    I know exactly how you feel - I started a very similar thread a couple of days ago in the LT TTC forum. I have taken the advice of some of the girls there and am going to talk about what I'm going through a bit more - just to try and stop feeling so alone. I haven't tried out this new strategy yet, but I'll let you know how I go after this weekend. Good luck with everything!!

    hey ladies just needed to repost this thread! I found out on tuesday ANOTHER girl at work is pg!!! this is the 3rd one now and not to mention about 5 parents who are too I was very brave and showed excitment for her but the rest of the day the tears were just stitting their waiting to burst out and with all my mite i had to stop them! When i got home i burst into tears, Dh said to me how many ppl have to get pg before you will be able to deal with it? and im not sure of the answer, everytime i just feel the same hurt i did with the first person telling me, i just feel like iv been left behind, i thought i would be delivering a baby (high expectations) by the end of the yr but instead everyone else is falling pg around me and im still here not pg! I work in child care so i see and talk to the other staff all the time i can never escape my baby dramas because everyone is pg talking about it and im faced with children all the time. Sorry to winge im just having a down few days but im sure i will be fine 2mo! I hope your all travelling well xxx

    To be honest oneday, I still get that stab of envy when I hear of people falling pregnant naturally. I think that LTTTC and IVF have scarred me in that way.

    Hi Oneday86
    I am still very up and down about it all. Some days I'm fine and feel really positive, other days I can't bear to talk to those I know are pregnant. I don't have an easy answer, just that you know that you aren't alone. Its hard for DH's too as they try their best to understand and to be comforting but its hard for them to understand exactly how we feel. Keep going. We are in this together and we have to be positive that it WILL happen for us. xx

    Thanks mumma sue and abj very true i dont think we ever will be able to fully cope with it even when we do all fall pg but we are better ppl for what we are going through and will appreciate our babies so much more for our journeys xx
