I am sad that that's how you choose to spend your time. If you don't like the blog, don't read it. Wow. And I'm not looking for anyone to coparent with me - not that I haven't had the opportunity. I debated deleting this comment, but for now I'm leaving it up, because it is just so insensitive and clearly not written by someone who has any experience with infertility (and is therefore such a good example of the kinds of insensitive crap people say to folks dealing with infertility... though usually its not intentional, like this one clearly is.) I do appreciate all of the rest of y'all's kind comments on here. ETA - the thing is, its really not that hard to figure out who someone is on the internet a lot of times if you know her email address and she has a public facebook profile, as this woman does. Turns out, she knows this particular couple, so I suppose her comment is no big surprise. Moving on now.... Wow, I don’t know who you are or why you feel the need to leave such a nasty comment on my blog. I am sad that that’s how you choose to spend your time. If you don’t like the blog, don’t read it. Wow.

Maybe no one wants to co-parent with you because you are too busy having pity parties for yourself on the internet. The couple you are talking about in this blog should be happy, because their life is so amazing that is makes you miserable and envious. and you feel the need to blog about it.

It's just so much to ask of someone to watch everyone else get what they have wanted, prayed, wished, hoped, and tried for for so many years. I find it excruciating.

I had a hard time when a friend who got pregnant by accident was hoping for a miscarriage early on. What helped me was to repeat to myself that they aren't stealing your spot in line because there is not a limited quantity of babies out there. You will get there, too! I am optimistic that your pregnancy and child won't be far away, either. Keep us posted on the fate of the stockpile of meds -- we're really excited for you! It isn’t fair!

There is no logic, and it's just stunningly unfair. I want you to know that you are deserving. I am cheering for you now, and can't wait to cheer for you as you navigate pregnancy and parenting.

There is no logic, it's completely random and unfair. I hope your turn comes soon! Those feelings are totally understandable. There is no logic, it’s completely random and unfair.
