My Friend is TTC...

...and it's kind of hard for me to hear about it.  They've been "actively trying" for 3-4 months.  She's late now and took a test and thinks she might have seen a faint line.  She knows about DH and my IF, so she's pretty sensitive to me.  It's just hard to hear her talk about TTC for some reason.  I act excited for her and everything, but it just makes me feel bad that the innocence of TTC was taken away from DH and I. 

I am extremely grateful for our babies, so I don't want anyone to get the impression that I'm ungrateful for what I have.  I know that so many still continue to struggle with IF and I am so very blessed.  It's just hitting me kind of funny today.  Maybe it's those weaning hormones.

Thanks for reading.

    Urgh I hear you!  My sil is ttc right now and I actually cringe when they call because I think it is going to be 'the call'.  I feel terrible, but I still feel that way...

    I get that and can feel the same way from time to time. It is really hard to hear people say they get pg eaisly for me, or that they can have natural vaginal births.

    I completely understand what you are saying. My SIL and a very good friend of mine just started ttc this month. I am having a hard time with it. They both got pregnant easily the first time around and their children are younger than my DD. We have been ttc #2 for a year now and after 3 failed IVF cycles I can't help but feel defeated and think that it should be our turn. Then I feel guilty for feeling this way because I know so many women are struggling to have just one child. I love my DD so much, she is truly a blessing and I thank god for her everyday but I still struggle with all these crazy emotions. IF s*cks on so many levels. I wish none of us had to deal with it.

    Yep, I have the same feelings too. 

    I have a friend who had an oops baby a year after Conor.  Then they started trying for #2 around her LO's 1st birthday.  It wasn't working so she emailed me 6mo into TTC all defeated and talking about going to an RE.  She knows about our history.  Sure as sh*t she's pregnant the next month.  I congratulated her and her response back to me was, "it's your turn now!"  Thanks, because it's THAT easy.
