Infertility Etiquette

Just a follow up on a previous post about how to talk to people who are having infertility issues. My good friend sent me a link to this article, and it looks great. Let me know what you think.

I have a question about ettiquette...As someone who isn't struggling with infertility, but has friends who are. I want them to know I love them and want to include them in my life, but I don't want to repeatedly inflict pain. So the invitations to showers, the birth announcement cards, all of that....should I skip it? Of course I try to be sensitive when "breaking the news," but all of the other extras...it is more offensive to skip them, or to extend them knowing the pain it causes? Just wondering what your opinion is. It doesn't hurt my feeling to have them skip my baby shower, but I also don't want them to feel obligated to come, or to feel excluded or unloved if I don't send the invite or the photo birth announcement. So what is right?
