[quote=Anonymous]That's reasonable, OP. But what feels like support is going to be different for different people. So one person will say, "show up and cut up some pineapple core for me" and another will say, "I don't want to see anyone, so just send me a funny text" and another will say, "whatever you do, don't try to make light of this serious situation -- just tell me you care." Like with any hard situation in life, it's very individual. Just because we've all been through it doesn't mean we know the best way for YOU to support YOUR FRIEND. She's her own unique person, not made same by having infertility like the rest of us.

Please do understand, though, that the above reactions to people without infertility coming here and asking what to do for a friend are really not about you -- it's mounting frustration about something that happens over and over and over again on this board, and you're just catching the heat. No one's saying you're a bad person or bad friend -- some of us are just saying we wish people wouldn't come here to use us for this (somewhat silly and pointless, since we don't know your friend) advice.[/quote]
