First time dealing with friends announcement

We’ve been TTC since July of last year with no luck, until I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in early Dec. This felt like a victory after trying for 5 months without luck and finally having a possible answer.

After starting levothyroxine and getting the go ahead from my doctor mid-Jan after some updated bloodwork, we started trying again. With the timing of the results, we missed our window in January and started again in Feb.

Was hoping my TSH now being under control, we’d get lucky right away but unfortunately I got my period yesterday.

That timing made it especially difficult to revive my friends pregnancy news yesterday. They weren’t trying but it was their plan to start preparing to.

I am happy for them but it’s my first time having to face this kind of news and I am so bummed.

I guess I came here to ask for any advice on how to handle this emotionally (I only expressed genuine happiness for them) and I guess if anyone has faced the same Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diagnosis and went on to have a successful pregnancy. Should I erase those earlier months of trying and start counting from once I got my TSH under control to feel better about timing?

I have a wonderful husband who keeps telling me when it’s our time, it will happen and he’s not losing any hope. I believe that too but I feel broken and sad that it’s been an uphill climb.
