TTC and struggling

I’m 35 and have been trying for baby no.2 for 8 months (will be 9 this cycle). I’m aware many people have been trying for much longer. But I’m really starting to struggle. I feel like I am surrounded by friends and family who are either announcing pregnancies or births. I also work with babies and new parents regularly and so I don’t really feel like I can get away from it all. I’m starting to feel really resentful and angry which I guess is normal. Not really sure of the point of this post just wanted to know I wasn’t the only one! X

I'm also on cycle 9 of ttc (never been pregnant before) and I feel exactly the same. My friend is due her third baby in a couple of months and even though I'm so happy for her, I'm also very resentful and it's making me want to avoid her (I feel terrible for that).
I never realised how hard this would be x
