How do I handle pregnancy news from others?

It is possible to care about someone and still feel hurt by their news.

What you should know

You can set limits on social media or events for a while. You can ask loved ones to share news privately. You do not owe anyone a full account of your treatment. A counselor may help if grief or isolation becomes hard to manage.

What to ask your care team

“Where can I find a fertility support group?”

One important reminder

Set boundaries that work for you; there is no single right response.

Before your next visit

Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
