Re: This is gonna sound awful but......
I don't think you sound evil at all. It's totally normal to feel that way.

Re: This is gonna sound awful but......
You are not evil!!! You don't have bad feelings towards a friend, you just wish it for yourself. Since you are posting on the infertility board I'm guessing you have problems like everyone else here.
Some people think it's so easy to get pregnant, and for those of us who are struggling with it, the drugs, the losses, the stress, it's an uphill battle!
Sometimes it's hard to dig your heels in when everyone else around you is getting pregnant. I have those moments too and I pray for grace and guidance. Sometimes it works and I feel better right away and sometimes it doesn't and I have to work through it. You have to believe it will happen for you, I know, easier said than done. Prayers for you.

Re: This is gonna sound awful but......
You are definitely not alone. It is perfectly natural to feel that way.
I watched two of my closest friends concieve and give birth already. And I started TTC before they did. While I am so happy for them, it was very hard for me to see their bellies get bigger, visit them in the hospital when their babies were born, and to hear them constantly talk about their babies now. It just makes me long for my own baby even more.

Re: This is gonna sound awful but......
it doesnt sound awful - it sounds normal. I get upset when i see how easy it is for some women and then think about how difficult it will be for us....and how much money we'll have to pay for something that, as a woman, i'm supposed to be able to and create automatically, naturally, & free. I understand your feelings.

I don't think you can "turn it off" I think it's very normal to feel this way. Hang in there!

Re: This is gonna sound awful but......
It is completely normal to feel that way.
I talked to my therapist about this very thing last week (my co-worker who has been going through fertility issues just got pregnant).
I liked how she put it - feeling jealous isn't a bad emotion. It just signifies to you that the reason why you feel this way is because you really want something that you can't have at the moment. There's no shame in knowing and feeling very deeply that getting pregnant is something you really, really want.
