[quote=Anonymous]Infertility and stillbirth are two incredibly isolating experiences. Even if you know others who going through it, it is rare to find someone IRL going through the exact same thing and who really understands your feelings - someone may be doing IUI but have an excellent prognosis, someone else may have secondary infertility, someone else may have had a series of losses. Your friends won't be able to fully reconnect with you until they've grieved their losses, however long it takes for them to get there. If they are still TTC, the grieving may not be over until they've stopped (for whatever reason), because each period, miscarriage, or failed fertility treatment is another loss to grieve. But if you do stick with it, and are sensitive about what you say, they will come back eventually. If you can get them into a support group they might find that really helpful. [/quote]
