It's worse when your ownmother starts to get excited about it....then when you tell her AF arrived "ohhh...I was looking forward to you being pregnant!"

I was a bit...irritated by that :p
I am sorta in the same boat, except that mine doesn't know that we are TTC(I just couldn't put up with the continual questions that would arise, it is just too close to my heart right now KWIM?)Last night at work we had the most beautiful baby come in and my mom had it getting ready to be put in the pediatric floor for monitoring and she walked over to me and said, "OOO don't you want another one of these, just think about it, isn't he just so cute." It was all I could do not to start crying. I wanted to yell, "if you only knew what I had been going through for the last few months." But she is just not one of the kind of people you tell that to. She would worry the stew out of me day and night about it and tell everyone that I was having all sorts of problems! Sigh! And on top of that AF arrived last night! I am in such a funk!
I am so sorry for the rant!!!

thanks maharg!

My mum knows we're ttc but thankfully she's good at not asking questions. She's a nurse and helps a lot of people when they're ttc so she understands the frustrations.

Everyone else however - just plain annoying. My FIL was saying "of course you wont be trying for a baby for another decade eh!!" i mean he was kiddin but it still bothered me because i'm sitting there going if only you knew we're ttc right now you'd watch what you're saying.

Anytime having babies is mentioned I feel i get my back up, and i wish it wasn't like that. I just feel tense when it gets mentioned in convo.

hopw you all have a good sunday!

Hi everyone!

Well they announced two pregnancies in church today, and I found it hard not to get jealous. One of them is my friend's daughter who has only been married for a few months and is 19 years old. The other lady already has two sons. I am really pleased for them.

I'd love for it to happen for us this month. My hubby is still a little unconfident about it all, but we are now officially ttc this month, so we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, have a great day everyone,

maharg

I just got back from church. We watched Facing the Giants, and if you haven't seen it I would recommend it. While it is mainly based about a football team. The coach and his wife are also struggling with TTC and infertility and it really has a wonderful message in it. I wish I could go further but it would be spoiling it for those that haven't seen it. But anyway, it reminded me that God has put the desire to have another child in my heart, and He did it for a reason. He is not going to leave me or forsake me. He always keeps His promises. I really needed that movie, with all the discouragement that I had been feeling.

Hi everyone.

That films sounds good - I don't think it's out on DVD in the UK yet by it's available to pre-order on amazon. What a cool church you must have to watch a film there!

I'm feeling sad today because I had some spotting. :( I'm on CD 20, 7 or 8 dpo. It might not be a bad sign as I didn't have cramping, but last month I had spotting from CD 21 and then af arrived 6 days later .

It's so hard to not get my hopes up and become obsessed with my body now ... I need to just accept whatever happens. I am a bit fed up with these shortish cycles though - it'd be ok if I didn't get a week of spotting at the end.

God Bless and Hugs x

I know, I find it hard too - a younger couple than us annouced their pregnancy recently. It's such a bitter sweet thing, being happy for them but feeling a tiny bit 'sad/jealous/I don't know what' when they say "Yeah, we only had one night when we weren't careful and it just happended!" Ahhh, I felt like screaming just a tiny bit - at least they were spared the heartache of lengthy ttc.
