you are a beautiful friend! You know, I think just being there and listening to her with out saying all the old cliched (sp?) things. Asking her to still do all the normal things you would have done before and not leaving her out cause you dont know if she will comfortable. I also reackon not hiding friends pregnancies from her, that I found awful, especially when I found out off people who werent so much my friends you really are just lovely!
That is a tough one..... there is not alot you can do but such a lovely gesture. I'd say as far as giving emotional support, if she is a talker just let her get it all out.... without saying the things that people think is comforting. If she doesnt like to talk about it then just spend time with her without mentioning it. Let her know its up to her if she wants to talk.
If you really want to give her something... perhaps a voucher for a pedicure or something pampering
Or just take her out... the cinema is great escapism during IVF, depending on the movie of course
What a beautiful friend you are for going above & beyond.... Wish one of my friends would do that......... they just oh thats sad.. maybe next time or go on holiday and it might happen then or just have a blank look of uh oh what do I do now.......
I agree with all of the above - let her know you are there to talk or not talk about it when ever & do nice girly things that will make her feel a bit special.
Maybe cook a few things to put in the freezer for when she has that horrid synarel headache
