anyway but underneath it all he means well. He just needs to think before he speaks.

Then on my side of the family...

I'm the only one out of my family that is actively trying to conceive, but in the last 3 and a half years there have so far been 5 accidents that are now bouncing babies and i love them all to bits, but I just feel so frustrated that I'm not the same, that my body is not working the same way and that the rest of my family seems to find it so blooming easy

Then it doesn't help that literally everywhere you look you see pregnant women, or newborn babies, or a little bit older babies, buggy/pram sales, cot sales, nappy adverts, baby milk adverts... just everything everywhere reminds us that so far we have failed at what should literally come naturally.

thankfully none of my sisters-in-law are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant (one is on mirena and the other can't have kids and doesn't want them)...my one good girl friend isn't seeing anyone. all of the girls i went to college with but aren't that close with are preg or have just given birth and facebook is flooded with pics but i don't know them well enough to say that it just happened right away or not so i'm pretending that it took them a while, too. friends that just came to visit brought their kids and since she is a year younger than me and had the first kid 3 years ago i figured they got preg right away but when i asked her about it she said it took them 2 years! a friend of the family who is 4 or so years older than me is finally pregnant after being married for 8 years or so and after ectopics and miscarriages so i'm really happy for her. it made me feel so much better. i bet you would be surprised that not everyone else got pregnant right away, it's just not something you normally talk about, you know?

No-one in my (very small) family is pregnant, but loads of women I know through work or went to school with are expecting, or have just had babies. My husband's best friend has a daughter who is one next month. I asked his girlfriend what they were using when she was conceived. Her reply: "condoms"!

So sorry to hear of your loss hun....always here is you need a chat x

 

[GreyGirl]

I know how you feel. I know a lot of pregnant people right now. I try not to hate them because they may have had problems too, and it's not their fault I haven't conceived. It does feel like you're the only one sometimes!

 

[snd80]

OMG YES! I swear, everyone I know, went to school with or see is, but not me! And I've got to where I can't stand to see a pregnant person! I know it sounds horrible, but after TTC this long, I can't help it! Even my very BF is preg., and I haven't been able to be around her since she told me... God forgive me!!!!
