Jealous... but happy... but sad...
In college, I had a group of 7 friends. The 8 of us lived together, vacationed together, did everything together. 5 of them have children now. I found out today that my good friend, the only other one who wanted kids, is pregnant. I'm so happy for her, really I am, but it was hard to hear the news. It's like, everyone I grew up with is out there with beautiful healthy children, and I can't even ovulate. At our "family reunion" next summer, I will be the only one there without a child. 
Sorry, I think the Provera I'm on is making me emotional. I feel like an awful cow about this and can't tell anyone IRL so here I am.

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
But, how do you know you will be there without kids next summer?  It's way too soon in the game to have that type of attitude!!

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
I know exactly how you feel . I know it's become "cliche" to say but all we can do is have faith that our time will come. (I'm actually rolling my eyes at myself here  )

Thank you girls. I'm kind of sorry I wrote that during a late-night pity party with myself. I know that I'm doing all I can - going to a RE, changing my diet, taking whatever meds she prescribes - but it just feels like it's not enough. Although, DH pointed out last night that I have no idea what any of my friends went through to get pg. I'm not telling them about my trips to the RE, so I have no idea how long some of their roads were. No one talks about that; they only start telling you when they have happy results. So it would seem like everyone I know only has happy results. I don't know what went on "behind the scenes."

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
Aww I throw myself the same pity party at least once a day in my head, and feel guilty immediately afterwards.
Its part of the hormones and the intense feelings of wanting to have a LO.
Feel free to always vent on here because most people in our lives will definitely not understand what we all go through

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
You never know if any of them struggled to get pregnant and might have been feeling like you do at one point
And im sure the rest of us have felt this way at one point - especially those of us that have been on here a long time

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
It is hard I am going through something similar with my SIL and its hard to not show on the outside how you are really feeling. Your day will come and you can all sit around and enjoy your children together.
For now you can vent to us about it

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
When I was TTC my first my best friend told me she was pregnant. It as an "accident" and she had a one night stand/reunion with her ex. It absolutely destroyed me especially because she knew we were trying.
2 weeks later I got a BFP!

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
Thank you so, so much everyone.
It's nice to have a place to vent like this and not be judged or rationalized with. I said something briefly to a colleague today and the first words out of her mouth were, "you're only 31! You have plenty of time!" That's not what this is about. She didn't get it. You girls do, and I appreciate that so much.

Re: Jealous... but happy... but sad...
I hope you are feeling better. i completely understand you post! It is annoying to be judged by people who have no clue.
I HATE when I say something in conversation and people respond with, "You dont have kids, you dont understand or Your not a mom you wouldnt understand"
So annoying! Those comments irritate me so much now, especially after my M/C.
