UGH...another facebook pregnancy announcement!

[Armywife84]

I'm with you all on this.
Only today have I seen someone on fb with their scan pics up and the girl who I work with has told me she is 8 wks pg.
Its got me down

You and me both!

I'm dealing with my SIL who announced she's unexpectedly pregnant with her third when she's already blessed with twins from her first round of Clomid! My cousin, other SIL, and MIL all had statuses congratulating her and my BIL.. I bawled my eyes out, and I'm still hoping to wake up the next day and this is all nothing but a nightmare. Of course this all happens right before my ovulation!!

Anyone else notice that the FB pregnancy announcements come in waves? Like around Oct-Dec, I knew about 10-15 girls who all fell pregnant. Some were unexpected and others were just after 4 months of trying. Now they're all having or soon to have their babies, there's another wave of pregnant women cropping up this month! So annoying when you wish you were part of that.

I have had a few announce in the past two months. Hoping this stops for the summer but then I know there will be a new wave in the fall.

Get this one then. DH's friend started trying a few months before us. At the time he hadn't long got back together with his fiance after calling off their wedding as there were major probs in the relationship. She was gutted about the wedding being cancelled so when they patched things up she came off the pill instead to try for a baby. He told my DH at the time "Thing is, it's not going to fix a bad relationship is it". He also said something along lines of "Thankfully nothing has happened because I've been working away so much." This was in March 2010.

Sure enough, yesterday he has posted scan pics and a few posed pics of him and his 7 months pregnant fiance! I was like GRRRRR!!!! It should be OUR turn dammit, not theirs! As much as it hurts tho I can't stop looking at the scan pic and reading all the messages of congrats and wishing it was me

Their "fix up" baby is due a week before my first wedding anniversary. I want to throw things and scream - a lot.

this is exactly what i have to deal with it just crushes u ive hidden them on facebook and not having to see it every day helps me feel better because i forget about it hope you feel better soon so good to come and have a rant on here also i saw this "When we finally have our child in our arms, no matter when that moment comes, it will be the right little one for us, at the right time" made me feel realy good loads and loads of fo you x

First the announcements, then the stupid tickers start popping up. And it seems like if someone sees someone else's ticker update, they do it too. Yesterday, I think I counted 10 ticker updates in my newsfeed, and I know all those girls are friends . . . Grr.

I think after I've experienced how I feel about all this that I will not announce or use tickers on my fb. You never know who may be ttc out there. I don't know. At the same time I want to be able to share and celebrate my own pregnancy when it comes. I'm torn.

Hi I agree, I have been ttc for 3 years secondary infertility.Since then at the moment 8 of my friends are pregnant, and yesterday a girl at work told me she was pregnant after her and hubby had been trying for 2 months. I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, d & c and dye last month, I have a hormonal imbalance in my pituitary gland, which means my body secretes too much prolactin. It makes my body think it is always pregnant. Therefore without meds I cant get pregnant. I am waiting on the results from my op and get them next week to see if there are any other factors contributing to my infertility.

I cried myself to sleep last night after hearing that she was pregnant cause for once at work there was no one else pregnant and at least I didn't have to work with all my pregnant work mates. There have been 6 babies born at work since I have been trying.

Sometimes I don't like this jealous angry feeling that I get cause it is not a usual personality trait that I have. Lately it just seems too much for me emotionally. Sometimes I feel like a complete failure. My partner has been tested twice and he is fine. It's me with the infertility.

I know I don't have half the worries of the other ladies on here but does anyone else just feel emotionally distraught every time they hear about another pregnancy?

There's a girl i'm friends with on Facebook (through other friends) & she's just announced that she's pregnant with her 4th & every status update is about how tired she's feeling & how she can't wait for her bump to appear. Now she's started posting pic's of the positive preg tests & i just keep thinking that should be me.
Glad to know that i'm not the only one feeling this way.

YES! I have cried over more than one announcement, and then I feel guilty because a new life coming into the world should make me happy, not jealous! It's just so frustrating sometimes.

Em, that's just the kind of person I've taken to hiding. it's just too much to have rubbed in my face, especially when it's not anyone particularly close to me.

I am trying to take in the fact that I may not be pregnant (blood work came back less then 1 but not 0) so either its too early or I miscarried... But then I have pretty much all my friends with babies, and everywhere I go I see a baby, Its making it so hard cuz after 4 positive HPTs I don't get how the dr tests could come back negative.. I wanted my baby so much.. (sorry kinda emotional the past few days)

I am so glad I am not alone when I get so fed up with baby talk and announcements all the time when we are trying our hardest but apparently thats not enough lol. My sister and close friend are both currently pregnant so I cannot get away from it, another has not long had a baby and one is trying. Of course I am very happy for them all but cant help thinking when my turn will be!

lots of to you all xx

Hi, I'm new. I can totally relate to this thread! I know lots of people who got married around the same time as me (3 years ago) and it seems that I'm the only one who hasn't got a baby. This is only our first month TTC but we have had to wait a couple of years due to me having a couple of health problems that ended up needing surgery. Even my DH's underage cousin is pregnant! (and constantly posting on facebook!) It seems so unfair

 

[acrews611]

I'm right there with you guys. I've wanted a baby for years. Problem was couldn't find mr right. My friends who ALL have kids would keep asking when are you going to have kids? Seriously right on my FB wall. Hello personal question not to mention I wasn't even with anybody. So now I found mr right and to avoid drama we eloped. So now everyone is like so your due in what 7-8 months? Why does everything ahve to be about babies with them! So I'm not telling the FB world we are ttc since I don't think I can't handle it. My friends all had oops and uhhhh ohhh's and can't understand that for some reason it just isn't happening for me.

 

[tulip1202]

I kid you not, everyone around me is pregnant - my husband and I go out for ice cream and everywhere I look there are pregnant women. When will I be one of them! I am so tired of hearing yet another acquaintance/friend is preggers and another month passes that I am not.
Just needed to let that out! =)

 

[Mrsctobe]

I know it's annoying when people are pregnant & your not. and you feel envious and wish it was you but look at it this way would you feel upset if someone had that attitude towords you when your pregnant?? it wouldnt be nice you would want people to be happy for you. x

Hi Ladies,

I thought I would come and vent here. Just had some amazing news from my best friend of 31 years. She is pregnant with No 2. I am so pleased for her but really gutted its not me. I tried for six years for my DS she fell within 2 months of meeting her hubby whilst using contraception. I have been trying again for 12 months she has just fallen whilst not wanting to get pregnant.... Where's the fairness??? I sound terrible I know but I so badly want another child and feel so despondent now that she can do it and I BLOODY WELL CAN'T. Sorry and thank you for listening. Rant over.

Baby dust to you all and I hope you all get a visit from the stork soon xx
