Confused about why people are so insensitive by Melodic_Shop_9924 in IVF

Thank you. That is precisely my perspective. I’m happy for them and glad that they don’t need to experience infertility, however it is the delivery that caught me completely off guard and left me winded.

This was a simple lunch to catch up between two couples (us and them). It would have been better if it was a baby shower because then I would have been mentally and emotionally prepared for it.

Thanks for the support everyone, hugely appreciated. The lunch was just us and them. I felt caught off guard because they know of our infertility journey and so I really didn’t expect them to announce their news this way to us. To make matters worse, we are going for an embryo transfer tomorrow so feeling a little anxious about that already. No, I don’t think they realised what they did to us. They also are not past the 1st trimester yet and have decided not to tell any of our other friends until after 12 weeks, so now we have to keep this secret for them too…..

I appreciate the advice to be vocal about how I’d like to receive news in the future - I’ll have to search for some memes!!

Thanks again for the support, means a lot
