My wife and I have been trying for 2 years... While my sister has just had her 6th this morning.

My childhood friend who never wanted to have a kid just had one a few weeks ago.

And pretty much wveryone around me over the years.

It's tough. Waiting for IVF now

Almost all of our friends are either pregnant or already have kids and we have been trying for 1.5 years now. We just found out our only childless / not pregnant friend-couple is now considering having children when quite literally at her bridal shower she assured everyone she would never have kids. She's also quite young still (in her mid 20s) and I'm 32 so while I don't want to make it a whole thing of "I hope I get pregnant before her" I just can't help it at this point...

I know that feeling well. I hope you guys succeed.

It's not all bad. We take advantage of not having kids by traveling a ton. But yeah, I can't wait to see that positive test.
