I felt bad.

I called my best friend to tell her I was pregnant. She didn't seem very excited. Then she said she's been trying since Christmas, so a month. We were not trying so I think it annoyed her.Then I told her the names I like and she had the same ones picked out. I felt horrible.

I got two reactions similar to that! i had to realize that all my friends are at the age that they are "trying" right now too! i would feel a bang of jealously if everyone was getting pregnant but me too! so as excited as you are for yourself im sure you can see her side too!

but i can definitely relate!

I think you need a new BFF!  She has only been trying for one month and is so bitter she can't be happy for you???  Why are you feeling bad again???  My BFF has been trying since June, had a miscarriage right before my wedding and she wouldn't tell me because she didn't want me to be sad on my big day.  I just found out I was pg and she is still ecstatic for me.  You are not taking anything away from her by living your own life and starting a family.  Maybe I'm not getting the full story here, but it sounds like she needs to be b*tch slapped!

well hopefully she will get a BFP soon and you can share the experience.  i am sure once she has some time with the news she will be very happy for you.  she hasn't been trying very long and you didn't even know she was trying right so you needn't feel bad.

I LUBBINS YOU!

migosh!  What a downer.  I have made it widely known that I don't care if anyone already likes my names...if they wanna use them go for it.  I am not budging. 

My friend has been trying since July to get pregnant and even she was giggly with excitement when I told her.

I think a real friend would be happy for you no matter what her own personal circumstance.

My BFF was like this when I told her I was getting married. She was very stand offish and was very hard to deal with as a Bridesmaid.

What your friend does not realize is that this is not her time to be pregnant. Her time will come and if she is never able to get pregnant she can adopt. It is not like you were being spitful and trying to ruin everything for her. Regardless of how she feels she should be happy for you.

My BFF was pregnant before me and was married 2 months after me. It was shot gun wedding and she got pregnant right after the honeymoon. When she told me I was happy for her. Regardless of my circumstances. That is how you should always be.

She is a tad selfish and only cares about her circumstances.

If it was my BF i'd feel bad, too.  I know what it's like to TTC after a miscarriage while everyone else seems to get pregnant with ease or while on the pill. It's just a month difference that shouldnt matter but length of time isnt an issue...   feelings, however trivial, are still her feelings and she is your friend.  In time it'll pass.  Granted, she should try to meet you half-way and be there for you but people work through things differently. Be a good friend and empathize with her.  Let her know it's a time for her to practice patience.  As for the name game...   are they pretty popular names?  If it were ME i'd probably give more thought into the baby name thing and make my list longer...   maybe it's just coincidence or maybe you two are so close of friends that you have similar tastes.  Just be there for her...   maybe help her find out stuff about ovulation dates/times/signs to look out for??
