Pregnant after 35

How to ask...

My soon-to-be SIL told me that she and FI have been trying to concieve (well not trying, but not doing anything to prevent it) for a few months. They are getting married in June and would be happy if she was already a few months pregnant. They are 34 and 33yo so they don't want to wait to start their family. She said she thinks she is going to have problems convieving- just a feeling from what she said, no "issues" mentioned- and has an appointment with a fertility doctor lined up this week. I wanted to text her and see what's up, if she had gone yet, any results she might have gotten, but I feel like "Hey, did you go to the fertility doctor yet?" is a bit intrusive. She mentioned the appointment to me and we talked all about them TTC so I feel like she wouldn't mind sharing if she went/results/etc but how do I ask?

We aren't phone chatters, email and text only, unless we are in person then we chat away.  Thanks for any advice!

  • Heck, I would just ask her if she went to see a specialist yet. She sounds like she's pretty open to talking about it and wouldn't mind you asking because it means you are thinking about her and care.

  • I am sure she will be happy to have someone to talk to about it!!!  Just send an email or text saying "Hey, you mentioned an appt this week, hope it all went well.  Let me know if you want to talk!".

  • I dunno.. I think I'd wait until this weekend to ask about it.  Give them a little bit of time to digest the information, etc.   Otherwise, you might come across as nosy.

    But that's just me.

  • She told you first about the appointment.  I would be a little hurt if no one asked how it went.  Text and/or email away.
