[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, so, we'd been trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years, 1 year with fertility treatments. I found out a week ago I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I have a very close friend who went through IVF for years (2 years ahead of when I did though), and was ultimately unsuccessful. She had a miscarriage at one point, and kept doing treatments for a year when they finally told her the chances were very low so she and husband stopped treatments. It's been a big loss for her, understandably. She has been kind of hands off when I was going through my treatments, which I understood because it has to be painful for her. In the last 6 months, she seems to be coming to closure with everything, she said she's in a good place now, and she's started asking me about my situation again. Which I was open with whenever she wanted to know. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't know what to say to her. She pointedly asked me today what was going on with treatments? 5 weeks is so early, I'd hate to tell her only for this not to work out for me and then I'd have hurt her unnecessarily. I also don't want to tell her a month from now and have her feel like I lied to her this whole time. I just don't want to hurt her, I know how I would feel in her shoes. I know she'll ultimately be happy for me but the news is going to sting. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks![/quote]
