[quote=Anonymous]I was on the receiving end of the news, when we were TTC -- unsuccessfully -- and my friend announced her big news. We had planned a weekend together, and this was the first thing out of her mouth, understandibly so! It felt like a gut punch, and it was really, really hard to keep it together in the moment. As the day wore off, I was able to come back and explain myself, because I was in fact quite happy for her, just really sad for us. We did drift appart some -- suddenly we lost a lot of common grounds for conversation, especially once her baby was born. But when we finally adopted my daughter, she was the first one to come over with a huge load of presents, and lots of advice! The kids, by the way, have a really great relationship, even though they don't see each other very often (we have moved accross the country since).

Moral of the story? A good friend will make the effort to get past that initial shock. And even if right now it's hard, there is life after the IVF, and more reasons to stay friends than not. While you want to keep talking about the pregnancy, make sure you also hear her war stories. [/quote]
