How to Tell My Infertile Friend I Am Pregnant?

Question by Kristin R: How to tell my infertile friend I am pregnant?
One of my best friends has been ‘trying’ to conceive with her husband for about 3 years now. Through extensive testing they have found out nothing to be wrong with her and he has a very low sperm count. IVF is their only option at this point, but they haven’t started that. From the beginning I have been super supportive, and one of her only friends who knows what is going on. Listening to her disappointment month after month. I really feel for her. She has learned of several friends & family members pregnancies in the 3 years of trying and each announcement is met with more sadness than the last. It is to the point now that when the last announcement came (her sister in law) my friend was bitter, stopped communicating with that side of the family for a period of time and had crying break downs daily for the first 5 months of her sister in laws pregnancy. My friend ended up being involved in the baby shower (out of pressure from her mother in law) and it was extremely difficult for her. When the baby was born she visited the hospital and has only seen the baby one time since. She just says it is too hard.
