Hi everyone - I am crying my eyes out and need to rant!

OMG - I really have had enough of ttc.

Soooooo many of my friend have got their bfp - it seems I am surrounded by 'happy baby news'.

I have a group of 4 best friends - 2 have recently had children and 1 is pregnant. The other has moved away so doesn't see us much. I just don't want to go out with the other 3 on my own - it upsets me. 1 of them in particular talks about nothing but children - and then I just feel useless.

My friend who has moved away called me last week. She is not a phone person and rarely calls me. I was so scared to answer the phone in case I heard more happy baby news!

2 other friends are also preggars - 1 facebooked me tonight to tell me and I burst into tears! How would I have coped if she told me face to face?!

I know I should be happy for them and I am - I just can't cope with the feeling of hopelessness and sadness ttc brings!

I feel like hiding away - I honestly don't want to talk to anyone. I do have 3 single friends who aren't preggars - but they just don't get it and if I talk about it with them I feel like I am making a fuss over nothin!

I HATE THIS!

I know exactly how you feel, when my sis announced she was pregnant in July it knocked my and I was an emotional mess for days!

I think she's put something in the water though as over the past two months, four of her friends have announced that they are pregnant and two of mine have too.

I guess most people have absolutely no problems with getting pregnant and have never even thought of charting, doing ovulation tests, losing weight, taking supplements and drugs and then taking a pregnancy test and seeing another negative result.

Sometimes it's just too damn hard!

Stay positive though, I'm sure our time will come xx

I can totally relate. So many of my friends are getting pregnant and it is really hard to be around. I've been avoiding baby showers. My father told me over the phone two days ago that my cousin's wife is pregnant again and got very upset. It's easier for me to take the news if I know the person also had trouble conceiving - that feels different - but I'm really jealous when it seems like it was so easy for them.

Remember to take care of yourself. You aren't alone - and you can decide to take a break from pregnant or mommy friends for a little while if you need to. If they are real friends, they will try to understand.

Hang in there.

I think the biggest trouble I have is that I haven't told anyone that we're trying for a baby even though it's been so long. I just can't handle their added pressure so I find myself shrugging off their "When are you two having a little one?" question like it's the furthest thing from my mind.....if only they knew

I completely understand how you feel. I fear I'll have no friends left soon as I spend my whole time avoiding them because they either have babies and spend their whole time talking about them, they're pregnant or I'm terrified they'll tell me they're pregnant. Every time one of my friends comes back to visit I'm convinced she's going to announce she's pregnant. My little sister has told me she wants to start TTC soon and I'm scared to death about how I'm going to deal with it when she announces she's pregnant.
It's true that you just don't understand how it feels unless you've been through this. It feels like one big black cloud over your life the whole time and it seems so unfair that getting pregnant comes so easy to most people.
Staying positive is so difficult, but it's the only thing you can do or you'd drive yourself mad.
I'm totally feeling your pain but our time will come x

I'm with you all on this one. Since we've been TTC I've had SIX friends become pregnant, all of them within a couple of months of starting to try. One was an 'accident' and she even took the morning after pill, which was especially hard to deal with - the fact that she still got pregnant. Three of the people have had their babies and three are about to have them in the next few weeks. One of the couples hadn't even MET when we started trying and have since met, married and got pregnant, with the baby due this week! I have a friend who is getting married in a few months and she's already told me they're going to start trying as soon as they're married, and I'm soooooooo worried of not being pregnant by then as by then we would have been trying for two years, and I just know I would feel devastated if they just start trying two years later and get a baby before us. She kind of annoyed me the other day actually as she said 'knowing my luck I'll end up taking ages like you'. I found that quite an insensitive thing to say, almost as though it was a joke. But I know by now not to take anything a non-LTTTCer says about TTC to heart as they don't know how it feels to be in this position.

It will be our turn soon. xx

wow, i can so relate

I can relate, about 2 friends pregnant and my sis pregnant!!

I had friends who have given birth since i have been ttc, and still here

I can definitely relate

This is catching like a cold isn't it.

Two of my best friends are pregnant. T

The first one was a total accident and before it happened she wanted to leave her partner. Then to add insult to injury she didnt tell me until she was 16 weeks (she lives away from my area) and then just emails me saying ring me I have news. I knew straight away and I like to think I am a nice person but inside I was seething. Turns out other people we both know knew before me and this is my best mate!! Her partner has since told me she didnt feel able to tell me. Which again insulated me. Now she is due in a few weeks and obviously talks about it non stop but yet she never asks me how we are getting on.

Its so tough !!!! xxxx
