Dear Friend Navigating Infertility,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to share something with you, though I know it may be challenging to hear: I’m expecting again.
I’m aware that you may feel a mix of emotions right now. While I believe you’re genuinely happy for me, I know this news may also amplify your own struggles. It’s tough when others don’t fully grasp the depth of what you’re experiencing. I can’t claim to understand every nuance of your journey, but I do remember my own battles with infertility and the feelings that came with seeing pregnancy announcements. It’s a strange paradox to feel joy for someone while grappling with bitterness and heartache.
Please know I’m not trying to make this about myself; I just want to express my understanding of how you might be feeling. I understand that my joy can serve as a painful reminder of your own journey, and for that, I’m truly sorry. I never want to add to your pain, even if it’s unintentional.
I promise to be considerate throughout my pregnancy. I won’t bombard you with updates that could feel like a sting. If you feel the need to take a break from my social media posts, I completely understand. I won’t drag you along shopping for baby gear, and I won’t use those clichéd phrases like, “It will be your turn someday” or “Everything happens for a reason.” Those kinds of comments can feel dismissive, and I would rather just offer a hug and say, “I care about you.”
If you need time to retreat with your favorite snacks and a drink to cope, please don’t hesitate to do so. I respect that this is a personal journey for you, and I’ll support you in whatever way you need. You are incredibly strong and brave. I admire your resilience as you face each cycle with grace and determination. It’s inspiring to witness your tenacity, and I’m grateful that I can call you my friend.
Just because I’ve overcome my own struggles with infertility doesn’t mean I’ll stop advocating for your victory. You may feel alone, but I’m here, ready to stand beside you in this fight. I’ll share your tears, celebrate your victories, and keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Always and forever, with a stack of ovulation predictor kits and pregnancy tests in hand,
Your Friend
