I dont talk to a whole lot of people about what is going on with my TTC but I had really been talking a lot to a 19 year old that I work with. She had a son when she was 16 and is still with the father. About 2 months ago she left him for a few days and he begged her to come back. In the mean time I was taking clomid time after time with no results. Then out of the blue at work one day another co worker of ours blurted out "do you have something to tell us?" (to my friend) It all came out. She is pregnant. I faked a smile and left the room. I fought the tears so hard in the bathroom, I thought I was going to be sick. It crushed me. It felt like she did it on purpose like, I can get pregnant and you cant. The thing of it is, we had our periods at the same time and if I would have ended up pregnant we would have been due within days of eachother. She is a sweetheart really but it is so hard to see. I feel bad about thinking this way but I cant help it. Its not fair!

" Awww...the jealous feeling? It's like you feel ashamed for being jealous. These people that pop out kids have no idea the pain month after month we go through. And speaking for myself the complete guilt that I cant give my husband something that is supposed to be so natural. I have learned that with people who can have kids very easily there consideration level to us that can't is very limited. I'm sorry. It does make you bitter if you don't intend to feel that way. "

" I know exactly how you feel. Try not to feel bad though it's only natural to feel that way, what you are going through is so difficult and I think only people who have been through it can truly understand. Remember that we all understand, message me any time you want a chat. sending lots of baby dust and hugs your way. x "

" I feel the same way about a girl i see at the gym every day. We had our periods at the same time for months and I told her how much we want to start a family and how difficult its been. Well she got pregnant pretty quickly and then kept asking every few days are you pregnant are you pregnant and i was like NO why do you keep asking and she said because she was and is due on my birthday. I faked a smile and cried the whole car ride home. I totally feel your pain and am glad someone else understands how I feel : ) "
