Secondary Infertility - coping with others pregnancy talk - Having a bad day

I and DP have been TTC for our second one for 7 years. We haven't explored all our options for treatments, but time goes so quickly.

In the last few weeks 2 of my colleagues have announced their pregnancies and 1 is due to go on maternity leave in a couple of months. Naturally talk in the office happens about babies and I usually join in with my experiences I had with DD (now 7).

Today we were talking about it again, nothing much, just about routines with a new born baby and breast feeding. I was contributing to the conversation, but starting to feel sad.

At lunch time I had to go for a walk to clear my hear, but ever since I can't get my head back to work. I keep feeling sad and tearful and googling coping with baby talk while infertile.

I am extremely grateful for my DD and our family, but need a coping mechanish for helping me drag myself out of this afternoon slump I just can't seem to get out of.

Does anyone have any tips on how you cope in those moments when tears rise and needing to get back to work?

I try to distract myself by trying to work, but keep going back to googling and feeling ever sadder.

Thanks
It helps just knowing others are going through the same .

Though I wish none of us were.
