Any advice on how to cope when friends tell you they are pregnant?

Hi Hun,

Welcome to bellybelly. My hubby and I are also doing IVF ICSI at the moment. My best friend and a few other friends are preganant at the moment. Although of course you are happy with them, I think it def does help to be honest with your friends and tell them what you are going through.

The day my best friend found out she was pregnant, she rang me in tears saying she wanted me to be the first person to know. I felt awful that she was upset telling me and of course I was thrilled for her as they had also been trying. Pregnant or not pregnant she is still my best friend and I tell her everything. If im having a crap day and feeling down about everything, I tell her, and she always makes me feel better.

I dont hide away and I dont feel any shame telling ppl that we are using assisted conception. People are curious and will always ask questions, but I like that try to understand what we are going through and that when we are lucky enough to get our baby, everyone will know just how wanted and loved they are.

Chin up honey and the girls in the LTTTC and assisted conception chat are fantastic.
