When the hubs and I started trying to get pregnant none of our close friends or family were currently knocked up. Shortly after we threw away the birth control one of my good friends from high school got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby 9 months later... she is due with her second any day now. Lapped. About 5 months after we started trying my brother and sister-in-law announced their pregnancy and later had my first nephew... my brother called tonight and told me they are pregnant with their second. Lapped again.
Although I absolutely know that none of this has any impact on my own conception, it is in these moments that I feel like we've been at this FOREVER. Well, that AND the fact that I am going to hear about nothing more than this new baby from my mother for the next nine months....
On a positive note, my beta is in 5 days!

It is so hard when friends/family announce their first pregnancy - nevermind their second while you are still trying.
Fingers crossed for your beta!
We started trying later than all of our friends. So their first pregnancy announcements were joyful for us, back when we thought getting pregnant would be a cinch. Now that friends are starting to announce their second pregnancies (and some still their first), it's become a bitter pill to swallow.
Hang in there. I'm praying that our days will come soon too!
I know the feeling all too well. My old roommate got pregnant by an oops and now proceeds to send me pics of her son. While I do appreciate it and am happy for her, it stings a little. Then we have the SIL who had her 3rd during our 'trying time' and another SIL & BIL who were trying for their 2nd for over a year, yeah are now pregnant and due in May. Definitely praying you get good results this round and hopefully we will have good news to share soon as well!
I know the feeling all to well. Since me and my DH have been TTC- my 2 SIL's have popped out 8 kids between the 2 of them. And I love them all; I just desperately want one of my own. It is really hard to see others get so easily what we want so desperately and work so hard to get. It's not fair! And makes the sting of infertility sting more. Hoping for good news on your beta results.
