Support Instead of Sympathy

Sarah
I'm fairly new to Glow, but absolutely love it! My husband and I have been TTC for 3 years. We've recently decided to enlist the help of an infertility specialist to just make sure there's nothing abnormal. When I told some close friends about this, they're responses were "Awwww...". As if they feel sorry for us. How about a little support, words of encouragement?? I know that's it's a weird subject, but I wasn't looking for sympathy. Anyone else feel the same way?

:/ my best friend told me maybe my body isn't good enough to hold a baby and that my hubby's sperm wasn't good enough​So at least they said aww ​Honestly when it comes to having a baby no one will honestly support you and say the right things cause they don't know how hard it is ​I try to keep my self up and be my own best friend ​sending you lots of  baby dust ✨?​And a big hug

It sucks when your friends are so unsupportive because you feel like they should be your biggest support team...

When I told a couple of friends they acted like they didn't care and told me to adopt. They treat me like I shouldn't be trying because I'm 35. They already have children and have never been in my shoes so I feel like who are they to tell me I'm to old? It doesn't matter how old I get I will always desire to have children. No support at all, I feel like I have to hide it from people and when my husband tells people I get real emotional, like it's supposed to be this big secret...
