Anyone else feel the same?

[Angeleyes15]

Just posting to see if anyone else feels the same. I have one child, 2. We’re now into our 6th month ttc. I work on a big office where it just feels like everyone is pregnant and gets pregnant at the drop of a hat.

just found out another women is pregnant after just coming back from Mat leave.
anyone else feeling miserable ttc?

thanks in advance

We are also currently ttc our 2nd child too and honestly I HATE the ttc journey.

It definitely is not “the fun part” like others talk about

My son is 3.

We conceived 3 pregnancies all first try, 2 miscarried including one twin pregnancy loss and the 3rd pregnancy was successful with my son.

We are just about to go into month 4 which I know is still early days but I probably naively thought it would happen first month again.

Then I worry when we do get pregnant will I have another miscarriage. The anxiety is awful.

I think it’s hard not to get jealous of people that have easier journeys. I also know how lucky I was to fall pregnant on the first try three times although obviously miscarrying two of them pregnancies.

I’m trying to remember the guidance says it can take up to a year to get pregnant for my age group as long as there are no fertility issues although it’s hard not to stress.

I have been diagnosed with PCOS since having my son, so I am kind of aware it might take a bit longer this time

adding to my comment it’s hard when you know people who have got pregnant within a few months, go onto to have a healthy baby then on their second get pregnant within another month or two and go onto to have another healthy baby. I wouldn’t wish for anyone to have a loss, but it’s hard not to be jealous of that

I try and remember, you don't know their experience? They could have been trying a long time and / or had losses. But it's really stressful. And one of many reasons we're not going for a 2nd.. TTC and loss was too much for me to go through again.

Yes also this, especially if it’s colleagues.

I remember walking past a woman when I was heavily pregnant with my son and her making a comment to her partner about finding it tough being near pregnant woman. I don’t know her story, I don’t know if she just had a loss, or infertility.

But deep down I thought, I have lost 3 babies before having this big pregnancy bump.

And it is true. You don’t know others journeys xx

Yes, I think this is the bit I struggle with the most. I conceived my son 1st time, which at the time I thought was normal, but now realise was really lucky. I just keep thinking what’s wrong with me?! I always wanted them very close together, I thought it was romantic. But every age gap, every child is romantic.

But you are right, I don’t know other people’s journey, I’m sure there are lots of people in the office that are/have struggled, no one ever talks about that though.

The Drs have queried if I have endometriosis, so I guess I should expect a long wait.

But yeah, I hate ttc. My heart goes out to anyone struggling and I am very sorry to hear about your losses, happy it worked out for you in the end 💐

Also, thank you for taking the time to respond me ladies x

Yes I feel the same.
My time is running out too which makes it feel very desperate. I'm 42 now .

In the last year I have had three miscarriages and one of these was a twin pregnancy too.

I'm desperate to get fertility specialist help but DH is tired of it and happy with the one gorgeous DD we have. Which of course I am too but I so wanted a last child.
Since the last miscarriage in May I haven't been pregnant once. I fear the journey is over.
