When someone shares with you that they're TTC but haven't been successful yet, what do you say? Or, if you were having problems TTC, what would you want people to say when you tell them about it?
I had a friend tell me this recently and while I tried to navigate this issue carefully, I never know quite what to say... I saw it mentioned in today's TTC guest blog, and it got me thinking about it again.

I'm on cycle 8 and I would feel better if someone said 'well, I'll be thinking of you."

I never ever bring it up or ask for updates, but I'll make sure to get some QT in with my friend. And if the opportunity arises, I might ask once or twice a year how things are going.

I would never bring it up, especially since we've had a miscarriage and it upsets me when people ask me when we're having kids.
If they brought it up, I would just say I was sorry to hear that and offer to be there for them if they needed to talk! I think it's so important to be supportive but not pry.
