Friends pregnancy

Hi everyone!

Don't really know how to say this without sounding like a whiny little so-and-so, but I need to say it somewhere and hopefully someone will understand.

My partners best friend and his wife have a DD who's a 1 y/o, and have now just announced that they have their second BFP. Myself and my partner have been TTC for over 2 years now, and it gets very difficult to be around the pregnancy talk and to see her bump get bigger. We aren't close friends, and I don't really think I'm missed when my partner goes to see them; but AIBU? I've just gotten my 2nd BFN since being on Pre-conception tablets and I feel heartbroken - Then 2 days later she comes out with this news. I'm happy for them as a couple and I know that they're wonderful parents but at the same time I'm dealing with my own sense of loss for something I never had?

Sorry for waffling, I just feel stupid!

Sorry you're struggling OP. I have PCOS diagnosed after eight moths of trying and me and DH went to doctors and got referred to hospital for tests. DH checked and all fine but me not so much. We were started on treatment and I had surgery and eventually fell but it was hard being around anyone who was pregnant. Of course I was delighted when friends fell pregnant but it was hard

Get yourself to the gp. They'll do blood tests, test dh's sperm and then refer you to a fertility dept. I'm trying for dc 2 and I'm a bit of an emotional mess. I threw a tin of sweet corn onto the floor earlier! I've only been trying for 14 months, including an early mc and usually I'm 'ok' but sometimes you just get overwhelmed - one of those times is when other people fall pregnant. If you need to take a step back from her for a while for your own mental health then you absolutely should! Good luck x
