[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I don't have any friends going through this so no one to talk to about it.  I have no interest in talking about it to friends who have 2-3 kids.  And my friends who are OAD for reasons other than infertility or by choice can't really relate either.  I tried a therapist but it was not helpful at all.  I also tried to find support groups but was not able to find any who would accept me (the primary infertility groups would not accept me).

I've had several good friends have their second or third kids this past year and that was really hard.  I went to all their baby showers (even hosted one myself for a friend) but felt really sad at the same time.  Now I find I avoid being around these friends with newborns/babies because it's just too emotionally challenging for me.  My husband feels the same way--he avoids these friends too.  All they talk about is their newborns and feeding, sleeping issues, etc. and I just cannot relate at all.

My child is in preschool and every time I go to drop off and pick up I see pregnant moms or moms with babies everywhere.  I would like to make new friends who only have one child or who don't have kids at all, but not sure how to do that.  I'm in a book club and an exercise group but no luck making friends there yet.[/quote]
