Trying to Conceive Forum

Me and my best friend just both had a baby in 2012 and then both had a MMC last year. She, now 42, conceived again within a few months and this time it seems to be going great. Me, on the other hand, who's 10 years younger than her, is still trying and hoping and hurting. I am really happy for her, why the hell not? she wants a baby and she deserves a baby and this might be her last chance to have a baby. But am i jealous of her bump, her proud story of her shooting hormones has tranferred her into a different person? YES!!! Does it bother me sometimes she gets a little short and snaps? YES!!! but what i do except deal with it because i like her and i want her to be around in my life.

I am sitting here, waiting for AF to arrive today or tomorrow. I did not test this month but i can feel AF is on her way. I dont know what else to do. all the tests are clear. I use OPKs and temping. Clearly i am ovulating and clearly i have sex twice a day during my fertile window. What else should i do to get pregnant???

Hi Mavis!

I'm probably not going to be able to give any earth shattering advice on what else to do because it sounds like you're doing all the right things I just wanted to say I feel your pain! A friend of mine & I had babies within a few months of each other 3 years ago & I'm now TTC #2, have been for a few months & she's just found out she's pregnant - unplanned & she's not sure if she's even happy about it as they're having relationship issues & money is tight so it's so hard for me wanting it so badly & her having it but not really being happy about it! Of course you can be happy for your friend but being a teeny bit jealous or envious is totally understandable! I would be (am).

Hey, honey! Secondary infertility is common. It's not that big an issue. You should probably get your tests done. I can understand if it's just a ranting post. It's okay to do that, actually quite important to do so. Good luck to you on your journey. I hope it happens for you!
