Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes having a child does not always happen according to plan. If you or somebody you love is coping with infertility, Cupid has some ways to help during the difficult and emotional times:
1. Validate their feelings: A common mindset of people who struggle with fertility is to blame themselves. They have more than a right to be upset, so make sure they know it’s okay to feel what they’re feeling. It’s also important that they know they are not alone and their infertility issues are not their fault.

2. Learn: Infertility is kind of a taboo subject to talk about, so you might be in the dark about the details and latest information. Sit down at your computer and take some time to research the subject. Keeping up to date will show you care and will help you empathize with them a lot better.

3. Know what and what not to say: We often default into saying phrases that we’ve heard, and think are helpful (i.e. “just relax” or “you can always try another way”). In almost all cases, these words will hurt more than help. It’s much more calming to ask your loved one “how are you doing” or “how can I help” because you’re thinking of their feelings rather than trying to fix the problem. Most times, people just want somebody to listen to them.
