Since I wrote that post I had a baby, who is now 4.5 years old! I have made tons of friends through my child, through meetup groups, preschool, moms groups, etc. But meetup was definitely the best way that I was able to make new friends. I am in a part-time very social job and made lots of friends through that. Now I always have weekend plans whenever I want them and I have several really good friends, and have a large social circle. I'm rarely lonely anymore because I have such a large social circle and people always want to do things. So things have changed for the better since I wrote that post! The only downside is that we have been struggling with secondary infertility for 4 years and it doesn't look like I'll ever be able to have a second child. So I'm pretty depressed about that.

When I was reading your original post the first thought I had was - have a baby! I know that's not considered sensible advice for loneliness and the lack of family feeling so I wouldn't have said it. However I'm happy to read your update, so glad you have a sweet 4.5 year old. I've made some close friends through my kids also, it is rewarding and fun.
I hope you have success with baby 2, how old are you? Don't wait long to see a doctor, sometimes they can help with non-invasive treatments (if you haven't already).

OP here. We have basically a zero percent chance of ever having a second. I've already done 4 IUIs and 3 IVFs and I'm done with infertility treatments. So unfortunately it doesn't look like we can have anymore children unless a miracle occurs.
