Pregnant friends - I feel awful

[Namechangeforthiscry]

I'm infertile, I've had four unsuccessful attempts at fertility treatment and can't afford to pay for any more. Two friends have announced they are pregnant over the last few days. The one today excitedly told me she had some happy news to share and then showed me her scan photo. I should be happy for her but I just feel devastated and I've cried for two hours tonight. Of my family and friends I am now the only one without a child or one due. Anyone else in my position?

Hi @Namechangeforthiscry, sorry to hear this. Having been trying to conceive my first for a while now I think this is one of the most difficult parts of the entire process. It is so tough to hear others good news when you are having such a tough time ttc. Depending on what your fertility issues are it can sometimes help to hear positive stories of those who have tried IVF and been unsuccessful then out of the blue have got on to conceive naturally. There are quite a few on mumsnet! Taking each day at a time is useful for me as well as getting out for a walk every day and escaping into a good book. Take care xxx

I know how you feel although I think we will do more IVF but I'm not that hopeful it will work. It's really really hard. I'm the same if I see a pregnancy announcement or start my period I'm literally crying for the rest of the day. I've deleted all social media a few times but now with lockdown easing it's real life too.
No easy answers, but yes taking time out to do things for you and that make you happy and maybe trying to think about how you want to shape your future if you feel ready to do that.
Is further treatment completely out the question? (I only mention this as if it's purely a cost issue is there a possibility of IVF abroad?) Xx
