[quote=Anonymous]I conceived through IVF after years of TTC the old fashioned way and 4 failed IUIs. In that time literally a dozen or so friends and colleagues had kids had I never cut them off or really felt jealous. I realized that my friends having kids was in no way a barrier to me having children. Dealing with infertility can make you sad, frustrated, lonely, angry - you name it. But it's not an excuse to treat people badly. I'm in total agreement with PPs who suggest this woman is not your best friend. That said, if you choose to let her know about your pregnancy, tell her in person. Do NOT email her or write her a letter, especially if you both live locally. It's really patronizing to do the e-mailed-you-to-give-you-space thong. Either she can find it in herself to be happy for you or she can't. And if she can't be happy for you, then that tells you everything you need to know about the quality of your friendship. [/quote]
