Need someone who understands

This is my first day here. I have been ttc for 2 yrs. I feel like nobody understands. Anyone else feel like it will never happen? How do I keep going when I am continually disappointed?

Stillhopeful - You have found a wonderful place to get advice or just have someone to vent to. The ladies here are great.

You are definitely not alone. While people in your "real" life may not be able to understand what you are going through, the ladies here know exactly what you are going through. I have been ttc for almost 3 years now (only 1 with medication), but it seems like in the past 3 years, all my friends have wound up pregnant, some with their second child. I always tell myself it is not fair, but I also have to tell myself that my time will come.

Please try your best to not be disappointed and remember that your time will come. Best of luck to you on your journey.

I try so hard to be happy for my friends. I am a teacher. The wife of the teacher across the hall is pregnant with twins. He is a close friend. Trying to be happy for him, and I am happy, but I get extremely sad for me. We have been through so much already. I know that God has a plan and that my turn will come, some how, but it is so hard to keep that in mind when u r filled with so much hurt and sadness.

Janelle,
to the forum. While those in our life try to understand, they just never seem to get it, and their words never seem to be the right one. This forum will give you great support, as well as, answers to questions. This is my first IVF cycle, and I have found so many answers to my questions. Good luck to you and know that here you are never alone.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I have some good days, but, honestly, I feel that this is ALL I think about. It's natural for you to feel the way you do. This is something that you want. I understand. I have a hard time hearing the announcements at work that someone else (not me) is pregnant. This is not the person I am, or think myself to be. I have never been an envious or jealous person before, and now I can't take it when someone announces it at work. I AM HAPPY FOR THEM, but I can't help but think how badly I want it to be me giving that news to my family.

Hang in there. Keep the faith and maintain high hopes.
