Not sure if I should post this here or AIBU, but feel here will get opinions of people who are touched by infertility.
I am currently going through my second early miscarriage, but I am lucky enough to also have a DC who I conceived after two years of TTC.
My (former, should I say) best friend has been ttc for four years and it starts to look like she may remain childless. When I was pregnant with DD she tried to be there in some way, but made it clear it isn’t easy for her. To be honest a lot of the time it feels like she is forcing herself to meet me or keep contact otherwise. We do have much less contact since my successful pregnancy.
Now, I’ve shared with her the news I’m going through a miscarriage. Instead of offering any empathy, she made it clear hearing this has made her feel awful and basically ruined her holidays. She seemed to think I’m just one lucky bastard to have gotten a bfp again.
She did realize her reaction was from a place of personal pain and not perhaps the most appropriate one. However, I am left feeling sad and like I made a big mistake by telling her about my mc. I feel offended really. AIBU?
