Forum: TTC and Coping with Someone Elses PG.

My sister-in-law just announced she is pregnant with triplet naturally. was twins then one split. When I found out, of course I acted thrilled. However, I suddenly felt myself turn very negative. I immediately was put into a bad mood. Then I started to feel guilty. After 3 years of TTC and IVF I...

wut the crap?! i swear being infertile means everyone you know or meet is pregnant!!! i had 2 find a new girl 2 do my hair and (of course) she's preggo (newly preggo at that) so i got 2 hear all abt her pregnancy......for 3 hours!!! Really? REALLY?!?! :banghead: and i swear it mustve been new...

First of all, i need to warn u all, i am an OR nurse and this may be too graphic for some, but i have got to get this out of me......i've cried so much abt today. i have done a lot in the OR, but this was the worst thing i have ever had to be a part of. we had a pregnant patient without fetal...

First off i just joined Fertile thoughts the other day, and this is my first post. so here goes. Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for 15months now. We kept it on the down low that we were trying to get pregnant from friends and family as i didnt want the pressure on us...but 7...

So life is so unfair!! Me and DH have been married and trying to get pg for five years now. After no luck on our own and failed IUI's and just heartbreaking news that we most likely wouldn't be able to because of his count, we decided to take a break. My lil sis who just got married in april and...

Hey!! I am new here and just plain need to vent!!!!! Why are there pregnant people everywhere? This morning I go to work.... with my partner who has a pregnant wife... I get on facebook and see all these freaking i'm whatever weeks pregnant posts... I know there's like 5 girls on my facebook with...

So I have been TTC for 20 months now. My close friends know a lot about it and some of my family. Also a few gals at work since we spend so much time together. Well, I swear since we first saw a doc for our IF workup EVERYONE has been getting pregnant. Suddenly 4 people, whom I consider friends...

Instead of a rant, I will let you all just read the following email from my pregnant SIL: One way or another, I honestly think it will all work out for you. :). Don't stress. Easier said than done, I know. But, maybe it's the anxiety that makes the situation more complicated?! Haha. :)))) ...

Okay, so I am pretty sure someone else has a thread about this somewhere, but I can't find it... soooo here goes: How do you ladies deal with baby showers for friends and family? I went to one for a friend when we were first starting to deal with IF, and that was almost too much to handle......

In my department, we've had a number of girls go/going on mat leave. Unfortunately, they haven't been replaced yet. I go to book my vacation and get rejected because we're short staffed. I feel like I'm somehow being punished.

I guess we will be welcoming to more babies in to our family in the near feature two of my younger cousins ( 1 is my cousin and 1 is my cousins girlfriend) cousin A is married but neither of them have a job and just had a baby a few months ago and they really didn't need the one that they do have....

I'm new here, haven't really posted yet. I know this board doesn't get a lot of activity, but the topic is near and dear to me right now. I've been TTC for about 2.5 years now and the past year I swear the majority of the women I know are pregnant/have babies. For about a year now, it's been one...

Does anyone else want to slap people when they say this? It's like a slap in the face all in it's own. I never know what to say, but always feel like letting them know that I can't have kids and they made me feel terrible. Who else hates this phrase?

I have been ttc for 5 years now and I have the "only person left behind syndrome". I am not in a good position since all of my friends are in their early 30s and everyone is trying to start a family or already has 1-2 kids. So when your friends tell you that they are pregnancy, how do you react...

I stumbled across this website the other day while in tears over the fact that I just found out my SIL is pregnant. I am having a flood of emotions about this, none of them good. I am also so mad at my mother in law for telling and for the things she said to me. It makes me so angry, because my SIL...

Like many offices nowadays, mine is set up as an "open desk" environment, which means I can hear and see everyone nearby. Last year an extremely chatty, gorgeous, wealthy, early 20-something woman was seated in the row of desks right next to my team. I soon found out she was pregnant... with twins!...

I have never been so heartbroken in my life. My BIL's gf sent me a facebook message today that she needed to talk to me. They just announced their engagement (getting married but he didn't give her a ring... that should have been a big clue right there); in the back of my mind I thought "they're...

Hi I am just going to vent. Everyone around me is pregnant. I have been trying for 4-5yrs now. Feel guilty for my husband, sometime he is just in the way of my mood swing. Last year, I had a chemical pregnancy after first IVF. 9 eggs. 7 fertilised and 6 went through to the blastocyst stage....

i know a woman who just had a baby. she knows that i've been trying for over 2 years to get pregnant because we use to see each other around the gym where i told her about our struggles to get pregnant (and back then the 2 m/cs i had had). i saw her today, holding her new baby, talking to...

I am so upset. My SIL announced her pregnancy today & I am trying so hard to be happy for her but I am so selfish. All I can think about is 'me & DH are trying 5 years now & we would be such great parents whereas his SIL has had numerous partners in the past few months & falls pregnant' Please...

am married for 4 yrs and we never successfully had intercourse, i mean my hubby cannot ejaculate inside my vagina but thru masturbation.so to get pregnant, after litttle foreplay and his masturbation can i just put the semen with fingers inside my vagina as much inside as i can and lie down for a...

Hi everyone, I just had to ask what anyone thinks about what happened to me with my in-laws recently. Has anyone had something like this happen and what did they do or how did they handle it. I see my in-laws almost every day. Last week my mom-in-law told me she would be babysitting "the...

is getting Pg or giving birth! My co-worker announced her daughter and daughter in law were both pg in January, and they're both due in the next 4 weeks now. My other co-worker announced she was pg about 5 days after my first IUI which did not work lol. A good friend of ours got pg after her...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to take a second to vent. I feel like this site is the best place for me to do so...(thanks for always being so kind to me, by the way :) ) I feel so guilty for being bitter and jealous of my SIL, who is over 5 months pregnant. My brother moved in with her in...

I was reading some of the other posts and thinking to myself how alot of "fertiles" say things-- I don't think they mean cruelly but they cut so deep. Sometimes it's when they tell you they are pg in a particularly thoughtless way other times when they are actually trying to reassure you. Alot...
