[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP be glad she’s not asking about IVF. The absolute worst thing after your 3rd or 6th month of negative pregnancy tests is to have someone ask about it. The worst! When I was in the thick of my fertility journey I wished I had never shared with anyone that I was trying to get pregnant. I know people meant well, but it was horrible to have to talk about when I didn’t want to, and was extra hormonal too. I never did get pregnant but many years removed from the situation and now I just have to answer why I don’t have kids when I work with them, but if I could change one thing, I’d have been way more selective about who knew about my fertility journey when I was going through it.

+1. Do you really want her to follow up with you to ask if it worked that month? Or the "helpful" advice she might have asking if you have tried this or that. Or the best: "just relax and it will happen" blaming you for being too uptight as the reason. Be grateful she doesn't want to be involved.[/quote]
