Mini Vent

OK, so I have 2 best friends, and other than that I really don't have many good friends - not people that I go to when I need to talk or anything like that. Just those two girlies. Neither of them are married, in relationships, or even have relationships anywhere on their radars right now. One would love kids "some day" (we're all turning 30 this year) and the other has no desire for children ever.

My issue is trying to talk to them about TTC. I had a mc in May, and by no means am I as upset about it as I was. I don't even talk to them about it anymore. But, if I try to even mention TTC even briefly, or what I plan on doing (DH and I are not using any tracking right now other than calendar, plan on temping probably next month and moving on from there). If I even touch on this one of them gets really, I don't know, I guess agitated. It's so strange, and it just makes talking to her about it really hard. It's so hard to explain to someone who doesn't want kids how badly you want it, especially after a loss... And trust me when I say that this is NOT the only thing I talk to her about - she's had plenty for us to discuss lately (and I've had plenty of other things going on in life as well)...

The one that wants them "some day" is great to talk to, except that she is so rarely available, and lately since we've all been so busy when we get together it's all 3 of us.

I guess that's what forums like this are here for....

OK, vent over.

Re: Mini Vent

That stinks.

It's true that having this forum helps a lot. My friends mostly already have kids or are pregnant now but none of them had trouble and only 1 had a mc.

They don't understand and I guess they never will. I'm glad for that in some way bc I would hate for even 1 more woman to have to struggle with IF.
