friends (7) and family members (3) who are now pregnant. Seriously, can the torture please stop!

So today one of my friend's emailed me to tell me she was pregnant with #3 (we were pregnant together with #1 -her little girl and me with Mason).. then tonight on my way home from work another friend called to tell me they were pregnant after trying since August. Then, my nephew who is 20 just texted my DH to tell him that he was going to be a daddy.. his 18 year old girlfriend is accidentally pregnant. Mind you, my nephew's older sister (my niece) told us at Christmas that she and her hubby were having a baby, accidentally as well. I love them both dearly.. as well as all my friends, but wow.. in 9 weeks that is 8 people I know who have become pregnant since I miscarried.

I have been doing so well lately, but everytime I hear about someone else I know getting pregnant, it really knocks the wind out of my sail. I think it's hard b/c these are all people I see often and I will be reminded of it every time I see them or talk to them.

Does anyone ever feel like everyone else in the world has what you want??

Thanks for letting me vent.. I feel better now.

WHAT IS IT- DO I HAVE A SIGN ON MY BACK THAT SAYS, "TELL ME YOU'RE PREGNANT?"
A co-worker that we sometimes socialize with he and his wife outside of work just came up to me in the breakroom out of the blue (I haven't talked to him since the Christmas party) and said he wife was pregnant... Dang, can this stop please!!!!


***updated again TODAY (FRIDAY)***
Just so you know-- I have some fertile friends! My old college roommate emailed me today to tell me she is 10 weeks pregnant.

I hope some of that fertility rubs off on me!


**UPDATED AGAIN TODAY (MONDAY)***
Apparently if you want to get pregnant, you should move to central Oklahoma. Received an email from an old co-worker who is 13 weeks pregnant. It is definitely in the water here but I wish it would stop at my house!

Ok, Amber, lets go different direction! Where are you in your cycle? Is it time to BD? 2WW?

I am at CD21 right now and honestly don't know if I've ovulated or not. I haven't had any major EWCM this month. I was determined not to take any OPKs this month b/c DH was out of town during the time I should have been fertile, and I just didn't want to know if I was missing the opportunity. I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate before AF came, so now I am worried my body is still asleep and doesn't know it needs to ovulate again.


I know you all can relate. It's just insane the number of people I know who are pregnant!
I"m not mad, or even as upset this time, I just find it comical almost. It's like God is trying to teach me a lesson in patience or something.

WOW! Maybe you should go rub all these girls bellies. That'll be some huge loads of baby dust for you to collect! HUGS

Holy cow! 11 people? That's insane, I'm sorry honey. I live in a place where there are a lot of young married couples having babies, so I'm surrounded by pregnant women all the time. But after my loss it wasn't really the pregnant women who triggered it, it was all the brand new babies.

Here's some for you. I agree with Danica, maybe a few belly rubs could give you some luck!

I know what you mean about not knowing if you ovulated. I had one day of ewcm, and what looked like a positive opk, but my ovulation pains were later than the signs. Are you going to try to conceive next month? What is your plan?

We are TTC.. in fact, we haven't prevented at all since my doctor didn't tell us to.

Amber, I think it will happen for you again. And soon. I guess I am surprised that it hasn't already. I think when I finally decided that I wanted to have a baby (and it wasn't happening) that everywhere I turned there was a pregnant person. I swear it was sickening. I kept thinking to myself, "why not me, why can't I have a baby". My emotions were all over the place. And when I stopped thinking about it every second, thats when it happened. I truely believe that we are going to have our babies. I refuse to believe otherwise!
