Hi Nurse Dan. I know exactly how you are feeling. I've been TTC for 4 years now. I have no known problems, DH is fine, it just a matter of not ovulating on my own every single month. Clomid has helped that. Anyway the reason i popped in is to say that last november (just a week after what i think was a very early m/c) my SIL announced that she was pregnant. I was an absolute mess. My mum tried to tell me to be happy for them and that they too had been trying for ages. After i had calmed down ( about a week later) I asked my mum how long they had been trying for, and she told me 2 months. YOu could imagine my reaction. I totally stopped all contact with her and my brother and it came to the stage where it nearly wreaked our family....

SHe is now 6 months pregnant and i am only now able to come to terms with it and actually spend time with her. Even feel excited about it. SOme days i feel like it's an effort to be nice, but i can't change anything, and this is something i've learned the hard way. We can't control our emotions, and yes, it is sooooo hard when TTC and all of a sudden you notice pregnant women everywhere.

Let it all out.....and do what you feel is best for you. They way i'm looking at it is that even though i haven't had kids of my own, i've worked in early childcare, and had many friends who have let me do what i want with their newborns (except obviously breastfeed them LOL), and i know that my SIL has NEVER been around babies and is going to need all the help she can get.... and i would like nothing more than to be that person that she can call up if she needs help with my niece or nephew.

Hope this helps a little bit, and if it didn't then it was a good post for me to get things off my chest.

Thank you either way.... and good luck with making your own little one..
