Sad I guess

[TryingForBabyM]

Everyone I know is either on baby number 2 or not interested in having kids yet and the last infertile person I knew and could talk to has finally got pregnant and I'm so so happy for her but I'm the only one left now - I just feel so alone and everyone's either pregnant with baby number 2 or about to plan to have one and I can't even have baby number 1 ):

@TryingForBabyM I don't have any words of advice but I'm sending you a virtual hug! I know this feeling & I'm often thinking when will it be my turn.

Me too❤️❤️ hugs

Hi 👋
I was that person, I was also older than those having or had babies.
What I can say was, the amount of hand me down clothes etc I got was unreal.
My children were clothed for free until they were 3/4
Don't give up, you will get there x

Same! You’re not alone xxx

You're not alone OP, I'm there too - sending hugs xx

I’m also feeling very sorry for myself.

My best friend just had her third baby this week, I am absolutely over the moon for her but can’t help feeling so sad at the fact she didn’t even try for this baby and wasn’t actually wanting one.

Been trying for 6 months and hoping this month will be my month although I’m not hopeful.

Hope you get yours soon x

@ChinChilly I'm sorry you feel the same but I pray it happens for you soon! Sending virtual hugs back and baby dust ✨✨

@xoJellybean Sending my love ❤️❤️

@Nikkic2123 Thank - it gives me some hope but it still majorly sucks especially when at least 90% of them were all accidents and I've been actively trying but one day 🤞🏻✨

@Amy1010101 Ily ❤️

@postingfortraffichere Thank you - i'm here for you too xx

@Chlo1995 Yeah that sucks - knowing people didn't even try and you can't help but to feel upset over it ! I've been trying for 2 years and still have had no luck so praying for us 🤞🏻✨

Sorry to hear you're feeling this, I know too well how that feels.

Are you seeking any medical advice / ivf etc?

I’m sending you big hugs. It hurts like hell. I know that x

@1940s - I have nothing wrong with me that they could see via an ultrasound and my partner is trying to get a referral to get sperm tested so far not much medical help - when he finally gets referred and tested then it depends what the results come back as x

@Nikkic2123 It really does but i appreciate you and the big virtual hugs so much xxx

Partner and I have been trying for 2 1/2 years, so I get it. We have a couple of friends that started trying for their first at the same time as us and are now expecting/have just had their second a close friend announced not long ago and I cried when I got home, then cried again because I felt so guilty and like a bad friend lol even though I was genuinely happy for her I just felt jealous. TTC is a mix of emotions, and they're all totally valid. It's why I like this board so much, in "real life" it feels like you're the only people going through it but here you're not alone ❤️

@Pawsin Yeah the guilt of feeling that way really gets to you but it's definitely normal and we know we're happy for our friends it's just we want those experiences too and it's a struggle to get ours but fingers crossed for us lovely ❤️❤️

@TryingForBabyM have you only had an ultrasound? Or have you had full bloods taken?

My gentle warning to you having gone through the medical route for my diagnoses of 'unexplained infertility' is that the process (even private) is slow. There are recommended scans and procedures and prepping and so even once you've both committed to medical help it may be 6-8 months before you're in a position for them to try to get you pregnant. If that first try doesn't work it can often be 6-10 weeks as standard before your 'trying' again so I just found the added time (on top of natural TTC a real strain) and I was naive in thinking going to a clinic would have me pregnant in one or two months!

@1940s - I don't want medical intervention such as IVF unless absolutely necessary and it only took a week and then three months for them to complete my ultrasounds so I'm not too worried about blood work yet until my partner gets his sperm tested xx

I'm
Really surprised your go offered ultrasounds only and not bloods as standard.

How old are you (sorry if I've missed it!£

Omg I'm dying for an ultrasound cause my bloods are okay - wish they would have given me one but they won't🤣

@1940s It's because I asked for an ultrasound aha x

@xoJellybean Hm I literally just asked for one and got it ? I haven't done blood work yet though - It's so random how things work out 😂

Oh I see!

How old are you?
