OMG, Why?

Okay, so I have a close friend that has been struggling w/ IF and PCOS. It has been nice to have someone to lean on and support me. She and her husband haven't been married very long, a few years, but her pain was just as real as mine. We really have helped one another a lot. When I got on MySpace this morning, she had posted a new blog. I immediately read it, guess who is pregnant... SHE IS. Damn it. I guess I knew it was inevitable, but still, now it is just me. I love her and I am SO incredibly happy for her, but when is it going to be my turn. Haven't I been punished and made to sacrafice enough? 10 long excrutiating years. Sigh, I just want to be pregnant, to have my own baby, to make my husband a father. Why is it SO incredibly hard?

I need some love today ladies, please. :o(

" I'm so sorry. It's tough when someone who has 'been in your boat' isn't anymore. I don't know if there is ever an answer to the "why" question. All you can do is try every avenue you can. For me, I hope that through this 'journey' of trying to have a family, I can keep my eyes and ears open enough so I can be shown how this will happen for me. "

" I have been in the same boat...over and over again...All I can say is I am sorry it is not you. I know/understand how you feel. You just have to keep hope that it will happen for you. You are not alone...hang in there!!

ps: Your friend should have told you personally before posting on her blog....not sure what that is all about.... "

" It is an awful feeling - all the conflict...happiness and envy (not sure that is the right word - seems a bit extreme) how about wanting what she has. I completely understand and wish I had a good answer/explanation for you. I keep trying to remind myself that there is a lesson to be learned in all of this. Thinking of you. "

" im so sorry,its nice to have had someone in the same boat upto now, i agree that she should of told you personally rather than finding out on the net,the BFN's and the BFP's separate us all from our frineds,ive been waiting 13 years too ive watched all my friends have 2 to 3 children now its so painfull to be left behind but our day will come we must just stay strong and keep going,i think god is just testing our patients!

" i know exactly how you feel. i made what i thought was a really good friend on here that i talked to multiple times a day most days and as soon as i got my BFN (she was a month ahead of me with hers)i just stopped hearing from her.at first she said it was to give me some space to deal with my BFN but now i don't hear from her at all. it hurts to lose friends like that. i do think your friend should have told you and not let you read it online.

" Hang in there hon. It's hard I know the feeling all to well. I remember my hubby telling me my SIL was pregnant. I screamed out who gives a f**k. I was so mad she has been able to expand her family with no problem. Why not us it heartbreaking. I just saw the baby at 2months of age. I seen her 1 time during her pregnancy I stayed away. That was family. My friend that has popped out 4 due to me giving her one prescription of clomid. I didn't see her at all. "
