I haven't regretted it yet, but I'm sure (as Lisa pointed out) that at least one person will be inappropriate! :)<br /><br />Foxy - The day after I turned thirty, I posted as my status that I was heading to the RE to get my uterus mapped and to learn how to give myself belly shots. Then I said, "Yay for being thirty and infertile!!" That got a lot of attention. Then recently I posted about how people say stupid things to others when they don't know what to say about finding out they are struggling to get prego. That led to some pretty funny comments and lots of support, too! :)Aubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534603162700547210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982964913552952698.post-30744272922523250502011-02-21T12:07:14.140-08:002011-02-21T12:07:14.140-08:00Wow - I am super impressed that you are "out&...Wow - I am super impressed that you are "out" on facebook. I recently "liked" the resolve page, and that was a really huge step for me. Not that anyone else would even notice, but... <br /><br />what did you say exactly? I don't want to reveal that we are cycling right now, but would like to start opening up a little more.

I agree that it is important to put faces and names to the statistics. I am glad to hear that your being so open and honest is giving some of your Facebook friends the opporuntity to connect with you and realize that they are not alone. I can appreciate how validating it is to receive a message like that. <br /><br />I wish you the best on your journey through SIF. I know all too well how painful it can be. I hope that your current cycle is the one that finally brings you the child that you want so much. Hang in there!<br /><br />Take care,<br />Kathy<br /><br />ICLWKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982964913552952698.post-68800947765498413562011-02-21T08:16:37.680-08:002011-02-21T08:16:37.680-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982964913552952698.post-82967013052265154342011-02-18T12:51:33.559-08:002011-02-18T12:51:33.559-08:00You are BRAVE!

I don't mind telling people in person, and also have had positive feedback, but on coming out of the closet on FB is a whole other thing... a lot of those people I haven't seen for 10 or more years since I was in New Zealand and and I am a scaredy cat!Luciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623807852918160664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982964913552952698.post-72687628286221582682011-02-18T08:34:21.344-08:002011-02-18T08:34:21.344-08:00I know how you feel!

It makes me wonder why it (generally) takes so long for us to speak out about it. It also makes me sad that so many women are afraid to talk about this, when we really need to be a support to each other. Good for you for putting yourself out there!!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096489486428442108noreply@blogger.com
