My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the past year. We just started getting tested, etc. My brother in law & his wife announced for the second time w/in a year that they are expecting. Baby #1 was born in November 2009 and baby #2 is now due October 2010. Since we have been trying, they got pregnant, had the baby and are NOW pregnant again. How do you deal with fertile couples? I'm exhausted and bitter. I know these are not the best ways to cope, but come on, we were in line first. To top it off, since baby #1 arrived all they did was complain about how much work it is, and they wanted to 'wait' awhile before having baby #2. Less than 8 weeks doesn't seem fair when we have been trying for the last stinken year. Any advice ladies? I'm exhausted.
To those that gave support, thank you. Those that were mean, why did you waste time answering my question? I congratulated the happy couple as soon as I heard and put on my happy face for them. I think I'm allowed to have one hour in one night where I vent and let my frustrations out. Thing is, I'm not a bitter person and don't get jealous of people. The person who wrote that you hate when I called you 'fertiles' oh well. You will never understand our heartache and what it feels. I never wish for people to go through this. Having other couples announce pregnancy reminds me that miracles happen every day, because children are truly a miracle. Thanks to the nice comments, you rock. I'm feeling MUCH better.
