I was hoping to get some advice from those of you who have been TTC without any luck.

I am trying to get pg and need some advice as to how to tell my best friend when I am. She has been TTC for about 2 yrs (about when I had my DD). In October, she was diagnosed with a hormone producing pituitary tumor. It's producing prolactin, thus the reason she hasn't been able to get PG.


They're treating her with hormones in the hope she can get PG, but to date, it hasn't happened. She is discourage and says she will stop trying if it doesn't happen this year.


She's my

I think the best thing you can do is to tell her up front that you and your DH have decided to start TTC, that way she has time to get used to the idea. IMO, it's better than springing it on her after the fact.

Debbie,


By showing concern for your BF's feeling shows that you really are a true friend. I am sure it is vice versa.

I have been the "best friend" in this situation...tell her that you are TTC. My cousin and her husband got pregnant right after they got married and miscarried very soon after. I got married just a few months later and started TTC immediatly. She told me that she was not going to try for awhile...and that was not the case. They were pregnant soon after she miscarried, and she wouldnt tell me. She told my mom & sister that she didnt want me to be mad, because she knew how bad we want a baby. About 3 wks later she told me. I was shocked and of course I was jeaulous. I would have felt better if she would have just told me from the start, and
