We have been TTC since August 2013. I fully understand you and yes, it's normal to be struggling with these feelings. It's next to impossible to not be affected by others' "baby success". You should not feel bad about yourself but definitely don't let your current situation turn you bitter. This will only backfire and suck every joy out of you. I try to focus on being thankful for what I have. Contentment is the key to happiness with or without a baby. Focusing on patience will get you through months of waiting. It's not lost time, it can be a very fruitful time if you allow it to be. Ultimately, you are experiencing personal growth, building of character. Great traits to have once it's your turn to announce a BFP. Stay upbeat, many are going through trials like these. Often, what appears to happen without effort for some has a sad past of losses and pain that we don't know about. Best wishes.

Thank you Mozart. Honestly that was really kind of you to say...puts things into bit of a perspective for me.

Thank you Mozart, this was also helpful for me as I have been trying to conceive since May 2013 with no luck. I have felt exactly like sumersky2015 for a very long time. I currently have 10 friends in my life who are pregnant and have felt it impossible to even leave the house in the past because i didnt want to be around any one pregnant. I have been seeing someone and working on getting past this, its working so far. but i have a long way to go. so thank you!!!

Keep your head up summmersky2015, dont lose hope! i almsot did and it nearly destroyed me and my marriage! baby dust to you!!!
