I am married for 12yrs, childless, struggled a lot with doctors, medicine, even some cyst operations. No result, my friends hv their kids of 12-13 yrs, I congratulate them, but still there is a pain/ a tinge. Time just seems to b slipping out of my hands. Frustration & helplessness. I m hoping nw that I m so low, there will b an upward movement.....

I am sorry to those feeling down...I hope you did something today that made you smile.

Can't get pregnant, can't get a new job, can't seem to do anything right now...

I'm single, so couldn't find a husband, ttc and failing, and need a new job as well and not getting one. . . some days getting out of bed is a decision, and not an easy one.

Some days are better than others while going through this, hang on and wait for the better day, sending you a virtual hug.

I hear you OP. I could have posted this 1 year ago. Had just suffered a m/c after a long time trying and EVERYONE was pregnant. FF a year, and I'm expecting. Not meaning to be another one of those "everyone" around you that is pregnant, but just to say that you are not alone, that I feel your pain, and that there can be hope. Try to let go of the jealousy (it is hard, but I found it an exhausting and counterproductive emotion). Lots of good thoughts going your way.

I understand OP. I've not dealt with infertility (knock on wood) but my son is now a toddler and I feel like everyone I hear about is pregnant with a second. I'm jealous, feel left behind, etc. I know it's not the same as dealing with infertility but you aren't a bad person and you aren't alone!

I ran into someone I have known for a long time. This couple is not very close but we have kept in touch all along. Now the wife is pregnant with second baby. We have been trying for our second for the longest time and are in the 'unexplained' territory and have a failed iui so far. We are in late thirtes so that worries me a lot.
As happy as I am for this couple, the truth is I am jealous. I know that is not a good feeling but I am jealous. Not much I can do except keep trying. I just wanted to say this to someone. So I am here.

Thanks for reading.
