Just found out that my last childless friend is pregnant. I am officially the last woman among my friends who does not have kids yet. How do I deal with it? Two of my friends right now are pg. And I have been trying for almost 2 years. I feel like I am falling into depression, and I just want to isolate myself from everybody including my husband. I feel very helpless and sorry for myself. How do you ladies deal with other;s pregnancies.

Hi Katerina,

I am in a similar situation. A lot of my friends are not married yet, but of the ones who are, a lot have kids or are pregnant. My best friend is pregnant and wasn't even trying. It was really hard to hear the news.

I am having a really hard time lately, but what DOES help is remembering all of the positive things about my own infertility battle and telling myself that I do have time. This is NOT a race. When I stop the comparisons, it gets a little easier.

For example, I just took an MIS blood test and they determined that I have a great egg reserve. That little fact REALLY keeps me going.

Good luck to you!
