Who has been your biggest source of support?

[Want_a_kiddo]

Mine has definitely been my husband. If you had asked me in April or May, i wouldve said either my mom or my best friend would be. Or my other good friend.
When we got married, some things were said and done by my two friends on my wedding day that i am not sure i could ever forgive, and they havent even put forth any effort to apologize for it. Since we left for our honeymoon, i havent received a single phone call, text, email, or visit from them at all. It honestly makes me feel like they have given up on our friendship, and i refuse to be the one to put forth the effort to mend it, since they were the ones who broke it.
However, now that we are TTC, i am really missing my friends. I really want to be able to go hang out with my girls and take my mind off of babies, be able to lean on her when i need to, to just up and go out to a movie or dinner when i need a night out. I really miss them, and it looks like ive lost them.
So, the only source of support i have is my hubby, and the only real support i get from him is "itll happen eventually, let's do it!"

Sorry, i guess this turned into kind of a vent. Who's your biggest source of support during your TTC journey?

Definitely DH

Other people who have been good are my SIL and sister. Then there are all the lovely ladies on this forum

Everyone else has been a pain, ranging from giving me the "just-relax-and-it'll-happen-practically-immediately" mantra to "have you considered adoption?" even before we've given assisted conception a try This includes my in-laws who have no experience in anyone having conception issues in their family. We're the only ones For them, babies just happen after 2-4 months if you RELAX Wondering how they'll react when we break the news that we'll be going for assisted conception (getting our referral next month).

It is so surprising who does turn out to be there for you. I used to think it would be my friends too but my "close" friends have been awful and I rarely see or hear from them now. I don't know if that's just our life paths going different though!

Initially my partner was kind of freaked out by the whole TTC thing even though he was on board with it but now he is an amazing support and we go through it all together.

The most supportive person I have had is from a really amazing friend I met online through a different site but we've become so close and she's just fab and been supporting me the whole time! Love her to pieces and appreciate all that she does for me month in, month out, despite it always being rubbish news. [Just to clarify though, I do class her as a close friend 100%, in my first paragraph I mean more my friends who live near by.]

i've only told 2 friends (one lives in Australia, one in the States) that we are actively trying. one asks every week or two how it's going (with sincerity) and the other i just told yesterday, but she's not a super close friend. she's someone i admire and trust. and she has been trying for about 8 years, so i knew she would be a good person to have in my corner, who "got" it.

and of course my husband will listen to a certain extent or just let me cry on his shoulder when it gets to be too much...

but...i manage/get most of my insanity out on this site
