Feels stupid posting about this with everything going on in the world at the moment but I feel like I need advice (and wasn’t sure what forum it should be in)

I guess I do want to know if IABU.

I don’t want to go into too much detail but DH and I have been ttc unsuccessfully since slightly before COVID. I have endometriosis, I was ignored for years. I feel so angry about this, constantly, which probably doesn’t help.

My sister, a couple close friends and several work acquaintances have all recently announced their pregnancies and now my other close friend has sent me a scan pic and told me she’s pregnant.

I’m happy for all of them deep down but I feel like this one has hit me the hardest, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the proximity to a negative test I took yesterday, may be it’s just one pregnancy too many.

I’ve actually been reading MN today to try and distract me but I feel on the verge of tears. I mean, I’ve had a cry but it keeps coming.

Has anyone been in this position, how do you cope? I don’t think I can go to another celebratory meal or baby shower and just paint a grin on. I’ve lost one friend as I told her I couldn’t go to her baby shower and she just blocked me on everything.

I feel hurt, so empty and angry. I just feel like why is this happening now? It feels so deeply unfair.

Does anyone have any words of advice. How did you cope if you’ve been in a similar situation?

Thank you
