The pregnancy of friends is making me depressedupdated: Thu Jan 28 2010 12:48:00

I have been having infertility issues for over three years (including many failed IVFs, and miscarriages). Over the last year, I have had good friend after good friend announce her pregnancy. Literally, at least one per month. I am happy for them because I care for them, but each time I hear those words it hurts worse and worse. When I am around them they talk mommy-talk (as they should) but being around them just throws me into depression.

How can I be supportive of them while protecting my heart, emotions and mental health?
