how do you deal with so many friends being pregnant when you can't seem to conceive?
I have numerous friends that either just got pregnant and are EXTREMELY happy about it or are about ready to have their babies. I am very happy for all of them, but it breaks my heart every time one of them talks about it. I know that my husband and I haven't been trying for all that long, but it still hurts. My sister in law for example got pregnant while her husband was home on his two week RR from Iraq. Its such a small window that I think, what are the chances that the two week period in which he was home was the right time....then what are the odds that the time took? I know I should just stop and be happy for them, but how do you pretend that your not broken inside?

I totally know what your going through. All my friends little sisters are getting pregnant now. None of them stay with there babies dads. It is very hard to deal with.My sister in law and I were going to try to get pregnant at the same time after I got married and it turned out she was pregnant at my wedding. Now she is a month away from her due date and I cant seem to conceive!
Just try to stay, positive, it is very hard, and it is hard on your relationship too!! I had a nervous breakdown about it just last night, because another girl I went to school with got pregnant, and she is doing drugs as well... so it is very hard!
Try not to surround yourself with them that much. I know it is hard but you dont want to bring them down or lose your friends because of it.
Good Luck and baby dust to you

Honey, i feel for you. I was TTC for 2 yrs before i finally got pregnant. My sister in law announced her pregnancy after i was trying for 16 months. They had been TTC for just 5 months! It was hard to deal with- i was SO happy for them, but devastated for us.
My friends are TTC at the moment too, and i worry about making them jealous etc. But i did my time, and i have every right to be over the moon about my baby.
I believe that we get pregnant when we're meant to. I finished my degree halfway through my pregnancy, and hubby's job is going better than ever. My parents have the time to spend time with the baby etc. You will get pregnant when you're meant to too.
How long have you been TTC? If it's a year, go to the docs. If it's only been a few months, then try not to fret. most couples take an average of 6 months. and only 80% of couples get pregnant within a year.
And just think of all the free baby stuff you'll score off all these ppl! they won't need it by the time your baby is born! Woot!

i will understand her habit yet there's no excuse. in severe college i had a specified chum and the two one human beings have been the only ones in our communities to have by no potential had boyfriends and thanks to that our bond grew truly sturdy. finally while she have been given a boyfriend and that i hadn't had one i became into jealous and it discovered as anger. dealing with an identical war truly bonds human beings (i'm older now and that i'm no longer asserting being 17 and not having a boyfriend is a disaster via any potential). if she's in her 30's even with the shown fact that she's sufficiently old to renowned her emotions and cope with them. being a chum potential on occasion you need to contain your anger and envy because of the fact it truly is truly lost. perhaps do no longer shrink her out of your existence thoroughly, yet truthfully attempt and make some new pals. you deserve this infant and you mustn't permit all people make you experience in any different case for the period of the main surprising area of your lie. misery loves enterprise and he or she's gonna attempt her toughest to make you depressing till it makes her experience greater effective which will by no potential ensue. love and help her yet locate some new love and help of your guy or woman because of the fact it would not sound like your getting plenty from her.

Hi Amy just wanted to wish you luck, i too understand only i'm not quite at your stage yet! i haven't even got the courage to speak to my other half about coming off contraception but i too am surrounded by mums to be or parents. I'm very happy for them but also very envious of what they have. I'm sure you'll be in that position soon, just find all the courage to stay positive and furthermore enjoy your baby making practice, i truly believe that as soon as you relax and get rid of some of that anxiety that nature will take its course, wishing you the very very best keep smiling and enjoy your time together, will keep my fingers crossed for you both! good luck x
