I absolutely know how you feel! DH and I have been trying since December...I know it can take "healthy" couples a year to conceive, and it seems EVERYONE around me is getting pregnant-even people that weren't even trying! I wish I could tell you how to deal with it, but I'm still trying to get a handle on this myself! All anyone can tell me is "you just need to relax-it'll happen!" And I'm sure they're right...but hearing someone tell me to relax makes me stress out more! How can you stop "thinking" about it, if every day you're charting, and BBT, and OPKing? LOL..sorry to add to your venting. I'll keep fingers crossed for both of us and hopefully one day SOON we'll get a BFP!

yeah i ve felt the same for about an year .. All my friends were pregnant and some of them shared the  news just after 2 months of getting married. I could nt stop feeling jealous and worried ..though they were my very close friends ... finally i made it!!! am 4 weeks pregnant now!!! ... you know what?? Now I realised the advantage of getting pregnant later than evary one ... the immense love and care am getting from my friends and the list of do's and dont's .. eat n dont eat .. u know every day am really having fun !!! ... so dont feel that u r unlucky for not getting pregnant along with ur friends or relatives ... U r going to be that spl some one ... one day!! GL

It seems to happen once u start TTC. We started TTC July 2010. I had an ectopic last April. Me and a ex friend (bcshe did drugs and smoked weed her whole preg) was due the same time. I had another mc that aug (natural.) It seemed like during that time all my friends were having babies or getting preg. It was so hard for me and sometimes still is.

Both my SIL are preg also!!!  One just had a baby the other is due in May.  Seeing pictures of the baby is so hard, and every time I see the other one I feel so jealous!!!  We all need to get our BFP!!!

Hey mama,

Having undergone infertility TWICE, I know this feeling like nothing else :/.  Its awful, especially when you are spending thousands of dollars getting pregnant....while your friends are getting rpegnant by accident :(.  Makes you feel kind of "broken". 
Hang in there: ).  You are early in the game :)

I think it is one of those things where you may not have noticed everyone pregnant around you before you really wanted to be pregnant. I think the same thing.  It is so hard to deal with especially if they are close friends or family member.  The worst is when you shared that you were trying and now each time you see someone they say any luck.  It is the last thing you want to hear.  My dear grandma keeps saying are you still trying.  First I don't care to discuss trying with her because it is strange and second it just brings up the pain each time.  I love her dearly but almost wish she would just stop asking. I think for me it helps to know that God will bless us with a child when it is time. Knowing that sometimes just because I think it is time does not mean it is.
