My BFF is also TTC. I hope we have LOs around the same age, even though she does love far away.

not that I know of! I have some mom friends but none have mentioned TTC. my cousin may be NTNP but we don't live close together

Yes, but she wasn't a great TTC buddy, because she knew about my IF, and apologized in advance because she 'knew she was super fertile and would be pregnant next week.'

Yep, at least 2 friends were actively TTC at the same time. All of us had miscarriages, and 2 of us had 2 so it was a long process for all of us. As of now, one has a 4mo old, I'm 28 weeks, and the third just found out she's pregnant a week ago. This goes in the order we started trying too.

@sorrycharlie: @Leialou: she had some entitlement issues. I got pregnant three weeks before her though...so it worked out

My bF and I started TTC at the same time. We ended up having our LOs a month apart. It was awesome going through pregnancy and our mat leaves together. I think next time I'll be TTC before her though as she's still struggling with sleep.

Sort of! I'm almost 9 weeks now, and two of my closest friends have young kiddos (4 months and 1 year). My cousin's wife (they only live about ten minutes away from us!) is due 3 months before me--so that is going to be super fun.

i had a GF who i thought would be around the same time... and our LOs are 3 weeks apart! so fun!

One of my friends and I got married very close together and both started trying shortly after. Our little ones ended up being around 5 months apart. Sometimes it was fantastic...other times honestly it is a bit of a stressor. I actually hope that our next children ( if we both want to/are lucky enough to have any more ) are further apart in age.
I think however this depends on the friendship whether it would be this way or not. I am sure it works out wonderfully for some

A good friend is also TTCing, but she lives across the country. Another one is battling infertility, and we meet often.

DH's two best friends wanted to schedule TTC together. I was so against it because I knew it would set someone up for disappointment. DH and I did our own thing on our own time. We ended up with 3 babies born within 3 months. One is pregnant again, the other is trying and so are we (although DH & I keep that on the DL).

my sil started trying around the same time we did (except we kept quiet about the fact we were trying too) She now has a week old baby and I'm waiting for my bfp.

A good friend and I started TTC at the same time and we ended up due five days apart - and it took us a year to conceive!

I thought we were going to be the first of our good friends to have a baby before we started ttc, but 2 babies were born a few months before lo, and one couple had a loss right before our bfp and is now due in July. I didn't talk to any of them about ttc though-- weirdly I talked about it instead with two of my close friends who are single

One of my co-workers, turned good friend, was TTC in our last year of TTC. She went through a miscarriage early on in TTC and confided in me about it. Her sister was actually a nurse in our IVF clinic! The day we found out the sex of our twins she brought me a post it note with her beta # on it to tell me she had just found out she was pregnant! Of course I cried at work! My sister was also TTC almost the entire time we were. She's also finally pregnant after her second FET! Our TTC journey was long so there were lots of other friends who got pregnant while we were trying, but we didn't really bond over it. It seems like everyone else in my life has gotten pregnant very quickly.

A good friend at work started TTC just after I got my BFP and now we're both pregnant!!

A few of my mom friends are trying for #2 and my BFF and I have children 5 months apart. It's been really nice!

No, but I'm the only one in my group of friends that doesn't have a baby yet.
pomelo / 5129 posts
Not technically...but DH and I know 19 people having babies this year, so we'd like to have a LO similar in age to our closest friends.
And I have a few friends around the country who are also trying. But everyone close to me has stopped trying because they've already been successful!

I have two friends that will be TTC #2 this summer! I want pregnant buddies!
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
Nope. One of our friends got pregnant 3 months after I did and that was kind of cool.
I was planning on getting preggo later this year with my BFF but she got pregnant late last year.

3 of my friends are having babies between July and Sept so they were TTC (or just NTNP) before me. My SIL is due about the same time so she must have been TTC for #2 the same time I was for #1~

Yes my BFF and I got pregnant a month apart but she lives across the country. This summer we hope to start TTC for #2 and I have two good friends that are TTC this summer for their #3s. It would be fun if we all had little ones around the same age.

I would love to be TTC with a friend at the same time. I have a doctors appointment next month, and then we are going to start TTC. A friend had a miscarriage at the beginning of the year, and they are taking a break for a few months (they have a few vacations coming up this summer) but I think they might try this fall again. I know of one other acquaintance that is TTC right now.

A friend was pregnant the same time as me for LO 1 and her EDD was the day before mine.
My SIL was two months ahead of me for LO 2.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
Yep, but neither of us were aware! Their LO is 11 days older than our daughter, it's fun. THey love each other and are BFFs...and they only live 5 houses away so we have a built in play buddy!

Yep. I lived with four other girls in college and we all had daughters within nine months of each other. We didn't talk about TTC.
This time Travelgirl and I talked about TTC every morning and got knocked up within two weeks of each other.

Yes, my close friend confided in me telling me she was TTC. I was too so we got really excited at the thought of having little ones together. I got pregnant and told her early on. She was really happy for me but I could tell she was a little sad not to be pregnant too. Anyway, it turned out she was also pregnant the day I told her. We are due a few days apart! So exciting as otherwise I would be the only person I know who is having / has a baby.

Sort of. Two friends got pregnant a couple months before me and one a couple months after. I only knew that one was trying.
ETA: End result: 4 baby boys born within a year of each other.

One of my good friends is trying as well, but she's getting two periods in a month so it's been difficult. I haven't been ovulating so we are quite the TTC pair!

Oh and my SIL is like 8 weeks pregnant, so I hope I get pregnant this month!

With my first pregnancy, a really good friend of mine was due a month ahead of me. There were 8 of us due between March and August that year - we still keep in touch 8 years later.
My second pregnancy my BFF was a few months behind me with her first.
For my third, another good friend was due within days of me, but miscarried. She got knocked up again a few months later and our babies are 3 months apart.

We didn't really discuss it but two of my best girlfriends and myself were all pregnant at the same time!! They were born in July, October and December -- so fun

Our close friends are TTC their 2nd right now. I hope we can be KU around the same time.

One friend who had her baby 6 days ago and I'm currently 23 weeks. Tough 4 months where she was pregnant and I was not.
