[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I did infertility treatments for 9 long years. And I heard every unhelpful thing you can imagine. I had one friend I never discussed it with. It was so restful. I began not talking about it gradually with everyone. When I FINALLY got pregnant everyone was happy for me but they all said I thought you quit long ago! To myself I said no I just stopped talking about it. Maybe you are that restful friend. [/quote]

OP here and noticed my thread got bumped.

Thanks for chiming in.

I don’t think that is it, though. She doesn’t talk about it with anyone. She told me that a long time ago. Not her mom, sister, or close friend who did IVF. I want her to know she can talk to me![/quote]

Yeah but that's the whole point, with infertility you get to a point where you just don't want to talk about it.  If she is not bringing it up I wouldn't bring it up either.  As for your own children, I would talk about them if she asks.

Don't assume that your kids are a problem to her, I was happy for my friends pregnancies, births and children.  [/quote]
