Dear Friend,
I want to approach this communication with the utmost sensitivity, given the challenges you are currently facing. I am writing to share that I am expecting a child once again. I know this news may be difficult for you to hear, and I want to acknowledge the mixed emotions that often accompany such announcements.
While I believe you are genuinely happy for me, I understand that this may also serve as a painful reminder of your own journey. Many people may not fully grasp the depth of your struggle, but I want you to know that I do empathize with the complexities of your emotions. During my own experiences with infertility, I vividly recall the conflicting feelings that surfaced when others announced their pregnancies. It is a confusing and painful reality, and I regret any distress this news may bring you.
Please know that I am committed to being mindful throughout my pregnancy. I will refrain from overwhelming you with updates that may feel like salt in an open wound. If you need to take a break from social media or avoid conversations about baby shopping, I completely understand. Your emotional well-being is paramount, and I respect your need for space.
I am aware that phrases like, “It will be your turn one day,” or “Everything happens for a reason,” can feel dismissive and unhelpful. Instead, I want to offer my unconditional support. If you need to take time for yourself—whether that means indulging in your favorite treats or simply having a quiet moment—I fully support your choices without any judgment.
What you might not realize is how immensely strong and resilient you are. Your unwavering determination through each cycle is truly admirable. You navigate your journey with dignity and grace, and your courage inspires me. I feel fortunate to call you my friend.
Most importantly, I want to emphasize that my journey does not diminish your own. I am here to stand by your side in your fight against infertility. You are not alone in this; I am ready to support you in whatever way you need. Whether that means sharing tears, celebrating small victories, or simply being present, I am here for you.

Take care, and know that I am always here for you.
Warm regards,
Dr. Emily Hart
