      I don’t think you are alone at all when feeling this. Maybe have some time to yourself, mute the chat and do something you enjoy like going out, maybe a hobby, read a book etc.

      This is very normal, fertility is cruel and does not discriminate. You could be the kindest most caring person in the world who would give a child all the love in the world but fertility doesn’t work like that. I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve felt depressed when somebody else gets what we so desperately want.

      Totally normal, I have been battling infertility for nearly 9 years now and had few shares of feeling really down on pregnancy announcements. I just had miscarriage following my first round of IVF and few of my friends had unexpected pregnancy announcements. I don’t think you are selfish or should feel guilty about your own feelings. Xxx

      This is completely normal. Never forget that you’re not alone in this x

      Absolutely – my best friend is pregnant currently and I’m finding it really hard. Such a bittersweet feeling being so upset and wishing that was you but being happy for them too xx

      100% normal. I once read a statement which said ‘It’s not that I’m not happy for them, I’m just feeling really sad for myself.’ This encapsulates exactly how I feel every time I hear a pregnancy announcement x

      I got really upset today when another family member announced they are having a baby in our family group chat, I feel so selfish ! I am soo happy for them but I could not hide my disappointment. I did not show it to them, but in private. Is this normal?
