I have a best friend who is currently struggling with infertility and she just opened up to me about it. If you struggled with infertility, what are some ways or things to say that can be helpful and supportive to her?

Let her talk about it as much as she wants even if it’s repetitive. Something like that is tougher than anyone realizes. Don’t push her away when she is upset about other’s pregnancies bc we all get fed up and people can only give so much until they have nothing left to give. She’ll be happy and supportive but where will the support be when she tries but can’t be as supportive as one would like? We all say things in a moment when we’re upset, it’s okay, let her know it’s okay and she’s just going thru a hard time (if she continues to be rude or so then that’s a different story, struggles don’t mean it’s okay to CONSTANTLY tear others down.

I dont know if there's anything that would make me necessarily feel better, but just having someone open and understanding to talk to. The fact she opened up to you is great! Especially a woman who might understand pressures maybe our husband's don't quite grasp like how our biological clock makes us very aware of how much time we have... And of course a genuine ill pray for you is always great 🙏🏻 could always use more of that
How do you know that you’re ready for number 2 lol. Me and my husband have had baby fever for a few months now and really want to start trying but just don’t know if we are truly ready.

I took a First Response test on Monday night, and there was a very faint line. Then, on Tuesday morning, I took another First Response test, and there was another faint line. Today, Thursday, I bought a Clearblue test and took it, but it came back negative.

I travk my periods on an app (basic, dont pay for it) been doing it about 4 months now.
Last month my period was 4 days early.
Im wondering now if that would make my ovulation window wrong on the app or does it adjust?
We are basically trying but easy going with it at the moment, no protection but not bring strict having sex on certain days!!!
My app is saying im due on today but nothing plus ive not got tender boobs like I usually do just before I start my period!

Who’s with me? I have my 2nd IUI officially on the books for tomorrow morning 8/28. I had one follicle at 21 mm and one at 15 mm. Based on the growth from my last ultrasound to today’s my team is fairly confident the smaller one will be mature enough by ovulation for 2 eggs vs my 1 egg from my 1st IUI.
I’m super excited and cautiously optimistic, really hoping for a sticky baby!!
