Like asking a friend whether they got dressed in the dark this morning, there are some questions that should simply never be asked.<\/p>\n
When it comes to a friend who is trying to conceive<\/strong>, direct comments about their fertility<\/strong> or lack of it, suggestions about lifestyle changes or treatments for infertility<\/strong>, or even a suggestion they don\u2019t know how lucky they are, are an absolute no-no. The majority of people who have no trouble getting pregnant may not realise that this is far from a rare occurrence. Around 1 in 7 couples in the UK may discover that they have difficulty conceiving. This is approximately 3.5 million people, and between 1991 and 2016 there were over 1.1 million IVF<\/strong> fertility treatment<\/strong> cycles in UK licenced clinics. That covers a lot of people, so one or more of them is likely to be among your friends.<\/p>\n
