Ok, so I know I'm just on my first cycle post m/c where we can TTC. So I'm not even stressed about that, yet. However today I get back from lunch and MH says oh it looks like so and so is pregnant. I say, no way, they just got married like 6 months ago, and she was adament that she wanted to wait at least a year. I see her as I'm walking back to my desk and yep, definitely pregnant, and by the looks of it around where I would be...lovely, so here I am dealing with my post m/c AF (which by the way is a total biatch, if I didn't want children so badly, I'd try to stab my uterus) and just getting over a nasty 24 hour virus where I thought I would throw up my own stomach I was puking so much, and she's happily pregnant.
Luckily MH is wonderful and told me we could take sick leave for the rest of the day if I wanted to...blame it on my stomach virus. But I need to save my leave.
I know I shouldn't be jealous of another person's ability to have children, and I'm sure I'll be happy for her when the office throws her a shower. But I'm mid-pity party and still dealing with hospital bills from the m/c, so I just want to cry.
Re: I think I may cry (pg mentioned)
That blows ((((hugs)))) Maybe you should take the rest of the day off and go for ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream.

Chocolate!
this - the wine is key! {{hugs}}
There will be plenty of wine...but I gave up chocolate for Lent. Do you think God will forgive me if I break Lent this early?
Oh, and denial is my best friend. Luckily I work in a relatively big office and I telework every other day. I just need to get on the opposite telework schedule as her.

Yuck, that sucks. I vote pity party with lots of wine also!
The first cycle was really hard on me too. I'm on my second cycle now, and I'm feeling a lot better. It will get better.
I have to constantly remind myself not to compare my situation with others. The fact of the matter is, pg women and babies seem to be everywhere after a m/c. Short of hiding out at home, we are going to be exposed and reminded of our losses. In the end, we will be stronger and more resilient, and I believe those will be invaluable traits when parenting.
