And you know, obviously I'm happy for her. But I've been trying for a year and a half now, and it's clear that my infertility isn't better now that I've managed to have one child. It is so hard to see everyone around me just getting pregnant the moment they decide to, all the while I'm wondering when or if I'll ever be able to have any more children.

Hugs. It really really sucks when those around you get pregnant when you've been trying been for so long. Everyone in the world was announcing pregnancies when i was in the trenches. Made ig so much harder to see stark white on those strips. Hugs. I hope you get your BFP soon.
-
lots of hugs. the mixed feelings are totally understandable. also hoping for your BFP soon.
-
I'm sorry. I hope you get your BFP soon!
-
Ugh :((( Praying that you get your BFP soon!!
-
I'm sorry. I know the feeling well. It sucks! Hoping you get your bfp soon!
-
Aw, I'm so sorry. TTC is a b!tch..and that's the nicest way I can put it. Crossing my fingers for you.
-
I hope you get pregnant soon!!!
-
I'm sorry you're struggling.
I hope you get pregnant again soon!!!My SIL struggled to get pregnant the first time and I'm sure it was hard for her to hear it didn't take us long when we started trying. She's trying again and struggling again, as well. While I can't understand what you are going through, I do feel for you as I have seen this first hand in my family, too.

@sarac: oh bummer.
text me if you want to talk.
-
I'm sorry. We are pregnant with our first now after a year of trying and medical intervention. Every time someone would post of FB I would delete them. Then someone I worked with got pregnant month one and said stupid things like, "OMG I don't even know how it happened! I don't see what every one gets so stressed about, it was so easy." I used to go home and cry to DH. I hope and pray that you will get pregnant again soon!

@ladybee: People can be so insensitive. I wish they'd be more careful about what they say.
-
It's really hard to see others obtain so easily what you have been struggling for.
-
@sarac: It is so hard to see others have so easily what is like an impossible dream for us. I hope it's not much longer for you!
@ladybee: No matter what their intention, when people mention how quickly they got pregnant it's like having salt rubbed in a wound isn't it?
-
Sorry to hear it
Does your sister know about your struggles? Hopefully she is sensitive to your feelings.We're heading out of town to visit DH's family and I'm afraid that his sister is going to announce being pregnant with #2...
-
Aww, I'm sorry! Family getting pregnant is so much harder on me.
My younger sister just told me that she has started TTC. I'm just bracing myself for the announcement. I'm sure it will happen soon.
Oh, my sister was very supportive of my feelings after I told her it was hard for me to hear about her TTC. We aren't best buds but when it comes to IF she has other friends who are going through the same stuff.
-
My sister is very supportive. We started trying at the same time the first time, and I managed to get pregnant with clomid 5 months after she did, so our daughters are really close in age. This time, we've been trying for more than a year, and even with clomid, I'm not sure it'll be as easy. I'm not really convinced I'll ever get pregnant again, honestly.
-
i'm sorry. it must be hard to hear that. hugs!
-
I think it's the hardest to hear when your family and close friends get pregnant. Especially when it feels like it is taking you forever. My sister is due any day now with her second child and I sometimes STILL get sad that I didn't manage to have my first before she had her second.
I remember reaching out to you when I was struggling with my IF journey. I hope you get your BFP for #2 soon and I can reach out to you again when I'm working on #2
Hugs!

I know exactly how you feel. The last time my sister told me that she was pregnant (with her 2nd), I was torn: I love being an aunt and I'm super happy for her, but I also wanted to shake her and say "don't you know *I* wanted to be pregnant?!! How could you do this to me?"
My SIL and a cousin got pregnant around that same time (with their 2nds), so our family was suddenly inundated with pregnant ladies. It was heartbreaking. But wouldn't you know it, that's when I ended up getting my BFP too!
I hope everything goes well - I hope your sister's pregnancy goes smoothly and that your BFP isn't far behind.
-
Sending hugs.

@pui: It is absolutely awful how insensitve people can be. But really... I think the majority of people are clueless about how pregnacy can be such a struggle. I envy such a person's naivety. I wish I didn't know all that I do know about pregnancy.
-
Im so sorry. Thinking of you and hoping for some great news from you soon.
-
I'm sorry you're struggling. It must be hard.
-
@MrsMcD: Same here. I wish I lived in that world.
-
I very much relate to this thread! My sister, who had told me she was done with babies, called to tell me she is pregnant with her fourth. I was the last in the family to be told, which made me feel worse. It's hard. Hugs to you.
-
Sorry @Sarac
I can definitely relate with friends and family members getting their BPFs so quickly while we struggle. hugs!
I hope you get pregnant again soon!!!
Hugs!
