my hope was squished today

I found out today that a very good friend of mine is pregnant. I am very happy for them, it has nothing to do with that.
It's just that when my doctor saw that my TSH was off and the severity of my anemia could be two major of my contributing factors to not getting or staying pregnant it renewed my hope. You know fix the thyroid, fix the anemia, and I'll finally get pregnant.
Well this friend is about the fourth friend with thyroid problems that got pregnant easily AND she's severely anemic, recieving iron infusions as well. So it completley squashed my hope that my thyroid and anemia are contributing to my IF, I'm friggin broken and can't be fixed

oh hon I am so sorry ((hugs)) Remember everyone is different and maybe once they do figure out how to fix your thyroid and anemia it will help you get pregnant.
btw- I responded to the OTH post and you are most definitely going to be part of the conversation as soon as I catch up this weekend!
