Self pity alert

[LoveInAColdClimate]

It's just so bloody unfair! The warm weather means town is full of bumps being shown off in tight tops (at least in winter they're hidden under coats) and every other person seems to be pushing a pram. In particular, I am so fed up with walking down the street watching mothers whacking/ignoring/swearing at their eight children when every month I am, yet again, not pregnant.

Please don't flame me - I know loads of those mothers may have had a terrible time conceiving and that the child-whackers may just be having an off day (), but I just feel sad and resentful today.

Please make me feel better by telling me I am not alone in my resentment today of everyone with a bump or baby...

Oh I'm feeling it too. We've been trying and trying.

I have so many friends who are pregnant and they keep phoning me up telling me all about it. I feel humiliated and alone. It feels like not one person in my circle understands.

I feel like telling them all to shut up and put a baggier top on to save my tears.

I know what you mean, LoveInAColdClimate and EmmaPW. It's really hard having to share their joy whilst just feeling utterly miserable and empty inside.

I have one SIL who smoked and drank her way through both of her pregnancies having 2 kids by 2 different fathers by the age of 21. Not cool and needless to say I'm not on good terms with her. The other SIL, nice as she is is now expecting and being the model mother to be - which is really lovely, but I feel heartbroken that it's not me yet. :(

I'm currently in limboland CD34, UCL 28/29, no AF and one BFN at CD32. To test again or just try and relax?!

Keep your chins up ladies. xxx

Hi all i have been ttc #2 for 20 months been on clomid for 3 months i am on cd37 ucl 26-34 last month had 3 bfn at cd31 cd33 and cd36

Hi ladies, you are not alone!
I have been ttc#2 for 12 months - and I mean REALLY trying hard!
It's so unfair.
I seem to be seeing huge bumps everywhere I go too.
I am very grateful I have dd (2.1) to keep me busy but I get lots of "Oh when are you having another one then" .... I just smile and say "Oh, we'll see".
So far I am not feeling sad but very very frustrated as we know we are getting our timing right each month, we have had basic tests so we know it all works, but it's just not working gah!

(kniterati I would have done about 20 tests by now lol! )

We're all allowed feeling sorry for ourselves days. Me & DH are nearly in to our 4th year TTC #1 with only to M/Cs to show for it :(

Hello ladies

It's sad to read similar stories but also very comforting to not feel alone so thank you all.

My brother has just announced a pregnancy now! Seriously, I'm going back to bed and hiding under the covers...

Thanks for the support ladies.

Luckily someone told me this morning that all I need to do is relax and it'll happen so I assume that I'll be graduting onto the pregnancy boards next month now I know the secret .

Easier said then done a

LoveInAColdClimate (love that book, btw) - thank you for sharing that advice. What wise words from your friend....relax and it will happen. Ladies - that's what we've been doing wrong!!!

18 months TTC #1 here - given up on testing as has only ever been BFN. Almost at the end of 6 months clomid, then onto IVF, I guess.

And Emma - it must be very hard for you, if even your brother can get pregnant!

I think some resentment every now and then is perfectly acceptable and normal. After all, most of the time we're completely rational.
