Was I wrong to say this to my friend

She is 29 and on IVF via the NHS.
She has had two goes and now is on the last round however she is always complaining about she is being violently sick, cannot stop vomiting and has terrible flu symptoms which is due to the medication for IVF.

She doesnt want to live her life her goal is purely to be pregnant she has had to take weeks off work for this and is at risk of losing her job.

Her partner well he isnt even around to help her with her medication so obviously wont be with a baby. He is cheating and have drug and drink binges with his mates. He is 24 so suppose doing what 24yr olds do.

Anyway she told me again she has had to go to her grandparents to look after her because of her being so weak
I messages her back 3 days ago saying she is killing herself doing this IVF and her having a baby right now is obviously not meant to be and she should focus on making her body well before trying again.

I know it's not what she wants to hear and it's none of my business but I am scared for her... can IVF cause irreversible damage to your body at all?

She is obsessed with getting pregnant alone and thinks a baby will solve all her issues especially with her partner

Was I wrong to say this to her?

I can we that your sentiment was to try and protect her, OP. However, your message was unkind and hurtful.

When you have fertility issues, time is of the essence and she probably doesn’t feel that she has a lot of time at all, and would rather just have a baby with whoever than risk not at all.

Don't be ridiculous.
