SIL & TTC - give me strength

[BarberellaWife]

I've been TTC since October last year and starting to get very fed up and down.

My 19 y/o SIL came round Sunday evening for dinner and told us we were going to be an Auntie and Uncle... as soon as she said it i just needed to get out of the house and made an excuse to go to the shop and just sobbed in the car.

I had I know it's awful but I am just finding it so hard to be happy for her and really don't know how I am going to deal with this. It just feels like a kick in the teeth. To top it off, her and her partner are coming away with us in July and I wish I could just cancel it

Any advice how I can get over this and try and be happy for her?

I totally sympathise, it is really hard when others around you can get pregnant at the drop of a hat and you haven’t been able to yet but unfortunately it varies so much how long it takes for each couple! Have you watched what to expect when you are expecting? There’s someone like that on there and it’s quite fun to watch. I think the best thing to do is vent on places like here or with some friends as you do want to be supportive and happy for her in person. You’re not upset at her, you’re just upset it hasn’t happened for you yet, so try not to let those feelings come across to her. It will happen for you and think of how lovely it would be to have cousins similar ages. Fingers crossed you get a bfp soon!
