I am happy for her but this has broke me today I'm at work and had to go have a cry in the toilets, I shouldnt have asked while Im at work. Happy for her but feel shit for me I dont want to feel like this.

Really sorry you’re having to deal with this just at the moment. Not sure there’s anything I can say but just wanted you to know someone was listening & thinking of you x

Bless you. I found out my sister was pregnant after one of my miscarriages. Although you are happy for them, you are desperately sad for yourself and your baby in heaven. Thinking of you. Remember, you never forget, but things do get easier. Give yourself time. Xxxx

That’s exactly it, I’m at feeling sorry for myself and my partner that he might never have kids with me.

Don’t be harsh on yourself, no judgement here.

It’s so hard isn’t it? In the same week I found out I’d miscarried, I overheard a girl at work announce her pregnancy, exactly the same date along as I was. I don’t know her, but I’ve had to watch this beautiful young girl blossom with a pregnancy bump and a seemingly perfect pregnancy.

I keep telling myself that those not so kind feelings don’t make me a bad person and I’d never wish heartbreak on anyone.

I’m sure you’re the same, it’s just very hard, stay strong xx

It is hard it’s usually when I’m alone overthinking things I get upset.

You will in your own time, when I just found out my 2nd ivf has failed my brother and his mrs has a baby I couldn’t even bring myself to meet him at the time I was sobbing my heart out xxx

Aww I bet that was hard for you.

I’ll be fine it’s just raw right now but I have to say my 1st mc I cried for 6 months especially when af arrived. I feel abit different this time I think I was better prepared emotionally after the initial shock. I hope my partner is ok he does bottle up his emotions and then gets really down, I don’t think he knows how to deal with me when I’m randomly weeping either seem to go hide. Bless him.

I know exactly how you feel. A week ago, my sister told me she is pregnant. She came off the pill a month ago. I have been ttc for 2-2/12 years and just started my first round of ivf.

I felt complete mix emotions. First thing I did when I got off FaceTime to her (she lives about 7 hrs away from me) was break down and cry. I am finally just starting to get excited about it. Now I’ve officially started my ivf treatment I’m focusing on that and just praying it works and I will be months behind her 🤞

It is extremely difficult and I see her this weekend for the first time since I found out so not sure how I will feel actually seeing her.

How long have you been ttc for? Xx
