[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she really experiencing infertility?  She has been married a year and she's 40-- sounds normal to me. Sounds like she may be a major drama queen and she'll be pregnant in months. If you are feeling generous and want to keep the friendship, I'd figure out ways to spend time with her in a space where you can relate.  Spa?  Shopping? But if she still can't be decent to you, suggest she talk to a therapist and fade on out. [/quote]

I disagree.  I was pretty grouchy after six months of nothing while tracking my cycle.  Not saying I was going around insulting people, but I wasn't exactly all smiles.  A year into TTC I was told I basically have as many eggs left as a 50 year old.  That was extremely depressing.  I knew there were options (none of which come with guarantees and many of which are very expensive), but there is something about the idea of not being able to conceive a child just threw me.  And I was never someone who was super focused on having kids when I was younger.

Even at 40, if they are having intercourse at the right time, not conceiving after a year is not a good sign.  They recommend seeking treatment after 6 months at that age.  Not saying it's ever justifiable to take your stuff out on other people, but the fact that she's upset is not surprising to me.[/quote]
