Scenario No. 4:
Susie’s infertile friend Betsy announces at a lunch with a
group of friends that she and her husband are trying to get pregnant. Betsy excitedly mentions that she is doing
her first round of Clomid. Rookie! Susie lets out a sigh and casually says,
“Well, good luck with that. I tried it
and it certainly didn’t work for me.”
DON’T: Let Susie get
inside your head!
DO: Feel hopeful that
this treatment will work for you.
Everybody is different and what doesn’t work for some can certainly work
for others. Also, understand that Susie
is probably down in the dumps from the failed attempt at making a baby. Just keep smiling; Susie could certainly use
a friend in the same situation to show her what it’s like to hope and to have
faith.
If you ARE Susie…
DON’T: Be such a
Debbie-Downer!!!
DO: Express words of
encouragement to your friend Betsy. If a
certain treatment didn’t work for you, zip it.
The next treatment might be the key to bringing home a baby and you
definitely wouldn’t want someone to smash your dreams. Remember, “Always be kind, for everyone is
fighting a hard battle.”
