Hi! I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks in September. My husband and I have been TTC for 6 months now, my cycles are getting longer and longer, and I'm just getting frustrated! We got pregnant the first time on the first month. Seems like all my friends have babies or are pregnant. Just got an email from a friend today saying how much she hates being pregnant, wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy. I, on the other hand, find it hard to stop thinking about getting pregnant. With my cycles getting longer, am worrying it will never happen again.

O honey you're not alone! This is our 6th month as well and it does get tough. It does seem like when you're TTC everyone around you is getting pregnant. In fact the worst thing for me was when I found out this month that my cousin was pregnant, she is 25, unmarried, and shacking up with her bf who she hasn't known more than 6 months. The worst part is her pregnancy was partially because of the fact that she's always been jealous of me and hated me. She wanted to be the first grandchild to get married and have babies and so when she found out I was getting married first she freaked out and cried because and I quote "I was supposed to be first!". So she found out hubby and I were TTC and having trouble so she decided to beat me to the punch, lovely isn't it?

So needless to say I do understand. If you need support I'm here for ya! There is hope after a miscarriage and there is a young women on this board who is a prime example of that!

It took us 11 months of TTC to get pregnant, I understand the pain of it. In month 8, I literally broke down when I got my period I was so upset.

We didn't tell anyone except those I told online that we we're TTC because I knew if I did one of our immature relatives would come out of the wood work.

I'll pray for both of you.

:( Sorry about your pain. People are so insensitive complaining about pregnancy, they don't even realize what a gift they have.

I can't ever say that I know exactly how you feel but I definately feel for you. My husband and I have been ttc since April of last year without any luck so far. It seems in the meantime SO MANY people that I know are getting pregnant - and a large percentage of them have been oops babies. I have a few friends that genuinely have wanted to get pregnant and I am so happy for them. But then the others that all they do is complain and gripe about it just strike me to the bone. The one girl that I know has two young children and just found out she was pregnant with a third and all she says over and over is that it had better be a girl. The only thing I can think is that I hope that soon I am able to have such a blessing in my life - I don't care what the gender is. I just want a child. It does hurt sometimes. But I just try to remember that it is in God's hands and that he ultimately holds this in his hands.
