Conflicted.

Morgan

So let me start this by saying I love my step sister to death, and it’s not just about her but everything is kind of peaking my depression. Last week my step sister, who for as long as I’ve known her has believed she couldn’t have kids and so her and her husband were content not to try and she is on BC, found out she is three months pregnant (major yay!) but on top of that at least thirty of my friends/acquaintances have announced pregnancies or given birth. It hurts me and every time I see belly pictures or hear about appointment or how the baby is I get very upset, and usually end up crying for a few hours once I’m home or alone. My fiancé and I have been trying for 8 months, and after one miscarriage, when I was 11 weeks along, I feel defeated. I’m scheduling an appointment to get a consultation from a fertility specialist, but being new to the area I need a new PCP first. My fiancé is great about consoling me and promising me it will happen, but it’s hard after having lost a baby. Any thoughts or ideas on how to combat this? My fiancé and I do go to counseling for me to talk about it, but it’s not enough.
