Does anyone struggle with infertility & friendships?

Question

I am just trying to make sure I’m not crazy!
Of course I keep my feelings to myself because it’s no ones fault but does anyone else have jealousy/sad feelings when your friends get pregnant by accident? 
My friend group is small one of my girlfriends got pregnant by accident and had twins and the other one got pregnant by accident and is currently in the early stages. Meanwhile, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over two years now, married for 3. It’s just been one problem after another for us unfortunately. But, we do start IVF this month! So hopefully we get to be parents soon! 
How have you dealt with these feelings towards friends? I’m not crazy right? It’s just hard to be happy for them. I am though, it’s very exciting! But still..

Answer

My friend who has 2 kids of her own fiancé has 2 kids. She complains about him being verbally abusive. Wanting to leave him. Living in his parents back house with no kitchen or bathroom. He doesn’t work she’s on welfare. Well they got pregnant by accident. I was sad for me but I powered through it. The she lost the baby. I was there for her. She unfortunately had a d&c he wasn’t there. I told her go on birth control since a baby is not a good idea right now. That was in April. Well she thinks she’s pregnant again. She doesn’t want to tell me because she knows how my husband and I have been trying for a year. She hasn’t offered ANY support for me, our other friend(God bless her!) she told me that info that she thinks she’s pregnant. She’s been there for me. Both girls are not married and not with their kids fathers. So they don’t understand but one is there for me. Offering love and support. She even said if need be she’ll carry the baby(don’t want it to get there but its nice to know she’ll do anything) so yes girl I feel you! I only have those 2 friends and they know about it.

Answer

I had 3 women in my wedding 18 months ago. My bff-due January 20th, my SIL- due December 30th, and my sister currently trying for baby #2. And of course they want me to throw them baby showers. BFF- of course I will. It’s your first child. SIL-this is your second and you deserve a sprinkle not a whole damn big shower. But I’m just sitting here, preparing for my period in 7 days and saving for 2nd IUI in September

Answer

It's perfectly normal. You can feel very happy for your friends and very sad for yourself at the same time.
