Dealing with the emotions of infertility

As I read many of your experiences, I have realized that my struggle has only started. However, I feel that you will understand me more than all the people in my life. For one, today my best friend had a beautiful baby boy and although I am not jealous or mad, I feel upset. Not at her but at myself. To top things off, my husband (not that he isn't sensitive) just told me that seeing our closest friends have a baby makes him want one more. Add the pressure!!! I just feel so stupid and so lonely. I am mad, sad, annoyed and confused. I guess I just do not get it. Is there anything that I could do to make myself feel better?

" I wish there was some 'magic' pill that we could take to make this hurt & disappointment better. My best friend had a baby on Monday and now a friend that also works for me, just informed me that she is 3 months pregnant. I am absolutely thrilled for them both, but I am so hurt & upset that, once again, it's not me. I literally had to leave work early yesterday, I was just so down. "

" I started therapy with a great counselor that has dealt with infertility patients. It is great to go there once a week and talk to someone, vent, cry, whatever...it really helps "
