I really appreciate this video. My first thought was how I would share this with someone very close to me who I know has struggled for years. 🥺

Thank you, you are absolutely right. I am struggling with infertility and have been in IVF process for 2 years. I received the news from my sister that her first embryo transfer had worked, on a surprise one on one FaceTime. I found it incredibly difficult to show excitement on the spot while I was overwhelmed with my own emotions. Her then trying to be reassuring and telling me that my turn was coming soon made it even worse because it put emphasis on my failures. I truly would have preferred getting the news by text, or in a larger family group where her focus would not have been on my reaction.

Dr this Video is really heart touching I am trying to have a baby and I had one friend she did same thing that you said don’t. She had 3 kids before and after that even she knew we are trying hard for baby. She was hiding that news from us for 5 months even we meet talked she never told that. Then all of sudden she invited for dinner and that was her gender reveal, we didn’t have any clue.. she surprised us actually, we shocked because we met so many times she never told us. She made fun of us in front of one family. We came home after that night and since then we never talked to them and we decided no need to have friends like them. Thanks for this video ❤
