TTC after 35

I am trying to be strong!

There are three women sit in the cubicles right in front of my office.  And they are all pregnant.  And, there is one guy sit right in front of my office, his wife is pregnant.  I wish them well and happy for them.  But I am feeling a little sad, especially the due date of my lost baby will come up soon.  Maybe I just need to move out of my office and sit with them and rub their bellies everyday to get some luck.  :)

I am okay, just had a moment.

  • Oh I know that's so hard! The due date for my miscarried baby is tomorrow. It's all I can do to keep from crying right now.
  • So sorry it can be a b***h somedays, and seeing that everyday. Take the time when you need to, and figure out if they are drinking the water and join in :)

  • I hear you. All the girls on my team at work had boys in the last year or so. I'm the only one who hasn't had a baby yet. They all say "we know you're next" and I just have to laugh it off. If they only knew...I really really want to be next. Somedays it sucks. Chin up!

  • I feel your pain. A coworker/friend of mine is due to have her FIFTH child in January, she's 41 (I'm 40) and this is her third baby in three years. It hurts so bad that it's all so easy for her and here I sit with an ectopic loss 10 months ago and still TTC with no luck at all. I have a hard time being around her right now, luckily we work in different office sites so I don't have to see her on a daily basis.

    All ALers welcome!

  • Thank you for the support, vrey grateful to find this site and found you all.  Love and Hugs! 

  • I feel your pain. I posted about this exact same thing a couple of weeks ago, and since then, I have found out that another coworker of mine is expecting.  I feel like there's something in the water... Just not my water. It's tough, and as the ladies on this board said, it's okay to feel the way you feel. My "what would have been" due date is coming up as well (Oct. 30th) and yet another coworker of mine who had the same due date as mine delivered her twins earlier this week. It's all very bittersweet but we can't lose hope... I hope your wish comes true soon! :)
