First off, I've had 3 miscarriages and now I'm on month 2 of no period and negative pregnancy tests. I've been scheduled for ultrasounds in a week, but it's looking pretty grim. I find myself jealous of every female friend of mine who has become pregnant or had a baby recently, and it seems like they all have at one time. One friend in particular just announced her pregnancy, but my bitterness is 5 months ago she and her husband had an abortion because they jointly agreed "it wasn't the right time" but now suddenly it's the right time? I was one of the only friends she told about the pregnancy and then about the abortion. She knew how against it I was but 3 days after telling me about her pregnancy, she told me they had gotten an abortion. Why do people even tell you that stuff!? I know it wasn't intentionally meant to hurt, but struggling with miscarriages and fertility issues made it hurt, and now the announcing of the new pregnancy makes it hurt even more. My husband and I want nothing more than to start our family... I guess my post is more of a rant about how insanely bitter and jealous I am and praying to God that someone else is going through this too (not for the hurting part, of course!) so that I know that I'm not completely insane and irrational. This just sucks. Watching people who can't afford to feed themselves have kids, or people who can't even move out of their parents homes, or who have 5 other children get pregnant.... It just blows. Eh, I just needed to reach out. I'm constantly on the verge of tears and I hate this feeling.
Re: I'm so bitter...
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

Also, Is this your first post on GP? I don't recognize your sn. If so, maybe tell us a bit about yourself in an intro post, and definitely stick around. If not, I apologize for not recognizing you.
ETA I'm sorry I can't offer more. I haven't personally experienced loss, but I know there are women here who have. It's a shitty thing I wish no one had to experience.

Unfortunetly, I have experienced one loss, but most here can understand how difficult it can be to express joy for others while in pain yourself.
