the green eyed monster.

Been really down lately as my mates keep getting them BFP, and these gorgeous bubba's and still nothing for me..
Had to go baby shopping today with my best bud Leah as she just found out she's 4 & a half months gone, im really happy for her but cant help but be jealous!!
I brought my mate a really cute pair of shoes with 3 little outfits, and some bedding..
I wanted to keep it all

Is this a normal feeling when TTC? Or am i just a weirdo for looking at total strangers in jealousy as they have what i could only ever dream of having?
It would be nice to think im not the only jealous weird one!!
xoxo

No hon, you're not the only one... While I am not jealous, I really do wish I could be pregnant too... I really enjoy talking to those who are pregnant or just had a baby about 'stuff' and I love baby things. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as I am not obsessive...(I think I'm not

)

It is perfectly normal!!! I felt like this when we were trying to conceive.....(and it took us over 5 years

)your turn will come but I know how frustrating it is each month.... I had friends conceive 2 children while I was going to the hosp for all my tests......I still feel like it a bit now even thought Im not trying at the mo!

Hey hun this is totally normal!! Try to think that when you're shopping for stuff or talking to friends you are just preparing for when it's you and you'll be more informed that anyone! Remember it's something you will get to do too, not something your friends can have and you can't. And it's lovely that you're buying cute stuff for them - you're obviously a great friend - but your baby will have all next seasons stuff!!! xxxxxxxxxx

I'm sure you'll get you BFP soon hun

you are deffintley not the only one, my husband and I have been TTC for 3 years, I have PCOS, and no one else in my family has fertility problems. It seems like every time i turn around someone in my family is having another baby. I totally understand the slight twinge of jealousy, even though I am happy for my other family members, I just want it to be my turn.

FaiiryDustt · Jun 27th, 2009, 06:34 AM
