Hi everyone. I just found this forum today and thought I would give it a shot.
My husband and I are 26 and have been trying for 18 months now. We have already seen the reproductive specialist and she can't find anything wrong with either of us. We are young, healthy, and active with no family history of trouble. I have been charting my cycle from the beginning and yet nothing.
This past week has been especially hard for me. I was certain we had succeeded this month, but I was wrong. And to make matters worse our close friend, who has only one ovary, managed to get pregnant on the first try. They just told us last weekend. At this point I am pretty certain everyone in my entire life is pregnant except for me.
I'm supposed to go to a party this weekend and I just know all the talk will be about her new baby and when I am going to have one. I just don't know if I can deal with that.
rosekm,
The emotions you're dealing with right now are very normal, and I think we've all experienced them, so don't be too hard on yourself. You are going to love this forum and group of ladies who can really relate to all you're going through. It's a real circle of friends to lean on. See you around! 
Hi and welcome! You will find you're in great company here and that everyone is super supportive. I hope it's not a slap in the face that the first response you get is from "one of those annoyingly pregnant women."

We all have those days and we all need support...this is the place to find it!!! You are in good company here...the women are strong and supportive.

I just found this forum yesterday and from all the posts I've read it seems to be the most welcoming place I've found yet. I know what you're going through as we've been TTC for about 16 months now. I'm lucky in that I have some local friends who are struggling with fertility issues as well, so I can talk about things and vent with them, but it's nice to have a bigger forum where no one knows me and I can say what I want and ask some questions that may not be relevant to my local friends. I have my good days, and I have my bad days where I want to scream at people who are frustrated after only three months of TTC and I can't help but glare at all the pregnant women I see when I'm shopping. lol
Hope you find some comfort and help here!

Hi rabidpecan and rosekm! Welcome!
This is the best site for support, information, venting, everything! Just when you think you have something that is 'TMI', guess what? It's not! We ask each other anything and everything. We get excited for each others BFPs and support when there are BFNs.
Feel free to join us in all the forums. The busiest I think is the TTC/2ww (Trying To Conceive: two week wait between ovulation and Aunt Flow (AF))
You learn a lot there

Welcome rosekm! In my short amount of time here I have found that I am not alone, and I hope that you will find comfort from everyone like I have.
I agree that when you are pregnant it seems that everyone you know is getting pregnant (and usually very easily, which really stinks!). My husband and I TTC for 9 months. When we became pregnant, we had a m/c a short time later. We have been TTC for 4 months. In that time, three neighbors, three family members, and a coworker became pregnant.
Waiting is tough. I pray that you find strength and comfort.
