I just got a pregnancy announcement today too!!! And, like you, I'm feel sorry for myself too. I wonder if it's the same person?? LOL!! Hang in there... I know that's easier said than done.
My method for coping with those days was to tell myself "that's not my baby." Basically, I reframed my thoughts -- that woman is having her baby, not my baby. Only I can have my baby. She is pregnant with her baby and I do not want her baby. I want my baby. I don't know if this will help you, but it sure got me through some tough days -- particuarly when my nephew called to announce his wife was pregnant after only six months of marriage. But, they didn't have my baby. I had my baby and I am praying that one day, you will have yours, too!
