[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was prepared to say no but 1. The fact that you've also dealt with infertility and 2. She posted about it...I would send a gentle and very brief text. When I was going through treatment I felt so alone and isolated and like no one I knew understood. Plus I loved hearing success stories. Just keep it brief. [/quote]

+1 I would appreciate a gentle mention of it at an appropriate moment. Whether it be next time we bumped into each other or whatnot. I am struggling with infertility for close to 4 years now and I often wish I could speak about it to more people. I would appreciate it. [/quote]

OP here. I didn’t go through fertility treatments. It just took 4 long years to conceive. Does that matter? If not what could I say?

She isn’t going through treatments either. She just writes things like “mourning not having another baby” and things like that  [/quote]

No, but if she brings it up you can share that it took you 4 years. Let her lead the conversation. Also how do you know she’s not going through fertility treatments? Maybe she’s just not sharing. [/quote]
