Friend fishes for infertility sympathy but isn’t infertile.

Ne

I am not a confrontational person, but every once in a while I can get frustrated about something I feel deeply about.

I have a friend who is 10 years younger than me. She is 22. She didn’t want to have a baby until a few months ago, and got pregnant the first month she tried. (She did mention that last summer she got off of birth control for about 2-3 months and nothing happened).

She miscarried the baby at 3-4 weeks...super early. Then got pregnant again about 2-3 weeks later. This baby implanted and is growing right on track.

She keeps sharing posts on her Facebook about infertility and things to never say to an infertile woman. Yet, she isn’t infertile. Not even close. I feel bad that she had an early miscarriage, but I don’t feel that’s the same.

As a woman with PCOS who has suffered for years, takes years to get pregnant WITH medical intervention, it does offend me.

Do you ignore it? Do you say something?

Also, it’s not just Facebook posts. She mentions her body not working and being infertile face to face as well. I get feeling that your body failed you when you had the miscarriage, but is that the same thing as claiming you are completely infertile?
