Crisis of faith

I am new to this board and have no one in my life who really understands what I'm feeling.  Yet another friend (the third this month) has announced her pregnancy.  Unexpected, unplanned, with her new boyfriend. 


How do you deal with the jealousy you feel when those around you are able to get so easily what you want so much but can't seem to have?  How can you say congratulations to someone who has had two chances at having a child in the past but aborted both pregnancies when you can't even manage to have one?  People tell me to have faith, that there is a plan out there for me, but I don't know if I believe this anymore.  I'm starting to feel like I'm a bad person for feeling this way but I can't seem to make it stop.


I'm still taking the clomid, my HSG unblocked my tubes, so I know there is still hope even though I'm feeling every one of my 37 years today.  I'm just not handling all these other women getting pregnant so easily very well.


I don't know what to do anymore...

Well, I certainly don't have any answers for you, but I can sympathize and be here for you.

I think just about all of us have had to deal with feelings of jealousy and bitterness.
