TTC after 35

Not wanting to reply

My friend sent me an email this week telling me about how her pregnancy is going and what they're going to name the little girl.  She then asked me if I was pregnant yet because "it's this month or next, right?".  I got married 8 months after her and then had my DS 8 months after she had her DS so we always joke about me being 8 months behind.

I haven't responded yet because I don't want to think about how I'm NOT pregnant.  I guess I'm just thinking about it a lot today and getting sad about it... I guess I'll have to respond sometime soon.  On a bright note, I made the birthday banner and moustaches for DS's birthday party and it turned out pretty darn good if I may say so myself.  Distraction is key....

  • First of all-- I think it is really smart of you to wait until you're ready/in a good place. That shows that you are a really great friend.

    As a good friend, I'm sure she will recognize if you are hesitant and can't immediately reply with excitement. I bet she also is trying to be positive with how she talks to you, as well, both about her pregnancy and your future #2. 

    This is hard enough without the added stress of MS-- and MS is hard enough without the added stress of TTC > 35. 

    Hang in there.  ((hugs))
