Hard to not compare
A few of my friends and I started trying to conceive around the same time. As I’m in my 30s I have friends who have already got kids and didn’t struggle with getting pregnant, I have others that aren’t ready for kids, and some that don’t have partners yet so still dating. All of us at different times and places in their lives.
However I feel like right now I’m detached from all my friends. I have been trying to conceive for over a year now, ive had one pregnancy in that time which was just over 11 weeks when I miscarried and after a break I am now ready to try again. The problem I have is that of the few friends I had that started ttc at the same time are all pregnant or have already had their babies in the time I’ve been trying. I am really struggling to not compare myself or feel like a failure. Obviously I am happy for them but makes me feel very alone. Anyone feeling the same or have any tips to stay positive? I’m not an emotional person but I hate the patience required ttc and its driving me nuts not having anyone in the same situation.
