My daughter is turning a year old this upcoming weekend, we always said that we would try for #2 when she was 1 but decided for me to go off the pill in January and just let nature takes its course.
I did OPK's, thought for sure that we didnt get the right window but took a test yesterday along with today and there is a faint but visible line. Still a bit early but will continue to test.
My best friend on the other hand, has gone through 5 or 6 IVF rounds and has lost about 4 babies so far, her body just wont accept a pregnancy and the doctors cant explain to her why.
Since I had my first baby, our relationship hasnt been the same. There is something there that wasnt there before, a bit of uncomfort when we talk/hang out. I personally think its a bit of jealousy (not trying to sound harsh, really I am not) or just that its hard to see me with a baby when she is unable to have one. I feel bad for her and her husband, I dont ask her many questions on the topic since I know it can be hard to discuss. It took my husband and I 2 years to conceive our first and I know what its like when people ask you questions all the time.
Anyway, once this pregnancy is confirmed, I am having a hard time figuring out how to tell her. She just lost another baby to IVF 2 weeks ago. I dont want this to hurt our relationship - which it really shouldnt, but I know how hard it must be to see other people getting pregnant when she is unable to.
Looking for some words of advice on how to approach the topic with her. I want to be able to share the details with her, but afraid to talk about it. Even with my daughter, I feel weird telling her things, I am afraid it will upset her.
