This is so helpful! For me I hate being asked about it unless I bring it up.

People getting mad at you for giving helpful suggestions is crazy. Sometimes infertility feels like the only grief people don’t think is a big deal.

Thank you to this MIL for even thinking about this. I am currently dealing with a MIL who is basically doing the opposite and I can’t tell you how hurt and sad it makes me

One of my best friends is going through infertility. Do you have any words on how to best be there for her through it? Feeling so helpless as a friend through this time, but even saying that feels selfish

Yes! And I’d also suggest once the babies are here that having a baby and eventually a toddler is tiring but avoiding the ‘you don’t know tired until you have kids’ is helpful. IVF makes you tired, and if there’s any sort of known condition causing the infertility that makes you so so tired too ❤️

Love this! For me, as someone going through infertility, what I find the hardest is people complaining about being pregnant. I can handle pregnancy talk and don’t want people to walk on eggshells around me, but I do find it insensitive to make the whole conversation about how much pregnancy sucks. While that can be totally be valid, I think it’s something one can keep in mind when approaching someone struggling with infertility 🤍🤍 and also don’t force them to engage in that conversation (eg. “you’re being quiet”)

It does kinda suck when no one acknowledges it or brings it up…I thought I wanted to be the one to initiate, but when you get negative results, it’s hard to do.

A theme in what you’re saying is just not making assumptions, and I would agree with that. I hated it when people made the assumption it was hard for me to hear about other people’s pregnancies, it would have been nice for them to just be like - is this ok, or ask how I’m doing. The walking on egg shells is so awful, I’m not a bomb. In fact, you have to be incredibly resilient to go through IVF.
