Infertility is so lonely?

So many friends that were once dealing with infertility, like me, have become mothers. I'm the only one left. They don't talk to me anymore--it's like I have a disease. All of my friends have children or are pregnant. I've been struggling with this for more than 6 years. I just wish I had someone to talk to who could truly understand. Does anyone have any advice?

Update:

Sophia, really? So, you think just because my friends have moved on and left me behind that I don't have a reason to be sad? It's not bad enough that I'm losing my dream of parenthood, but I should just live with it and not care that I'm lonely for friendship? Ya know what? I don't abandon MY friends when they have kids...I don't expect THEM to abandon me when they do. If you do that to yours, I feel sad for them. How long have you been dealing with infertility? Talk to me when you've been in my shoes. Until then, save your snarky answers for someone else.

As far as "You need to look into other options if you want to become a parent." Yea, I know. After six years, wouldn't you figure I've done that? I've spent over 15 thousand dollars on fertility. It's not always that simple sweetie.

    I assume that you've seen a doctor or two in these past 6 years, what did they tell you? You need to look into IVF and other options if you ever want to become a parent. As for your friends, they have just different lives and different interests now, you can't blame them for being so busy with their children.

    I agree... I feel ur pain and found out 7 yrs ago when i was 19, that i couldnt have kids.. Then i got excited bc i thought i was but started spotting today even tho my period was due may 9 and now june 6, but it skipped may, now spotting.. It is very depressing and i truely know how u feel.. I learned to lean to my family for support and courage.. There were many days, sometimes now even, that i wish i could go to sleep and never wake up. Its so hurtful knowing i cant be a mother and im a loving person with so much love to give to my child.. But knowing i got my family helps get me thru it, plus my neice is a therapist and give me free sessions. The counseling really helps too.. Who needs friends really... I say rely on family and maybe consider counseling!! Worked for me.. Just some advice or food for thought...

    First, I might quit and check out to be pleased about what you do have. Secondly, I might speak along with your associate approximately adoption. If you believe like you'll be able to furnish a loving residence for a youngster with out a loved ones, then probably it's the course for you.
