Venting - could use words of understanding and encouragement

Been ttc for almost a year. I know it’s not as long as some but it’s definitely getting disheartening, especially since EVERYONE around me is getting pregnant.

First Facebook is lit up with pregnancies and babies. My husband suggests I get off Facebook for a bit so I don’t see the constant pregnancy posts. I take it easy on Facebook, so then I have to switch OBGYNs (the one who has been helping me with the infertility) because she had a baby (and never told me she was even pregnant so I didn’t know I’d have to switch).

Now most recently a close friend of my husband’s sent us a card from her 10 week old fetus, yesterday my mother-in-law is telling me all the things I’ll need/want to do since I’m eventually going to want kids (she doesn’t know we are ttc), and last night my brother-in-law and his wife told us they are having baby #2 over FaceTime. I tried to get away and take a break from it, but it’s not working.

I’m having a lot of trouble this morning because, without me even saying anything, husband says “don’t be sad about having a new niece or nephew” and when I said I’m happy for them it just wasn’t fair (both pregnancies happened on their first or second month even considering ttc) he says “don’t resent them”.

New OBGYN prescribed metformin 2 weeks ago and the plan is to start clomid next month if no luck with the metformin, so hopefully my time will come soon.

TTC is such a rough journey. I’ve found that yoga and meditation has helped me tremendously. I’ve finally gotten to a good place where I don’t completely lose it when I see yet another pregnancy announcement. It’s not like because they’re pregnant they are somehow taking away my ability to be pregnant. Our time will come! This is coming from someone who’s dealing with recurrent miscarriage, PCOS, adult onset stills disease.....if I can be positive and find the bright side I know you’ll get there too. Get to loving yourself! 💕
