For me, it depends on who it is... how long they tried... and how excited they are. I still bawl when a friend gets PG, but don't get pissed over every PG I encounter anymore. I've been ttc since Oct. 2006.
It just depends...I hate hearing about people who get pg on their first month trying or weren't even trying. I was so happy for my BF though because she's had 3 m/c and had so many issues.
it's still getting worse for me I try not to let it get me down, because really, what can i do? but in my heart there's always that pain whenever i hear someone else is pg.
I think it goes it waves. Right now it's easier because I'm about to start a cycle and have some hope for myself. When I've just had a failure it's much harder to cope. Sometimes you just get to a point where you are numb to it all - you aren't happy, you aren't sad. Sounds depressing but it's really just a defense mechanism.

I'm right there w/ you. It seems like everyone (SIL's and close friends) were all pregnant this year. It really does sting when I hear someone else is pregnant. One of my SIL's has 2 kids and is ready to start trying again. It's going to be a hard day when I get that phone call from her saying she's pregnant. But, I agree w/ the pp, too, that there is nothing we can do about it, and when the time is right, it WILL happen for us.
In the begining it was hard. I hated hearing those stories that it took them "so long" to get pg when in fact it took them 3 months or the couple that didn't even want children and when they found out they were pg they thought it was the worse news in the world because it was going to interfere w/ their "social" lives.
This past summer I decided that I can't keep being bitter. It isn't anyones fault that I can't get pg but my own so I can't hold them being able to get pg against them. Sure the slightest bit of jealousy is still there but now I actually congratulate them rather than avoid them.

It never got easier for me heck I still get jealous when I hear of friends or family members getting PG easily.
I understand how you feel it is very frustrating!
