Everyone seems to be pregnant..

[Custardpie88]

Has anyone else felt this way? It feel like as soon as we started TTC everyone started falling pregnant. Don’t know if it’s lockdown or what! We’ve been trying a year and still no luck. I’ve had to get rid of facebook as seeing yet another announcement just made me want to cry.

@Custardpie88 hi lovely! Yes absolutely!!! I don’t know if it’s that or whether we notice it more now it’s something we really want? We’ve been ttc almost a year with no hint of a BFP yet ✨

What I would say which has reallly helped me - you don’t always know peoples ttc journeys which are announced on social media, it could have taken them just as long / longer 🤍 I know it’s hard and you just want it to be you but your time will come. I’ve also realised being jealous of other peoples fertility isn’t going to help mine, so being happy and hopeful has really helped my mind 😌 except when AF arrives and I’m moody for a day or two haha.

Have you tried opks? Also, have you and your other half gone for tests yet? It can help ease your mind. Ttc is a lonely journey, but lovely women on here make you realise you’re not alone x

It took me 14 months and 2 MCs and some people had got pregnant and HAD their babies in that time. My SIL got pregnant 6 months before me. A woman at work got pregnant and had her baby on the same day one of the pregnancies I lost would have been due. I think you just start noticing it more. TTC can be a really shitty, horrible experience for some people.

If you’ve been trying for a year you can see a GP and have some tests at this point. Like PP said are you tracking?

All my love and hugs...you’ll get there

Thank you both for your kind comments. I have been using OPK’s and tracking BBT, but just no luck. Maybe it is just a case of you do start noticing it more, on top of the fact we are the age now where people start having or have had children. I think we might go to the GP and see if we can start having some kind of tests.
Every time I feel period cramps coming on, or we miss a month if DP is working away I just feel so heartbroken.

Oh I feel exactly the same. Everyone but me! :( My sister told me she was two weeks pregnant two weeks after I lost my baby at 24 weeks. That wen't down like a lead balloon, as I am sure you can imagine! Then both my next door neighbours got pregnant/had healthy babies too, so I feel completely surrounded by it!

Currently just waiting for my period - I have really irregular cycles so no idea when its coming... it's day 30 now so who bloody knows!

I think it's definitely an age thing, if you're in your late 20s, everybody seems to be pregnant! It's easy (and okay!) to be bitter about it for a little while, but as long as you can put it aside so that it doesn't affect your day to day then it's all good.
I hope you find some answers with your tests, or have some luck soon! xx

So sorry for your loss @emiliet123

Sorry for your loss @emiliet123 ❤️ The world can be such a cruel place sometimes xx

You are right! Its not just you. A
colleague in my team and 2 close friends AND my cousin are all expecting early next year. While I am truly very happy for them I do find it hard at times.

Sending positive thoughts to everyone here x

Ohh god yes a thread i can jump on lol.
Was starting to feel like I was the only one 😂

Everywhere I turn pregnant woman everywhere.
Been trying to conceive with my partner for 3 years 3 miscarriages later still no luck the last one was in January so almost a year since last pregnancy. Was trying to convince with previous partner for 5 years and 2 miscarriages in that relationship also. So 8 years all in 🤦‍♀️ if 1 more person says whats for u wont go by u I may actually kill them 😂

I’ve been trying to conceive for 10 month now , I honestly had no idea that this journey would be like this . I naively thought we would do it and it would happen.
The past few days have been so hard on me hearing the news of some close friends who got pregnant , who had asked me for advice on how to ttc. My heart sank when I found out and I think it’s because I feel it’s nowhere near in site for me and my partner and constantly thinking of the what ifs.
I appreciate there’s women out there who have been on the ttc journey much longer but I think this year has just got to me - just all the announcements of pregnancies on social media.
