Pregnant Lesbians at Work (the 2 week blockage)

There is a lesbian at my job, who purportedly got pregnant with her first child on the first try, and with second try she had first timer's luck as well.

I am jealous. Okay, less harsh, envious. She got pregnant with the second child when we were on our second IUI. Now as she is gigantically pregnant, I am left seeing how big I would be if it had taken.

When my partner and I began trying a friend of hers had just decided to start trying. We were due for our periods on the same day. She turned up pregnant and I was stunned, because I was under an ignorant impression that I should be pregnant too.

I bet alot of people on medicated IUIs have similar envy stories. But how do you handle them? Probably better than me. I can't even look at magazines in grocery aisles anymore, because most of the time you see completely irresponsible crackhead celebs popping out puppies.

I guess nerdy healthy gals don't get those breaks. Gee, whiz I sound bitter, but I'm actually not. In fact, I am feeling better now that I have this appointment to look forward to and try to focus on a new cycle.

In fact, I am already looking for new activities to help pass the wait. I think I will read such and such, and work on this and that, continuing to pass my life in two week blocks
