Feeling sad

Kiki11Kiki11
in Infertility
I just found out that my cousin is pregnant after just a few months of trying.  I am trying to be happy for them, but I am so sad inside.  I don't think I am emotionally stable enough to handle family get-togethers (we have a big family) where the focus will all be on her and her baby and pregnancy, etc.  Nobody in the family (except my parents) know what we are going through.  This is so hard :(

    (((HUGS))) I am in the same boat, my cousin is PG with her second and nobody but my dad knows about our struggles.  I just avoid the get togethers but thats just me.

    I am so sorry.  It is so hard when someone announces their pregnancy especially only after a couple months of trying.  Hang in there!  ((hugs))

    i'm so sorry.  IF is so hard and unfair.

    I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to try to be happy for the people you care about when you are so sad for yourself. Take care of yourself tonight. (((((hugs)))))

    I understand how you feel.  One of my cousins announced her pregnancy at our family reunion this month.  Of course everyone was immediately doting on her.  I had to make sure to keep my distance so I didn't get wrapped up in it.  It hurt really bad.  Then my BFF told me she was pregnant again and they weren't even trying.  Sometimes life just sucks.

    ::hugs::  so sorry - IF sucks.  I recently had a similar vent to DH and he told me that soon it will be our turn for everyone to swoon over us and our growing belly. At the time I wanted to punch him in the face - but now it gives me hope.  I know how hard it can be. . .i often feel like chopped meat compared to my SIL/BIL ever since they were pg with no1 and are now 19wks w. no2.  But hopfully soon, we'll all have our BFP and our families can dote on us!

    you need to take care of yourself, so if you don't think you can take it, don't go. it is hard enough to deal w/what we are dealing with, so i wouldn't go into a situation i know would discourage me. you need positive reinforcement.

    I know how you feel. We found out my SIL is pregnant in March.... She's younger than us, not married, and so not ready for a baby. To top it off, she's due around our b-days. I've felt a lot of anger about the whole situation. I hope I'll come around to it, but we'll see. She lives in a different state so I don't know how often we'll see her and the baby, that may help.
