After going through 6 years years of TTC on/off and multiple rounds of fertility treatments, I am pregnant! It’s always taken me at least 2-3 years to get pregnant. This is our long awaited last baby.

Anyway, I told a friend today because she knew of my struggles and asked how my appointment was. She knew I was seeing my fertility doctor today. So I told her the news. I actually had my first ultrasound.

She’s also mentioned wanting a baby (her and her husband don’t have any yet, but are coming out of their early marriage/newlyweds stage). She’s told me recently that they are just now starting to “not try, not prevent”, but they are enjoying their alone time still.

I’ve told her if she ever needs support, tips, anything, I’m always here. I’ve been through it all ☺️ She said she’s not ready to try anything drastic.

So when I told her today, I wasn’t expecting her reaction. I know it’s hard when others are pregnant when you want to be, I 💯 get that. But instead of just saying congrats and being done with it, she went off....

She would ask me how I told my husband....

Then she’d not reply for 20 minutes. I messaged her back at one point and told her that I have a few boxes of ovulation tests, pregnancy tests, if she’d like them. My other pregnant friend had donated some to me, and I thought that was super nice. She replied back saying she didn’t want them and she’s now done trying, she’s taking a break.

She told me she was sobbing, and so sad, but she’s so happy for me. Then she told me she was baking bread.....I told her it sounded great and to have a good night, she responded with “HA!”

She finally said goodnight and I told her goodnight.

Then she messaged again three times in a row telling me even though she is happy for me, she needs to be selfish tonight.

After that I couldn’t respond anymore. I completely understand feeling upset, but the reaction was still odd to me. I’ve only known this woman a little over a year....we aren’t childhood best friends, we aren’t sisters..I would never say those things to someone even if I were feeling sad.

I don’t know—-I feel horrible. Not sure what to do or if there is anything I can do, but thanks for reading if yougot this far.
