WWYD? Re: Good friend TTC and may need some help

Mrs.Greg

A good friend of mine is TTC #2.  She was one of the lucky ones who got PG the first cycle off BC with #1.  So she's kinda clueless when it comes to actually TTC.  She and her DH have been TTC since March and every month, she makes little comments about how she's not PG yet, she doesn't know why, they had sex when she O'd, etc.  Would it be weird for me to ask HOW she knows she ovulated?  She and I talk about a lot of personal things but for some reason TTC is not something we discuss in detail, we just kinda talk about it in passing.  I want to help my friend... if she wants the help.  She knows that my DH and I are TTC right now but this is only our second cycle.  And we TTC for nearly 2 years before getting PG with #1.  So I kinda feel like I know my stuff.  But I don't want to seem like a know-it-all, should I just wait until she asks me for help or advice?

I would just straight out ask her and then if she has no clue, you can help her.

I would ask her by starting with "are you sure you're ovulating?" Then proceed to educate her. You could make it about you and say you wanted to make sure you were ovulating and getting the most out of your fertile days, so you chart, and so on.

I wonder if it would feel comfortable for you to mention 'a really great book called TCOYF that taught you so much, blah, blah blah'.

Or, perhaps a comment about your chart or your OPKs not looking positive enough to you and what does she think- has she gotten one that was kinda almost positive but just not quite?

Hope that helps!

Agreed. Or just bring your copy with the next time you're over and "accidentally" leave it at her house.
