I've Been Lapped By an Infertile!

Let me start by saying that I fully expect to get lapped (in births) by fertile friends and acquaintances.  The average age difference between siblings is 2.5 - 3 years apart.  F and I have been trying to get me pregnant for 3 full years now--all of 2009, 2010 and 2011.   Friends that had babies in 2009 are currently gestating or planning for baby #2.  Unfair, but I can deal with it.

However, to my shock and dismay, I have been lapped by a fellow infertile.  Actually she is super "fertile," she just happens to have PCOS.  Give her injections and she gets knocked up lickety-split.  At least that is how I perceive it.  We really aren't close and I found out about her fertility treatments on facebook.  She had her first injectable IUI in early 2010 and a baby 9 months later.   You know, it's 2012 and she already has another baby due in October.  No, not just another baby--TWINS.

I am happy for her.  3 babies in 3 years.  Way to go Gonadotropins.

Dude, awesome post title:
Way to Go-nadotropins

I'm sorry that you are getting lapped by an infertile. I've been a member of an online TTC forum for 2 years, and I've been lapped in that time by infertiles as well. Being lapped sucks, plain and simple.

Thinking of you!
