What To Text Your Friend Who’s Trying To Conceive

Trying to get pregnant can be incredibly emotional, even if everything is in “working order” and there aren’t any known fertility issues. So when a friend is trying to conceive a baby, knowing how to offer support is so important. Is bringing up the subject taboo? Can you try to help them laugh about it? What kind of texts can you send to a friend trying to conceive?

Perhaps what’s most important is to consider your friend’s feelings and personality first before you hit send. Consider that what you say in a text needs to pass the inflection test (meaning, can they hear your tone in your words). If something you think is funny might not come off that way in text form, reconsider. Being sensitive to someone struggling with conception is paramount. If they’re undergoing fertility treatment, drugs may make them more emotional. Others might feel anxious or depressed. And some are just ready to be a parent, and having to wait to see two pink lines on a stick can leave them fraught with stress and worry and sadness. Seeing your friend for who they are as a person, and knowing that the wait to get pregnant can feel overwhelming to just about anyone, can help humanize their experience and make them feel less alone.

So yes, do reach out via text to your friend who’s trying to get pregnant, but do it in a way that lets them know you’re there and ready to listen if they need to talk and share and vent or maybe even just let them cry for a bit.
