I sHare your feelings. It is really hard to see others especially siblings to have the babies we so desperately want. When will it be my turn? Question that I carry around and keep on asking. I am not going to tell you to stay positive because I am not so much anymore. But just to keep trying and maybe, just maybe in 9 months or more, it will be your turn.

I totally understand how you feel. For a long time I cut out going to baby showers and anything that had to do with a baby. We just want to know when are we going to become mothers, the one thing that we want the most in life. I truly do hope that you get your positive sooner than expecting. It's definitely a bittersweet feeling, we're excited but inside we just want to sit in a corner and cry. I hope you get to meet your baby soon!

I agree with you and the others. It's not that we don't want to see others become pregnant and have a baby....It's just that we have been through so much, trying, crying, loss, and disappointment that makes one easily question just about anything there is. Stay the course, don't lose hope. I am getting ready to write a journal entry on unanswered prayer soon. It is a subject that has been occupying my mind for quite a while now. Much love <3

Thank you, guys for moral support!!

I'm really happy for them and I feel proud when someone calls me aunt. I can't wait to meet my little niece :)

About those sad feelings, I got through them, having some fun time with my hubby... And, I'll be totally honest - 7 dpo and I gave myself permission to obssess about (imaginary or real) symptoms - now I have something to hope for.

I know exactly how you feel.

My sister in law gave birth last Sunday, and I'm still here sitting on the short end of the stick with no BFP after 3 years.

Lets keep in touch and keep positive. I believe we will get our turn. I understand how frustrating it is. I'm also very happy to be an aunty, although jealous inside.

I am not sure if I might have striked it lucky this month, although i'm so used to being disappointed every time AF arrives. Also not really sure what to do or how to feel about it.
