Question

Is it difficult for you to see other women get pregnant so easily when you're trying everything?

I have 3 friends that have told me they are pregnant and although I'm happy for them i keep wondering why not me, I've tried opks temperature reading charting pills teas lol...my cycle is very very regular every 26-28 days like clock work in have 3 kids, last one being 10 years ago no birth control lol, what's the problem. I'm 35 I'm thinking I will probably never get my fourth that I've always wanted.

I definitely understand and yes it is very hard. You want to be happy, but your filled with anger and depression at the same time. I am 36 and me and my husband have been trying for 19 cycles. Since then I had an old co worker get pregnant who just started a new relationship after a divorce and wasn't trying.....not even thinking about it. I also had my step daughter (19 at the time) get pregnant from basically a one night stand. That one was HARD!!! She just moved in with us a few months prior, knew we were trying, was only working about 15 hrs a week.... Definitely not in a position to have a child and out of no where slap to the face. I do have a beautiful granddaughter, but she will most likely never know who her father is and my step daughter will struggle for a long time since she's a single mother and not in a good or even decent financial position.

Man that's hard. I'm glad she has a support system and this is definitely going to be a life lesson for her. Glad to see I'm not alone I'm around the same time as you 15 months and nothing at all its gut wrenching. I had a intuitive friend ask me am I pregnant and if I wasn't pregnant that I will be soon. I so desperately want this to be true. Thank you for responding I don't feel as bad now lol.

I lost my baby in September. My friend was pregnant at the same time. And went on to have a beautiful heathy boy. She seems to have no regard for my feelings and stated oh honey it wasn't meant to be. It makes me so angry that she has no sympathy no one does! They all seem to think oh it's for the best must be something was wrong with the baby you can try again my due date was supposed to be April 13 it's coming up fast and I feel worse then ever. I feel like people that have not gone through this tragedy have no idea how much it hurts and what it's really like.

I'm 36. I have a 4-year-old and would love to have another. I have gotten pregnant only twice since May 2015 and lost them at 5 weeks. Everyone who had kids around the time I had my first (before and after) have now had their second, my sister in law as well. I try to be happy for everyone, but after trying for a year since the last loss, I have found out I have issues with my tubes and the docs said there is basically no chance I can get pregnant, bc tubes are blocked and enlarged and who knows what else. Hubby doesn't want to do IVF, which we were told is likely our only choice, so I have to suck it up and be happy with just one, when all I want to do is CRY! Family keeps asking when are we having another. They have no clue and ask with sincere hope for us, but it stings. You're not alone. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, too.
