Please help me to be the best friend possible. My dear friend just had a failed IUF. This is the end of the road for her. I don't want her to look back years from now and wish she had tried once more. Should I offer to pay for another proceedure or am I overstepping my position? Thank you for your input.

Hi there,
welcome to the board. I have some advice to give, hope it helps. First of all, I think you are a wonderful friend for offerring to pay for another procedure, that is a true friend, I hope she knows how wonderful your offer is. Second of all, I think you should sit down and talk to her about her feelings with going further. I myself, had a bfp the first IUI we did, only to miscarry 2 weeks before Christmas this past season. I think each individual person knows how much they can take emotionally with this infertility journey. She will probably need to search her heart, and decide if she can go any further. It all comes down to the fact that no matter what you do in this process, there are never any guarantees, you hope with all your might that you will be blessed with your miracle, but it's certainly a long, hard, emotional struggle through it all. If it's not about money for her, because you have offerred to pay, than she will be able to decide emotionally. My best friend supports me know matter what happens in my journey, and that's what kind of friend I think you are, from what you've said. My best friend is there for me, always, no matter what, with open loving arms and a shoulder to cry on. Good luck with everything, and I'll be praying for you both.
