but ultimatly happy.
Girl ends bad marriage. Girl meets wonderful young man 10+ years her junior. Boy and girl court, date, move in. Delight and happiness abound, friends rejoice for good fortune and true love. Boy and girl plan to marry, but first plan to start "trying," expecting, as responsible folks might, that it could take awhile due to her age. Surprise! First try! Boy and girl announce upcoming wedding. Boy and girl announce upcoming baby. Friends and family delighted, as they were already tuned-in on the plan. What prosperity, what luck!
Infertile friend thrilled and tearful at prospect of lifelong and perfect love for girl, who has been through a very bad five years. Infertile friend can't help but be jealous at the romanticism of it all, and wonders if she'd been so "responsible" in her planning and thoughts, if she might've had a romantic time of it.
Infertile friend has dream about visiting her RE to plan ahead for the "next one," and was greeted with hugs, kisses, and open arms full of congratulations. Ironic since the man barely cracked a smile at the positive beta test and ultrasound almost six months ago.

These things are always bittersweet especially when you add our experiences to them. *hug*
Wow- I can relate to that ambivalence of being very happy for someone, but on the other hand, being tempted to gag at "how romantic" it all is.
My bro and sis-in law got married on an emotional high, not knowing each other very long, etc. The romantic stuff really grossed me out and annoyed me. Six months after the wedding, they are "coming back down to Earth" and have realized that nothing is really "perfect" or romantic all the time :-)
