Feeling angry and emotional, anyone else?

My first post!
I've been TTC for 4 years now, hopefully will be starting IVF very soon. I know I should be excited by this but I feel angry and resentful that I have to go through this treatment when others have it so easily. My friends (who all either have children or are expecting) are excited but I don't want to talk about it with them. They're already asking me when I'm having my second and it's 'unfair for a child not to have siblings'. I want to scream at them and say I'd be lucky to have one!! Anyone else going through this or something similar?

Jamahi I know how you feel. Me and my OH have been trying for the last few years and getting no where. We've been the drs and IVF may be possible if we can meet the criteria. The problem is everytime one of my friends has a new baby I'm happy for them of course but also think 'Why haven't we had our chance yet?'. Then I have them asking when I'm going to have one or my mum mentions having grandchildren in passing to her friends and it always gets to me. So I know how hard it can be. Hang in there it'll happen eventually for you xx
