hey been ttc for 3 years and one month and recently found out my friend is pregnant with her 3rd first try and she’s having a girl i’m really
happy for her but i feel sad at the same time for me and she also complains a lot about her clothes not fitting her anymore and i do feel it’s a bit insensitive to be saying that, am i overreacting?

Oh I feel you @paigelucyyyyxoxox ! It is so hard, especially when some people get pregnant SO easily when you are having a hard time. Honestly, I have avoided certain people who are pregnant at times when I'm finding things hard. Do what you need to do to protect your mental health.

Does she know you are ttc?

I think people who haven't struggled with fertility just don't understand how hard it feels.

Im so sorry OP! I know exactly how you feel. Ive been trying for 3 years and 2 months now - unexplained secondary infertility. I also have friends who are currently pregnant - im over the moon for them, but completely heartbroken for myself.
I have 1 friend who is pregnant with her 2nd child - due in the next few weeks
I have another friend due in May with her 3rd - it was unplanned.
Ive already had other family and friends who had their 2nd, 3rd, 4th baby whilst ive been struggling.
I just wish it would be my turn already. So I know exactly how youre feeling 😞
