[quote=Anonymous]My “infertile” cousin is expecting her 7th.  Her oldest just turned 11.  Because it took over a year to conceive their 4th she calls herself infertile and is in all the fertility support groups with me.

Here I am, half way through my 3rd IVF pregnancy with no children.  I had three failed IVFs and my first successful IVF ended in a 2nd trimester miscarriage and my last successful IVF resulted in our daughter being stillborn.  It’s been a tough road.

I know I’ll get called jealous and nasty anywhere else.  But I’m really harboring some negative feelings towards my cousin.  Not because she’s having a 7th, but because she still puts on this “I’m infertile too.”

Every time I’ve struggled, she’s made sure to let it be known she’s struggled too.  She claims she’s had 3 miscarriages (one a twin of her oldest, the other most likely chemical pregnancies due to timing).

She claims her MLM has cured her infertility, and suggested my miscarriage was due to not taking her snake oils pills.

So, no.  I’m not happy about her 7th pregnancy, I’m too terrified about my pregnancy to be happy.[/quote]
