    Yep another here who can relate to those feelings. Been TTC three years and I also dread those announcements and can get myself quite upset just thinking about it. I know it is not thier fault either and it's only me processing what I have been through and grieving for what I don't have.. It's hard because it is such mixed emotions trying to be happy for them while dealing with your own grief...

    Thank you everyone for sharing how you felt too. It is sort of reassuring to know that I am not the only one who feels like this. I guess, even 3+ years since finding out we needed IVF, I am still coming to terms with it. I talk about it with other people but none of my closest friends have had IVF or similar trouble TTC.

    To those without babies yet, it is so much harder for you. Sending you lots of

    I was thinking about this the other day and I realised a lot of it is jealousy. I want what they have (an easy conception). I think I need to let go of wishful thinking and accept my lot in life. I have been blessed with children, no matter how they came.
