All my friends own houses now (I also live in an insane housing market) and everyone has kids or is pg and for the past 6 months I have had so many jealous thoughts that it makes me feel like a bad friend. I try to remember that everyone has highs and lows in their lives and you never know what is behind closed doors. No one's life is perfect despite how it may seem on the outside. You deserve just as much happiness.

So many people have told me to 'count my blessings' (which I do). But lets be honest, those are the people that have never wanted something so badly they can taste it but not actually grasp it.<BR/><BR/>I hope one day you are able to send HER an email that makes her go "Jenny has my life!".

I used to feel really guilty about it, but I decided jealousy is natural and we deal with so much frickin pain anyway-- I just decided to feel those feelings as strongly and quickly as I could and try to get through it without hurting anyone's feelings. I am also in an extremely overpriced housing market (so. CA)-- and we will never be able to afford a decent house in a safe neighborhood here. We just keep plunking money on the apartment (and treatment). <BR/>I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. I have been through 4 IVF's with no BFP-- it's Hell. Thanks for blogging-- it helps me remember that I am not alone. I still haven't built up the courage to start one of my own. I hope both of our dreams come true soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
