Too much to handle. (preg mentioned not mine)

in Trouble TTC
so this week is just been all sucky. started with me having to work yesterday so I didn't get to spend time with my family, since I didn't get to go to my parents house my sister decided to stop by and see me and show off her baby bump. she's only 3 months along and last time I checked the baby don't jiggle I can tell she's just pushing her belly out and its frustrating I'm not giving her moreattention and I know that's all she's looking for. and I know its only Tuesday but Monday and Tuesday at my work are horrendous. we find out that our schedules have changed now I have to work later which means I will only get to see my husband for maybe an hour tonight because he has to get up at 2 a.m. For work...I wanted to throw down my keys and walk out the door but I need this job to pay for treatment. then I get to the meeting today and my boss is upset about something so one of the other ladies who's pregnant says oh I'm pregnant so I'm going to cry. that's your excuse for everything my feet hurt because I'm pregnant my head hurts because I'm pregnant I'm going to cry because I'm pregnant I was yelling at them because I'm pregnant, right now with all these treatments my hormones are as way out of whack as hers are but if I were to have any of these things no it wouldn't be acceptable. then to top it off my coworkers and my boss know about our issues right now but when I tell the pregnant one that is national infertility aware this week she says oh what is that for. I tried to explain it to her but she thought it was pointless and I was fed up...so I spent my entire hour and a half drive home bawling my eyes out and I just wanna go to bed and forget about everything...sorry about the long post but I had to ramble because obviously nobody I know cares or understand about these issues they all think its in my head
