[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've never been through it, you have NO IDEA how incredibly difficult and painful it is.  Please, just give her time and space.  And in the meantime, if you are a believer, please pray for her.

Signed - been there, done that.  [/quote]

Yeah, pray for her while she gives you her ass to kiss. The world doesn't revolve around her infertility. [/quote]

Would you be so callous if your friend was dealing with a life-threatening illness?  What if she suffered a death in her immediate family?  Why are you making someone else's hardship about your needs?[/quote]

Exactly.  No one would dream of using the phrase "wallowing in poor me-dom" to describe someone in those situations.  It's because deep down, people (mostly those who've never experienced it) don't believe infertility is a good enough reason to experience significant grief or depression.  It isn't worthy of our compassion in the way that other tragedies are.  Instead, infertiles are told to "buck up" and "deal with it".[/quote]

Try experiencing secondary infertility and having the gall to even talk about it.  You're basically told you're an ingrate who should shut up because people who can't have kids at all have it so much worse than you.  You are REALLY not allowed to have pain.  [/quote]
