mokey1: "It's too bad that some feel that their life begins and ends with children. I've seen people do nutty, irresponsible things just to get pregnant."
netsurf12: "Boohoo, your friends' lives are better then yours."
tinydancer1: "Try telling an otherwise healthy woman that she cannot bear children. It is a tough pill to swallow, and if most women were in the situation, they would feel envy/sadness for other pregnant women and families. It does not mean they wish ill for any of these people but rather long for those possibilities."
pegric: "Funny how I lost all sympathy with these whiners. 'How dare you be happy! I am not happy. Therefore, hide your happiness.' Job would be a-laughing."
localreader2: "Whether you've gone through it or not, it is not a stretch to understand that infertility is an emotionally painful experience that takes time to come to terms with."
minidiver1251: "Maybe we all need to stop telling each other how to feel."
fredsfavefan: "My advice to people who get upset with Facebook: Don't log on."
driveshaft: "I am a woman who has tried to get pregnant for years with no success. I am still happy for friends and relatives who get pregnant, because that's the decent thing to do."
sh522: "No one's life is perfect."
