Infertility Etiquette

Infertility Etiquette

Did you know, more than seven million people of childbearing age in the United States experience infertility?  That’s a lot of people!  As many of us know, infertility is stressful, painful, discouraging, and just plain difficult to deal with.  All too often we don’t say anything because we aren’t sure what to say or how to say it.  Although we truly can’t comprehend their situation, how do we show these people we support them?  Do you have a loved one suffering with this disease and are having trouble finding the right things to say?  Fortunately, RESOLVE has taken the time to write down some “Do’s and Don’ts” such as “Don’t tell them to Relax” and “Offer to pray for them”.  Follow this link to RESOLVE’s infertility guidelines that will help you when speaking to these Couples:
