TTC and surrounded by babies!

[EvenLess]

We haven't been TTC that long, only on cycle 4 so I know I need to be patient. Trying for a baby has been on my mind for years but while we were living abroad we couldn't.

But I'm in that stage where most people I know are pregnant, or have young children and am finding it really hard not to feel sad and left out. I spent the day with some uni friends this week who have children and understandably, the kids and their pregnancies were the main topic of conversation. I kept a good face on but cried when I got home

Friends keep saying it'll happen but it's so easy for them to say when nearly all of them got pregnant first time of trying/unexpectedly. Obviously I'm really happy for them but so badly want it to happen for us too. DH is being very calm and encouraging but I'm struggling a bit. Anyone around who feels the same way?

Hey Evenless,

I'm totally with you on this! It is really disheartening when you feel like you're the only one who doesn't fall pregnant at the drop of a hat.

Every time you get AF it's like a kick in the stomach. Buttttt, you will get there, I'm a huge believer in fate and it will happen when the time is right.

Sending you all the love and positive vibes xx

@Evenless I feel the same!! Nice to know I'm not the only one.
I'm surrounded by pregnant ladies at work and my brother is having one (unplanned) so it's hard when we have waited to move house and now we are settled and trying and I just wish I was pregnant already!!
Baby dust your way xxx

I've found my people haha!

It's so true that every time you get AF it is like a proper kick in the teeth because you know it starts all over again and the hope you feel (but try not to get too obsessed with) in the 2ww is gone.

Baby dust to you too- hope we all get there soon x

@EvenLess

I feel exactly the same. Been ttc 12 months now and everytime a friend or colleague announces their pregnancy it crushes me! Also finding myself trying to come up with any excuse to avoid christenings, birthdays etc so i dont have to be around kids so much. Hate feeling this way
Even the constant baby and toddler events in aldi is killing me. Feel like i can't even do my shopping now without bring taunted

Hey @EvenLess & everyone else! I feel the exact same about this! 5 months in TTC #1 and it's babies everywhere!

My neighbour is due her 2nd next week and my cousin has recently announced her bump is a team pink. So happy for them but kills me inside. So ready for it to be my turn 😞

Baby dust to us all ❤️ xx

Hi ladies! Feel the same as well. We’ve wanted a family for quite a while but we’ve been saving for our own house and now that we’re in and settled we thought we’d be pregnant by now but no luck as of yet😔 Were on our fifth cycle so still not as long as some people but we just want it so bad. Both my Sisters and OHs Sister got pregnant without trying so we thought it would happen quickly but nope😔

Baby dust to all💐💐

It’ll be your turn soon. It’s hard until then. I always feel like it’s so unfair that AF is painful/generally miserable - it’s bad enough that it’s happening at all, why does it have to be unpleasant too!!!
