I think I received the first official infertility card

My friend in NC sent me one of those Hallmark IF cards. I know she means well and she wrote a very sweet note inside, but it still seems kind of weird to receive a card sayiing "I'm sorry you are having trouble with conception"

Re: I think I received the first official infertility card

Honestly I know she meant well but why did Hallmark make a card for this? It's bad enough the constant reminders around us but a freakin card to rub it in. I'm sorry but if I got a card like that on a bad day it may throw me over the edge.

Sorry GertyChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Hopefully after Monday they will be sending you a card congratulating you on your BFP.

I guess no one who works in the "new ideas" department at Hallmark has ever been through IF

Actually this is exactly what it says.....


I wish I could make things happen for you the way you want them to. I know how much a child would mean to you.

I'm still hoping and believing for you...and keeping you in my heart.

I think the sentiment is kind of sweet, but it's a bit in your face.

What will they think of next? as my Mum is very fond of saying

It's a nice thought but it seems a like it's bit patronizing.

Re: I think I received the first official infertility card

I agree - I think a 'thinking about you card' is more appropriate.
