We have become that couple

So most of our friends are now onto baby #2 while we're still trying for #1.  This weekend our friends told us they were pg with #2 but said they were hesitant to tell us b/c they didn't want to make us feel bad.

I appreciate their sensitivity, but it's not even like DH and I have been through that much compared to a lot of people having TTTC.  It was nice of them to be concerned about how we'd take the news but I don't want people to feel like they need to walk on egg shells around us.  I'm really happy for them.

It just makes me feel like they pity us.  I don't want anyone to pity us.  Sure, I have days when I'm really down and feel like it'll never happen, but I try to remain hopeful that it'll happen one way or another.

    I know EXACLTY how you feel because the same thing happened to me last week (a friend found out she is PG with #2 and said she was afraid to tell me). I was like "WTF, we have only been TTC for 10 months!"

    It sucks so much. It hate the idea of other people feeling sorry for us. Yeah, we do feel a little sad when someone announces they are PG, but I'd much rather someone just treat me the same as everyone else and let me feel sorry for myself in private.

    Pity sucks.  But I always have to remind myself that it also means I have good friends who were trying to be sensitive to my feelings.  Sorry you're feeling like "that couple"  :(

    Well I don't ever feel like that because most people I know had their kids like 13 years ago!  LOL.  It is so crazy how everyone I know my age had kids at least 8 years ago.  Well it seems to me there are two groups.  Those that have older kids and those that have none.  I only know one other couple TTC and they don't have any kids.
