[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask opened ended questions: how are you doing? I would not directly ask her about infertility. I also would not talk about my kids in front of her. [/quote] Agree in part. When I was going through treatments, most of the time I did not want to talk about it with anyone besides my medical team. If I did mention it, I did not want advice or anecdotal stories about your sister's friend's cousin who just had to adopt/relax after years of failed IVF and boom, magically pregnant with twins. It was also painful to hear people complain about their pregnancies or kids when I was desperately trying to have one. However, I did NOT expect my friends to pretend their kids didn't exist, and was fine with life updates, "Larla just started a new daycare, she's liking it better than the last one" type talk.
