I actually know someone who never wanted kids and didn't like getting a period every month, so she had a hysterectomy! It's so not fair! She had a perfectly good set of reproductive organs, and didn't want them. I, on the other hand, can't have a period on my own more than a couple of times a year, and will need medication and other interventions to get pregnant! If only she and I could have switched bodies!

Yes, I'm jealous of pregnant women, too. A good friend just had a baby -- conceived without trying. A coworker announced recently that she's pregnant, and she wasn't trying either. She was planning on trying in June, but got pregnant a bit sooner than expected. My husband and I haven't used birth contol for years, but I haven't gotten pregnant. And even with Metformin, I'm still not getting pregnant! It's so unfair!
