Need of TLC

[Shinebright21]

Hi

Just found out 3 of my cousins are pregnant, and two of my best friends. I'm the last one in our group.

I'm happy but devastated for me and can't stop crying. My mum has manic depression and isn't talking to me and I have no where else to share my feelings. My husband is away for work for 3 days and besides men just don't understand.

Any kind words are appreciated x

Hi, I didn’t want to read and run. I had a long long time where I just did not fall pg whereas everyone else did including my younger SL and cousins! It was heartbreaking and my mum would say ‘your time will come’ but obviously as sweet as that is I never believed her. Now I’m the one with the younger baby and most others have older kids!
No shame in crying but remember their babies are not your babies, they haven’t taken anything from you (as I know is very easy thing to illogically think). Your baby is still to come and will happen at their right time, if that makes sense xx

It is rubbish OP, many people I know have had babies while we've been trying.
Do you and DH talk about it? He might be trying to be strong for your sake.

I don't have any inspirational words to help, there is nothing that helps me but maybe just knowing you are not alone is something.

On a practical note have you had any tests or treatment?

@Shinebright21 it's so hard and I'm so sorry. I have a big family and I'm the only one without kids, even people younger than me and I really struggle with it. I try to look at the positives if I can but that's not always easy.
If you have Instagram there are a lot of fertility bloggers and I sometimes find it helpful reading their posts and knowing I'm not alone. Fertility UK has local Facebook groups too which can support.
Thinking of you and look after yourself over this festive season and try and take time to do some things you enjoy if you can xxx

Thank you so much for all your kind words. I'm genuinely happy for the my friend especially. Her first son is autistic and she's really had a tough time. But I'm the last in our group of 6 to have a one child family, everyone else has had their second one by one. She's making the announcement on our WhatsApp group tommorow and I'm dreading it. Not because I'm not over the moon for her but everyone else will be like thank goodness I'm not last. Argh too many thoughts.

But my rational mind is saying, its not if its when. Your turn will be soon and hopefully it is. In any case my friend is passing me all her ovulation sticks as a xmas day pressie!
