How do you handle insensitivity?
My husband and I have been TTC #1 for almost a year with no success. My SIL (husband's brother's wife) has known this and I have talked with her about how difficult it is for me emotionally every month that we're unsuccessful. Just this past month, she and her husband tried for the first time for baby #2 (with her first pregnancy they got pregnant with my niece the first month they tried). Today while at her house she excitedly showed the whole family a picture of a BFP from this weekend, joking about how fertile she is and how they keep getting pregnant on the first try. I know she is excited and of course I'm happy for her but it just seems like an insensitive way for her to handle the situation. It really hurt my feelings but I don't know how or if I should even bring it up to her. I am already discouraged and disappointed that it's been so difficult for my husband and me and I don't want to cause any drama within the family. My husband's parents are so excited for their second grandchild and I'm afraid if I say something it will seem like I'm trying to take away from her big moment. How would you handle this situation??
