@court_schaeff: It's just hard all around to see other people pregnant when you're struggling to get pregnant too!!

I never realized how many pregnant women push strollers around until we had two miscarriages... and then all of a sudden, that's all I could ever see when we walked around our neighborhood.

I hope things get better soon!!!

TTC has a nasty way of bringing out the green monster in you. You never care/notice and then you start trying, it becomes all consuming, and all you can see is babies everywhere! Just know that everyone's journey is different and it'll happen for you sooner or later.

@court_schaeff: I know it's easier said than done but try and find some things to keep you busy! I went crazy when we started TTC baby #1, everything I did and thought was baby. The month I let go and relaxed and put my mind on other things was the month I got pregnant. Hang in there, soon it will be you with a baby in your belly

I second everything that @Chastenet: said-TTC can be brutal, and what they don't tell you when you start is that it will test your patience and can become very un-fun very quickly. Everyone's journey is different, but that doesn't mean anyone's is really easier, even if it appears so from the outside. TTC can be very lonely, regardless of whether you get pregnant right away, get pregnant by accident, or have to wait for your time to come.

Hang in there, lady. It's rough, but you're not alone. One thing that I had to do for me to get through our rough patches was completely give up Facebook-I was OBSESSING over everyone else's "perfect" lives, "perfect" babies, "perfect" TTC journeys, and the comparison was stealing my joy. It's hard not to compare, but it really is better!

@court_schaeff: you are not alone on this one don't worry about that! I haven't really got advice as sill impatiently ttc (month 5 but recently looking like there's going to be issues). I just try not to feel guilty now for any feelings I have. Don't want to burden my self with guilt on top of other feelings. At the moment my best friend is pg with her second, caught first month trying last month after getting ku first month with LO#1 too. When I think about that it makes me so mad and upset but then I tell myself it's normal to feel like this and it helps me pass over those feelings and on to just being happy for her and looking forward to meeting baby.

I have never had that problem before and never thought I would when TTC. I thought to myself, "I'm never going to be that person."

But now that we are TTC and a pregnant friend says, "Oh my gosh. I would trade with you in a minute. I have these headaches...and...and..."

Oh, Really? :: growl :: It's definitely something I am going to have to work through. LOL

Also, Mr. Bee is incredibly insightful.

Dude! Three months may not be that long in terms of indicating a problem but it sure as hell can feel like a long time to be waiting planning and symptom spotting. We are about to start actively TTC and I KNOW it is gonna make me a crazy person no matter how quickly it happens. Sending you a hug and baby dust.
