Well I sow on Facebook a month ago a friend of ours was going to start trying for a new baby! I was happy for her and her hubby and her 1 year old daughter! Well she posted today she is pregnant! Wtf? I wish it was that easy for us all! I started to flip the fuck out on her but I kept my cool and didn't respond to the post at all! Ggggrrrrr I want her ovaries and all!

I feel your pain! Been ttc for 7 yrs now. I am in the middle of my first IVF cycle. My fried found it important enough to call me last week and tell me how excited she was that her her husband said they could start trying for ANOTHER baby!! Pissed me off... why whould she tell me that when she knows what I am going through?? And my 21 year old sister is "accidently" pregnant again with her 2nd baby!! It's so not fair for woman like us:(

I had ANOTHER friend announce her second pregnancy today as well...so hard to be happy and jealous all at the same time. I must be getting stronger or a harder heart. :-/ I used to cry every time I found out as soon as I was alone but not any more. I was in a sorority so it feels like someone is announcing a pregnancy every other day!

I hear you. I started trying to get pregnant two years ago and two of my friends were trying at the same time. Well both of them were pregnant after the first month, then me I'm still not pregnant. It's so not fair!!

We all go through this. I like to think instead of being jealous of them, I am just sad for myself. We had friends get pregnant their first month trying (not fair) and announced their pregnancy right around the time of our third failed IUI after close to 2 years of trying. It was like a punch in the gut! I stay off of FB as much as I can, but have recently connected with some awesome DS sisters on there so it makes me happy to go on and see what is going on in their lives. Sounds bad, but I have actually blocked some friends on FB so I do not have to see thier pics/kids/complaining about pregnancies etc.

Good call LMWT. I was not really mad at the other people for their happiness but I tended to be angry at objects. While we were trying I got mad at the balloons and storks on peoples lawns. I actually wanted to drive by and just snip the string on one of the balloons I drove by several times daily...stupid balloon (still mad at it, just bopping in the air like that). It is only natural to feel anger when going through this, give yourself a break you are only human. Remember to self preserve by not exposing yourself to things (and people) that upset you and remember to try to be happy for those who can do something we have not been able to accomplish. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy. Also remember that you have a right to your feelings and at the moment one fo them is anger.
