[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I want to encourage her to follow her heart but I feel so concerned for her health and if she will be physically healthy. She is newly married and I think this is the happiest that I have ever seen her. I feel so conflicted, is it false hope I am giving if I encourage her? I also do not want to discourage her from doing something she has always dreamed of.

If you really feel this way, the nicest thing you can do is distance yourself from your friend because an IVF journey with donor eggs is already difficult and stressful enough without having a judgmental friend who can't quite keep her uncharitable thoughts to herself.  If you can't be wholly supportive of her, then stay away.  Whether she does this or not, she'll have had a consultation with an RE who will have advised her what her reasonable expectations are and determine whether there are any health risks to herself and any baby that she carries.  Her health is not your business, but the business of your friend, her husband and her doctor.  A good friend will be supportive of her in whatever she chooses to do without qualifications.[/quote]
