My friend's recent attempt at IVF has not worked . It was her second failed attempt and used the last of her frozen fertilised embryos.

I was her egg donor.

I feel so desperately sad, which is pathetic as it's not my grief IYKWIM but I just feel like I have failed her and her dh.

They are wonderful and so deserve to be parents, it's just so unfair.

Sorry for the name change but I'm a regular and don't want to be identified, but I just had to talk to someone somewhere who might understand.

Sorry if this in in the wrong topic, I couldn't really figure out where to put it.

Sorry I have no experience of this, and can't offer you any insights.

What are they going to do next?

i don't think wrong topic.

i think it is your grief too. you have made a hell of an emotional investment in this.
how terribly sad.

what's their next plan?

Thanks for responding.
I don't know what they will do next, they have an appointment in a few weeks to see what they want to do next.
I don't know what to do, I don't know whether to offer again, it was quite an awful process but like childbirth, memories fade!
I'm not normally a very emotional person but I was just so hopeful that it would work.
After I tucked my DD into bed tonight I cried for my friend I just can't seem to lift this wave of sadness.
