So i am active duty military. DH and I have been trying for the last 3 years to conceive with no luck. We have been doing chlomid since Jan. His sister is preggo and i have like huge jealousy issues because its what i want so bad. Next month is her babyshower. I initially said i couldnt get off work and just my hubby was going but now im feeling guilty since its hubbys bday party and we see his family maybe 1 every two years. I really dont want to go to the babyshower and scared i might turn into an emotional wreck but i feel like a jerk for not going. What would you do?

    I know how you feel. My cousin is now pregnant with her second and I am just now starting fertility treatment. My mom's side of the family often has family parties and on Easter when my cousin got to my aunt's house I burst into tears. In addition to that the next family party is on my birthday (I already told my family that if I am not pregnant by then I'm not going to spend my birthday around someone who is). If you don't feel like going, send your regards and a gift and call it that. Your sanity is more important than a baby shower (even if it is your sister-in-law.

    I know how you feel as well, I have trouble being around my family and friends even co workers who are pregnant I try to avoid them at any cost. Some days it just hurts to bad and gets you down even more. If you don't think you can handle it. I wouldn't go your family should understand how hard it is for you. Best of wishes

    I wish you the best with what you decide to do. But just be good to yourself and do what makes you feel good. I have many people around me that are pregnant and I've been ttc for about 2 years. I honestly avoid the once that "accidentally" got pregnant. But some of the women I know were ttc too so it's easier for me to be around them...I guess it gives me hope. Trust me seeing the belly and baby clothes still jerks at my heart strings. Good luck to us all

    I feel your pain, I feel like everyone around me is pregnant. I have no wise words of wisdom - I tend to leave the room when the subject comes up (which is awkward at school...)
    Just rember, you're not alone
