I feel like a bad sister (pg mentioned)
I'm having a hard time feeling excited about my sisters pregnancy. she is pregnant with her third child and my husband and I started TTC when she only had one!
she knows about our TTC issues and actually didn't even tell me she was pregnant until she found out we had decided to move forward with IVF. So she is aware and thinks most of the time before she updates me on all her pregnancy stuff. But lately thats all she's talking about and she's calling me to tell me about her ultrasounds and when she finds out the babys sex.
I'm truly very happy for her but am having a hard time listening to all these details. IVF was supposed to be it for us, I was supposed to be pregnant too. I hate life some days. its just not fair.
this morning I had to end our phone chat because I couldn't deal.
vent over.
Re: I feel like a bad sister (pg mentioned)
I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this with your sister.
I know I haven't been struggling for as long as you or others. But what I find helps is to tell myself that other people's fertility has nothing to do with mine or DH's, and how they choose to have their family does not affect my family. Sometimes I feel like I'm chanting this over and over again, but it helps bring me back down to earth a bit.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermMy nephew is now one and on an almost daily basis she's posting on FB about how she's ready for another and is researching ways to get pregnant with twins. It's painful. I don't have any advice for you because rather than confront my sister about being insensitive, I choose to be a coward and just hide her on FB.
I hope you can find a way to resolve your situation with your sister.
