I am very used to the constant pregnancy announcements from friends and family, it's just the season we are in right now. I admit it can sting a bit, just because it's a reminder of where we are at with things, but I'm generally ok.
What I was not prepared for is the people that have already had their babies, and are now announcing third pregnancies! I've had several friends, who started trying around the same time we did, had a second child and are now having a third. I feel so broken!! Why is this taking so freaking long...???

Hugs honey!!! I know, I know!! One of my best friends annouced her 2nd pregnancy, an "oopsie" and we started trying when she was 7 months pregnant with her first. It stung, but I am too overjoyed to pity myself. Is there any bright side?
I find the bright side, me and 4 other girls in dd's birth club have had a terrible times, some with recurrent losses, one with a 2nd tri loss, one with 5 failed IUI's and a failed IVF, one with annovulation, just a variety of hardships. All of us trying for over a year. All but 3 of us are pregnant now, within the last 3 months. The one with the failed IUI's and IVF just had FET and is pregnant! So, my time has to be coming!
Yours is too PDX. I understand exactly how you feel, month after month of pain and anguish. Your time is coming! If only we could plan for everything! NOTHING in my life has turned out as planned! Have faith sweetie!!! Lots of hugs!!
You are too sweet Baboo. I know that it will all happen in good time, and I don't mean to whine about others fortune because I really am happy for them. I think it just really sets in how long we have been at this! It's weird to think that I would have been having a baby in a couple of months if I hadn't miscarried. You're so right, nothing has worked out as I've planned it!
Unexplained secondary infertility...bleh. Gave it a few more tries and BFP on 3/31
#1 Beta @ 10DPO: 9 #2 Beta @ 14DPO: 194
My BFP Chart
It's okay to whine! I get it. Each cycle I pity myself for a minute with dh and move on. It is hard, but I just have so much hope and I know it will happen and not on my terms, apparently! lol
I know, my sister is about to pop and we had due dates one month exactly apart. All the excited plans we had made, we had dreamt our whole lives to be pregnant together and it finally happened. I thought for sure I would be pregnant by her shower in November, then at least by the time she gave birth. Time goes by and I'm still not pregnant. I have my moments of "I should be 34 weeks pregnant".
I'm not saying it is easy, I just do my damndest to find the bright side. Hugs!!!
