pregnancy jealousy while ttc
at the early stages of ttc and unsuccessful months and months, i used to take other people getting pregnant pretty hard and honestly i never handled it well at all, and trust me as someone who’s been ttc for 3 years its hard to watch family members get pregnant multiple times in those 3 years when i can’t even get pregnant once, however, i started going to therapy recently because of how bad infertility is taking over my life, and what my therapist told me has helped me tremendously and it may help someone else out there, i remember seeing a pregnancy announcement and the sick thought in my head is wow they know im struggling and they’d seriously post this and the comments congratulating them made me even more upset(which is crazy i know) its like my brain would try to convince me everyone getting pregnant was out to get me and was hurting me on purpose, and my therapist helped me realize that was another thing that infertility was taking from me, the ability to be happy for my family and friends. there’s a lot of things you cannot control with infertility, but one thing you can control is your reaction and your take on things, so try not to let infertility take another thing from you. it will never be easy but it’s always worth a shot. Love to all going through this journey i know it’s hard ❤️
