Hi,

It’s quite normal to be emotional around pregnant women especially when it’s something you desperately want. Give yourself a break and don’t hate yourself for it.

Good luck on your journey.

Hey don't feel bad st all for the way you feel . After our miscarriage last year I hated being around pregnant woman but I picked myself up and started treatment again . One year late my beautiful baby had just arrived and she was so worth all the pain and heart ache before hand . We had icsi too and at the moment slot of my friends are going through the same treatment now . Don't ever feel bad and please think positive about starting this amazing journey . Good luck 😉

Oh, hun, do not be this tough to yourself. This is not your fault. And believe me feeling jealous is quite a natural thing in your position as well as in any other one facing fertility troubles. When I was at the begining of the road all my local friends were having babies in quick succession. All those babyshowers just made me mentally sick. I was happy for them but every announcement caused so much pain too!! Later I began to look for excuses for not taking part in such a kid/new mom centered gatherings. I cannot say I was doing right. But I felt it was right for me at that very moment. I know your case differs as the heavily prego lady is your sister, one of the closest ones. And probably they will definitely want you to join them when date comes. Try to imagine yourself being in the same boat with your sister. Do think positively about your coming icsi cycle and that you might soon be welcoming your guests to your babyshower. I'm sure you're a strong brave lady going to her aim. Be kind to yourself, hun!
