I'm so tired of trying & getting my hopes up. I jsut wanna be a mommy so bad & it seems like the time will never come for us. /:
one of my really close friends had a baby a few hours ago, and pregnant friends are popping up everywhere. I just can't help not feeling really jealous and emotional when I see all ym friends with their baby bumps and babies...
I don't have any good advice for you bc I myself and kinda depressed about it. If you come up with a good way of managing, please share :)
I feel you girl. I've wanted babies for a long time. So, I have several friends who have accidentally gotten pregnant and I can't help but be jealous. So, you're not alone! Try and keep the faith. So far in my life, everything good has come to me when I let faith take over and stopped trying to insert my will on it. But...thats usually easier said than done. Good luck to you!!!

They way I kinda deal with its knowing that when I do have a baby that all this time I have waited is so that the time of being a mommy is more specail .It works at times but other times it dose not so I hope it helps you a little . IM in the same boat as you but its my younger SIL hows having a baby and all her friends
and hope you get your bfp in the next couple of months

My husband did the most amazing thing for me when my "baby depression" got really horrible several years ago. I mean to the point where I was rationalizing with the women who take babies! But, I was only going to take one from someone who already had several! lol **I would NEVER take a baby** I was just starting to understand why they would get so desperate! Anyway, onto the point...
My husband walked int he house with a gender-neutral baby gift bag. I got so upset with him for bringing in anything baby related because he knew how bad I was feeling. He told me "I know we don't have a baby here right now, but this is for when the baby does get here." It was so sweet! So, over the next 4 years he kept bringing home all of these outfits, diapers, baby gear big and small, baby necessities like powder, shampoo, etc. and so much more!
When I had my really bad days, it was such a blessing to go in there, hold onto some clothes or a stuffed animal and just cry!! Then I was able to remind myself, it will happen when it is time to happen! By the time "it" happened, we had so much extra stuff that we were able to donate a whole bunch of stuff to moms in need and be a blessing to them! Instead of having 9 months to get ready for baby to be here, we had 4 years!!
When that wonderful little girl came along and was 8 months old, we got pregnant with our son!!
It will happen in His timing. It sucks to wait, but do something fun in the meantime! Go shopping once a week and bring something home for the baby-to-be!!

But I do feel ur pain about other women accidentally getting pregnant around you...I have 3 of my friends who did. I actually posted on Sunday morning about it and earlier another day with "everyone gets preg but me"
Hang in there! You'll get ur bfp soon!!
