My dh's best friend and his wife have been ttc for at least 2 years now. We have known them since before our ds (3 1/2)was born.
We found out that I was pregnant in Aug (they knew we wanted another child) which coincided with them telling us they had been initially refused IVF as their chances of conceiving were so low due to his sperm count. Needless to say we did not mention my pregnancy at this point as we wanted to concentrate on their news and be there to support them.
As time went on we felt guilty at not telling them our news as ordinarily they would have been one of the first to know. Anyway to cut a long story a bit shorter my dh told his best friend.
Since then we have arranged to meet up 4 times, 3 of which they have cancelled altogether and one time dh's best friend came on his own.
I acknowledge that we cannot imagine how they are feeling and we are trying to be as sensitive as possible. However I am worried that the longer we avoid each other the greater the chance that our friendship will end. At the weekend DH sent a text to his mate saying that we have noticed that they haven't kept to any of our arranged meet ups.Are they finding my pregnancy difficult/ if so we do understand. So far we have had no reply.
Please can you offer any advice on what we should do?
