On month of trying and she’s pregnant

Yeah that’s right. My friend tells me a couple weeks ago that she and her husband are trying for another baby (they already have one two year old).
Today she let it slip that she’s pregnant. YAY. … This is so frusterating. It’s just so easy for some people. I work with someone who is  pregnant and due in May, another new girl who has a two year old (and they both tell me "when the timing is right it will happen for me, "  like they’re Gor or something)
Nobody that I know in real life seems to know what I am going through, not even James who just merely shrugged when I told him of my friend, and said "well, i did MY part."
Gee thanks James. Obviously not GOOD enough.
Then my other single friends who aren’t interested in having kids go "oh YOU don’t want a kid yet Hayley. Trust me". Yeah because everyone seems to know exactly what I want or what’s best for me, and I just don’t have a say in the matter at all.
Which obviously I don’t whether I like it or not, because then I’d be pregnant by now, which I am not,  or seemingly ever will be…I’m just going to spend the rest of my life working with pregnant people, having pregnant friends, and have babies thrown in my face with smug expressions and ‘words of advice’ as I sit there and TRY not to either cry or strangle everyone in sight.
Seriously, if and when I ever get pregnant, and I know of someone trying, I will never offer words of advice. Just a simple hug and a whisper "good luck, I’ve been through it and I know what it’s like." 
Gah.
Anyways, I’m off to stare at my barren belly.

Oh I sooo know how you feel! If I hear one more time, “relax! It will happen when it’s supposed to happen” I’m going to rip someone’s head off. Seriously! My friend got pregnant on BCPs! She’s due in 3 weeks. Sigh… it’s not fair. Oh she also has a 5 year old too. It’s so very frustrating. 14 months later, and I’m still not pregnat (actually 17mths since going off BC). GRRR
