I stumbled on this Etsy shop and thought it might be relevant for those of us with close friends going through infertility (or going through it ourselves.)

Love these!

These are great! Some just really nail it.
I'd love to see some pregnant-after-IVF cards, too! Like "Be Happy. And try to not freak out too much!"

Cute! Although, I think I would only give this to people who were also going through IF since I was going through it myself.
For some of these, I'm not sure how I would feel if I got it from someone who has not gone through IF. They can try to be strong for us but sometimes they won't get it. Also, it might still sting... even though, they mean well. Sure, give me a card as you pop out babies. (Sorry, I'm not trying to be bitter but IF sticks with you and it does hurt when your friends are fertile.)
But, yeah, great idea from IF friend to another IF friend.
ETA: I still stand by that a simple 'Thinking of you' from anyone would make my day while going through IVF treatments. I am trying to figure out how I would feel if the card said 'Thinking of you. #IFsucks'.

@bluestriped bee: completely agree. "Thinking of you" goes a long, long way.
