I hope you shared not only the good but also the bad and the ugly [u]so that they entered the process with clear eyed instead of starry eyed.
You went through two rounds of IVF, so it's not all milk and honey for you.

Lesson learned. You can be empathetic without actively encouraging.

Subject: Feeling so much guilt about my friend's IVF struggle
A couple years ago, I went through two rounds of IVF, which resulted in my 1 year old DD and 3 frozen. My best friend, who also had fertility issues, was inspired by my success and ended up spending money she and her husband couldn't really afford for a round with donor eggs, which resulted in 2 embryos. I encouraged her the whole process. The first didn't take, and we found out yesterday, neither did the 2nd. I am devastated for her, and I feel truly horrible for my part in encouraging her to try it.
