[b]Oh and please don't ever say "I'll be praying for you" ugh[/b][/quote]

Add to the do not say list:  "Some days my kids drive me crazy and I wish I were in your shoes."  Comments like that are totally insensitive to the struggles of infertility. [/quote]

OP here: That is one that I was very conscious not to say.  I didn't want to say anything to minimize the joy of children when he obviously knew what he was missing.  I hate when people do that for anything that they have and another doesn't. That's just good sense and politeness. Thanks.[/quote]

I'm the 14:06 PP and i agree with what everyone has said after me.  Especially the PP who said it probably would end up hurting more if I said something about my infertility struggles, particularly to a woman, b/c it emphasizes that i got what I wanted in the end. I totally get that and agree 100% that when I was struggling with infertility, no one could say anything right.  I will never ever forget the phone call I had with one of my sisters during that time, when I was pouring my heart out to her, and she said "well, don't feel so bad b/c being pregnant really sucks."   :shock:  :(   She's such a moron.
