Friends struggling to conceive

[Noonecaresifyounamechange]

I have a dear friend who has been trying to conceive with their husband for nearly two years. It’s been a rough time for them recently with lots of friends either announcing pregnancies (my self included! or giving birthday.
I want to send her/ them something to let them know I’m thinking of them/ praying for them etc, but honestly I’ve no idea what to send.

In the past I’ve sent my friend a care package with bath things, wine, chocolates, flowers etc when she’s been having a hard time. But someone at work suggested I send something including a fertility bracelet , st Gerard chain, or things more related to their situation.

Is that crass and insensitive?

Personally I wouldn't. If you want to send them something, a box of chocs or flowers is better.

I've been on both sides - my first was conceived relatively easily but had friend who had many many issues. I'm now struggling with getting pregnant with a second. I think if anything I'd feel angry if someone sent me a fertility bracelet.

Thanks @Confusedddddddd ! I thought as much. I’ve seen there’s gift boxes on Etsy and things but the idea didn’t sit right with me.

Ill send flowers & chocolates like I normally would.

Fingers crossed for pregnancy journey 🤞 (or pretend I said something that’s actually comforting!)

My mam bought me a Saint Gerard medal when we were struggling and I really like it. Suppose it depends on the person.

I agree, I wouldn't get her a fertility bracelet... I have both received and given a fertility bracelet from/to close friends who were going through IVF before/after me, and that was hugely appreciated, but it would have had a totally different effect coming from someone who hasn't been through it.

Flowers and chocolates sound lovely, and it's really nice of you to think of that. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

A care box would be fantastic, but nothing that says "fertility". You are a good friend.
