[quote=Anonymous]Right after my miscarriage, I asked my IVF friend point blank if she was pregnant yet.  We're incredibly close and have discussed ovulation and egg white cervical mucous more than I'd like to admit so asking the question didn't seem invasive from my perspective :)  I asked her because I knew it was a possibility since she was cycling and I honestly needed to know one way or another so that I could process the emotions that I knew I would inevitably feel.  It turns out she is pregnant and her due date is just two days shy of my miscarried pregnancy and yes, it stung, but I got over it quickly and now I'm overjoyed for her.  My point is, if your friend is asking it may be because she wants to get the horribly uncomfortable feelings that can come up over with, so maybe consider giving her that courtesy if you think that may be the case. And, good for you for being sensitive to your friend's needs.  I did not struggle getting pregnant with my first but now that I've hot some bumps in the road trying to conceive number two, I most certainly have a new perspective on the situation. Congratulations to you, wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy!  [/quote]
